Question

I need to login to Amazon page: https://sellercentral-japan.amazon.com/gp/sign-in/sign-in.html/ref=pt_login_lgin_login with PHP cURL (without Amazon Web Service).

Here is code how I tried for that:

const AMAZON_LOGIN_URL = "https://sellercentral-japan.amazon.com/gp/sign-in/sign-in.html/ref=pt_login_lgin_login";

$this->crawler = new crawler();        
// login with Amazon account
$parameters ='protocol=https&action=sign-in&email='.self::AMAZON_USER.'&password='.self::AMAZON_PWD;
$status = $this->crawler->logIn(self::AMAZON_LOGIN_URL, $parameters);

/* in crawler class */
//This is used for login.
function logIn($loginActionUrl, $parameters) {
    $strCookie = 'D:\public_html\project\cookie.txt';

    curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_URL, $loginActionUrl);
    curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $parameters);

    curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
    curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
    curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
    curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

    curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $strCookie);
    curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $strCookie);

    $content = curl_exec($this->curl);
    return $content;
}

As a response, I get login page with error message: “Your login session expired. Please sign in again.”
And this message is also displayed:

“Not Found

The requested URL /aan/2009-09-09/static/amazon/iframeproxy-12.html was not found on this server.”

I have tried most of the solutions found on web.
This solution was hopeful but still not working:
PHP Curl – Cookies problem
I have changed required login page URL and made few other changes but it give this error:

“There was an error trying to perform this operation. Please try again in 15 minutes.”
even after 15 min, it gives the same error.

If anybody can help, it would be help.

Thanks.

Just for marking as answer:
you have to 2 things:

1. Request login page from server using get method
2. Send login data using new session and with hidden inputs
