Question

i want to get data from remote API with curl but not works: (im using ip board btw)

$url = "http://www.voobly.com/api/findusers/". $nick_list . "?key=" . $voobly_key;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //Set curl to return the data instead of printing it to the browser.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $response;

this is the response i get:

Why do I have to complete a CAPTCHA?

Completing the CAPTCHA proves you are a human and gives you temporary access to the web property.

What can I do to prevent this in the future?

If you are on a personal connection, like at home, you can run an anti-virus scan on your device to make sure it is not infected with malware.

If you are at an office or shared network, you can ask the network administrator to run a scan across the network looking for misconfigured or infected devices.

anyone know how to solve this

API provider said i need to add a valid browser agent string + PHP cookie session but idk what wrong here :(

Answer 1

The web site you're trying to access has misconfigured Cloudflare to block bots from accessing their site… including the API.

You will need to contact them to have them disable this. There is no easy workaround -- the whole point of this feature is to prevent scripts from accessing the site.
