cURL API

Post by robg1981 »

The api system is a great tutorial but now days cURL is so much easier and less coding to get the final results.

I know cURL well so this may not apply to me even though i do learn new things everyday but making a cURL api tutorial would be good.

The reason I didn't use cURL for the API video is because it's about 3 times slower.
I will do some videos on it though, but not just sending post data.

I didnt know cURL was that slow :o

I have never noticed the loading speed on the site increase from using it.

I use it for facebook and twitter feeds, users, likes and lots more.

I also do it so my clients websites communicate with my website.

Now i know that cURL is slow i will look for a better solution.

It's not slow exactly, it may take three times as long but that is only something like 0.03 seconds. That's probably longer than the actual request would take anyway.
