Cannot get the json result using curl in php

Question

Here I am try to get the JSON data from live share market(https://www.nseindia.com/live_market/dynaContent/live_watch/get_quote/ajaxGetQuoteJSON.jsp?symbol=tcs).

This url is return the JSON data in web browser. But I cannot get the JSON details using curl OR file_get_contents.

PHP Code:

$url='https://www.nseindia.com/live_market/dynaContent/live_watch/get_quote/ajaxGetQuoteJSON.jsp?symbol=tcs';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
$result=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);    
$result_array =json_decode($result, true);

print_r($result_array);//Empty result

what is output when you execute that code? what is your php version? — marmeladze

From my test, it looks like you mabe get getting an "Access Denied". Not JSON. — Jonnix

If you add some error checking like if($errno = curl_errno($ch)) { $error_message = curl_strerror($errno); echo "cURL error ({$errno}):\n {$error_message}"; } then you get the error Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates Or at least I do — RiggsFolly

Try this one, it is working fine. You were missing some required headers. This url doesn't give any result without this header User-Agent

<?php
$url='https://www.nseindia.com/live_market/dynaContent/live_watch/get_quote/ajaxGetQuoteJSON.jsp?symbol=tcs';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,array(
"Accept-Encoding:UTF-8",
"Content-type: application/json",
"User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.82 Safari/537.36"));
$result=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$result_array =json_decode($result, true);

print_r($result_array);

Output:

I am getting error# Warning: curl_errno(): 2 is not a valid cURL handle resource in C:\xampp\htdocs\test.php on line 26

Hmm I am using Windows as well. Is this a certificate issue.

Try to set validator to false: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
