Question

I am using the following code to retrieve video ID, title, thumbnail, duration and tags.

$dailymotion = "https://api.dailymotion.com/video/xreczc?fields=title,duration,thumbnail_url,id,tags";
$curl = curl_init($dailymotion);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$return = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
$results = json_decode($return, true);
print_r($results);

However it returns empty/blank page. I am using this on my localhost what could be wrong? I can call https://api.dailymotion.com/video/xreczc?fields=title,duration,thumbnail_url,id,tags directly in the browser and it works.

Any help, or ideas?

This code seems to fix it.

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.dailymotion.com/video/".$id."?fields=id,title,thumbnail_url,tags,duration,embed_url");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20);
$results = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$results = json_decode($results);
if (!$results || $results->error->code) {
    return false;
} else {
    return $results;
}
