JSON - HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

[Martin Nenning]

Hi!

I'm trying to write a simple plugin in wordpress for my bandwebsite to show our last played shows.

I got the JSON data from my request when I put the URL with artists and my API key in the browser - that works.

But If I try to use my plugin with the JSON request I allways get this error message:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://api.songkick.com/api/3.0/artists/xxx/gigography.json?apikey=xxx&order=desc): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in /home/.sites/109/site852/web/wp-content/plugins/songkick/past_concerts.php on line 13 Fatal error: Call to undefined function events_from_json() in /home/.sites/109/site852/web/wp-content/plugins/songkick/past_concerts.php on line 16

If I test the php code with XAMPP the programm is working fine, but on the bandwebsiteserver I always get this error-message.

Anyone an idea whats going wrong?

thanks, Martin

Hi Martin

Sorry, I'm not sure what this could be... maybe someone else can help?

There's the Songkick WordPress plugin which can show past dates, maybe that works?
