I use cURL a lot in development. Let me know here in the comments if you want me to expand on the example and even possibly build out a full API that can pull data from another site.

[JillRhoads]

This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks for putting in json with it as well and keeping it as simple as possible. Now I can do my REST API calls without bothering the external API server the whole time.

You are the king of PHP . Thanks for tutorials!

Thank you for mentioning that there are curl builders out there! Twillio only gives curl examples on their examples and I found a curl to php website that has done all the hard work for me :D

Thanks for this Joshua. If you ever get a chance I'd like to see a tutorial on the POST method for cURL. Basically filling out a form and then sending that data using cURL and a JSON File.

Hello Joshua,
You mentioned that you used cURL to track number of sold products from your client's site.

So could you plz briefly mention the main points of the process? I mean, one could also put a plugin that would fire on every successful sale and contact an external API via POST method. But I guess cURL allows intrusion without login or inserting plugin as it can easily be deleted by client.

What makes cURL ideal for this circumstance.
Im still learning backend WP and finding your tutorials very VERY helpful. Dnt stop plz. :)

Although a video on using cURL to track something like purchases on a client site would be great ✌🏼🙂

Would love to see a vid on using cURL in wordpress to hide API keys. I'm using leaflet map and need an API key in my markers url and I can't figure out how to hide it.

How to fetch api data every second without setInterval as setinterval is just single threaded and not proper solution for this
