Failed to obtain user information when logging in with GitHub account

Question

When logging in to GitHub, I found that directly using curl to simulate a get request cannot obtain user information, but pasting out the link can return information when the browser directly accesses it. Please tell me how to request it in PHP

Answer 1

GitHub's documentation says that when calling the API, the request header needs to contain User-Agent, so directly file_get_content will produce a 403, and then the browser can access it. The solution is to use curl to simulate a get request and add User-Agent to the header of the request. You can copy the value from the browser.

Answer 2

Use file_get_content directly, simple and clear
