  • CURL allows you emulate some actions of a real person with a real browser like:
    get content, post content, redirect etc.

    - You can do absolutely the same manually into your browser.
    - If your purpose is getting content without doing any actions you might consider the get file (get remote file) methods, they don't use curl.

    • You can use the file_get_contents function, but most hosting disable retrieving data using this function from external URLs (other sites).

      You can also use the fopen function, a bit more complex than file_get_contents though.

      However I always prefer cURL for these tasks. You can check this page here for more info,

  • For advanced functionality (i.e. custom setups), you may need a VPS.
    Something similar is why I have one*.
