Hello all,
I have a site that has a simple API which can be used via http. I wish to make use of the API and submit data about 1000-1500 times at one time. Here is their API: http://api.jum.name/
I have constructed the URL to make a submission but now I am wondering what is the best way to make these 1000-1500 API GET requests? Here is the PHP CURL implementation I was thinking of:
$add = 'http://www.mysite.com/3rdparty/API/api.php?fn=post&username=test&password=tester&url=http://google.com&category=21&title=story a&content=content text&tags=Season,news';
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "$add");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'files/cookie.txt');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$postdata = curl_exec ($ch);
Shall I close the CURL connection every time I make a submission? Can I re-write the above in a better way that will make these 1000-1500 submissions quicker?
Thanks all
