RE: Can Not Load Youtube Page To Get Source Code In Php

Hi Rick,

 

Your Canadian server is probably getting this response:

Notice the "This video is not available in your region" error message (I got
that from my web browser, and I live in Singapore). And yes, if you tunnel
your request through a US proxy, it will probably work.

as i am in US my server is Canada.. so I will see if a US PROXY makes a
difference? i never used it so i see if i can get curl working with it..


yeah if i post the linke in my FF3 address bar 

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/dxOpi41Jbys 

it opens a new tab with a temporary file that contains all the proper info
and shows FIREFOX BROWSER. 

i just can not get the same result from the php page i made and curl?

Hi Rick,

 

Once again, it works fine here:

http://phpieceofcake.com/?66888746

 

I'm guessing that YouTube is blocking all non-US IPs from accessing *that
video* due to copyright issues (phpieceofcake.com and
sandbox.phpieceofcake.com are hosted on US servers; that's why it's
working). There's nothing wrong with cURL and your script, and as you have
said, your script works fine with other YouTube videos. So if you need your
script to work for that particular video and other copyright-restricted
videos, you'll have to either host it on a US server or send the request
through a US proxy.

 

As for how to use a proxy in cURL.there's quite a lot of information out
there:

well i was trying to load the YOUTUBE API to get the XML and the DATA about
the Video 

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/dxOpi41Jbys

which it downloads in my browser fine but when i put on my server in the php
file it does not work and it returns me a different page...


  $ch = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,
'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/dxOpi41Jbys'
<http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/dxOpi41Jbys%27> );
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1');
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
  $google_string = curl_exec($ch);
  curl_close($ch);
  $google_string = utf8_encode($google_string);
  print_r($google_string);

as i tested our page and it works correctly?

is there a way bypass IP-range restriction and see if thats the problem.
Thats would be weird as i can grab other videoid's no proble

i never tried the PROXY with curl so can that help test and see if that the
issue or something i can see in the headers or something?

Hi Rick,

 

Your code works fine. It's probably some IP-range restriction for that video
on Youtube's side that's blocking your server.
