curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Accept: application/xml",  "Authorization:DEV-7979307A05A8A50B6535A5AD5DCD8EDB060B:API-4D297E18498B51B70EA986DC7422B1BCE488"));

Are you 100% committed to solving this problem yourself? There's a TON of complexity here and you might find it easier to use existing solutions already out there on the market. [PopShops](http://www.popshops.com/) will aggregate all of those product offers for you from the different networks and let you consume that data any way you like. — jonaz, Sep 18 '13 at 14:34
thankx jonaz for suggesting me the solution :) , and yeah the task is to grab the product list from these sites, well ClickBank is giving its xml feed for whole product list, https://support.clickbank.com/entries/22824126-marketplace-feed here, i had parsed this xml, and soon i will write code for it to grab that from the direct link not to download, so that when they will update i will get updated products. same can be the solution for the CJ and link share,maybe, i am again searching :p lolxx so if any one can still suggest me on what i had asked before and what i am doing, wl b grateful:) — waqas umar, Sep 20 '13 at 12:15

Okey , that question i posted was somewhat one and half month before , i know answers are present all around the web but scattered and i want them to be gathered so if some one need it can use it.

first of all i am giving you for CJ, Comission Junction: 1) Creat a page e.g cjcall.php and put the following code on that page.

// CJ Product Grabing cjcall.php

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://product-search.api.cj.com/v2/product-search?website-id=YOUR-SITE-ID&keywords=KEYWORD&records-per-page=30&serviceable-area=US");

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER,false); 

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true); 

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Accept: application/xml",  "Authorization:YOUR-CJ-DEVELOPER-ID"));
    $result = curl_exec($ch);

THIS will give you responce of products against your keyword if it is matching products.

you can get you result the way you want i figured it this way that i created a new page called cjcronjob.php and put the following code on that page and run it , there you can use the product details, i.e may be save in the database.

//cjcronjob.php

$homepage = file_get_contents('ABSOLUTE-PATH-TO-THE-FIRST-CJCALL.PHP-FILE/cjcall.php');


$object = simplexml_load_string($homepage);


    foreach($object->products->product as $cjres)
    {

}

nOW each product is in your control use it in here inside the foreach loop which will run twenty times here as specified in the curl call. clickbank is still a mystery , may be they dont allow you to perform more against their API

dude accept your own answer (if the code works. It will be helpful for the readers to find working solution then) — Syntax Error, Dec 16 '14 at 12:33

okey the second was linkshare product grabing from linkshare , which is a bit different than other affiliate channels, in a sence that here first you will create relation on the linkshare advertisers , and you can the products of those who will allow you to be his advertiser or affiliate:

here is the code:

$ch = curl_init();

    $cv = curl_version();

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, TRUE);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://productsearch.linksynergy.com/productsearch?token=YOUR-LINKSHARE-TOKEN-ID-A-VERY-LONG-STRING&keyword=%22YOUR-KEYWORD%22&MaxResults=20&pagenumber=1&mid=MID-THE-ID-OF-THE-ADVERTIZER-WHO-HAS-ALLOWED-YOU&sort=retailprice&sorttype=asc&sort=productname&sorttype=asc");
$xml_data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$object = simplexml_load_string($xml_data);

    foreach($object->item as $signprod)
    {}

under the foreach loop you can do what ever you want, just print_r($signprod) and you will get the details , put the keyword matching against your allowed advertiser's product, by helping you more say i have a relation with some cookies site, who's MID is xxxxx , then i write cookies in the keyword and it get results for me, do accordingly. its simple and yeah it will take a long time on net if someone is new like me, which i was before more than a month ago.
