How to work around a site forbidding me to scrape their images with PHP
- by Petruza
I'm scraping a site, searching for JPGs to download.
Scraping the site's HTML pages works fine.
But when I try getting the JPGs with CURL, copy(), fopen(), etc., I get a 403 forbiden status.
I know that's because the site owners don't want their images scraped, so I understand a good answer would be just don't do it, because they don't want you…
