The problem is resolved. The problem is my local server.

Of course I meant to say: replace “& amp ;” with “&”

If you get the MISSING_ARG_APIKEY error using the above script, you have probably used the “copy” button to copy it to your clipboard, which adds html entity encoding. Replace & with & in the url’s and the error should go away.

Hi, Thanks for this code. Just to add some. you can use wp_remote_fopen if you are running a WP blog. It will try with fopen first to retrieve the remote url and if it is not present it will switch over to curl.

This may be true but not all servers allow file_get_contents() to be run, making CURL the real only solution.
