How to get data from a website that uses SSL using cURL and PHP?

Question

I am trying to get some data from a website where you need to have a SSL certificate to be able to connect to it. I have found the following code :

// create curl         


        

Answer 1

Try this.

<?php

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
    CURLOPT_URL => "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1",
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
    CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
    CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
    CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array("content-type: application/json"),
));

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($err) {
    echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
    echo $response;
}
