PHP monitors whether the Apple Store has "2014-09-15" (server side)

The annual Apple new products just a few days after the release, September 12 on the official listing, in accordance with the Convention, farmers have to fight on the net, the Apple Store in Hong Kong after the official opening of the 12th 3 o'clock in the afternoon to buy, haven't had time to write a good script, through constant press F5 and enter, unremitting efforts under, robbed 1 units!

After harvest, deliberately write down this script, monitoring Apple online store whether there is goods, the first time the goods sent to notify me 650) this.width=650; "src=" Http://img.baidu.com/hi/jx2/j_0061.gif "alt=" J _0061.gif "/>, there are similar online subscription services, leaving an email address can also receive relevant reminders, there are chrom or Firefox plug-ins can be in the browser to monitor the timing, the first time the goods issued a window notification or play a warning sound.

Most of the principles of such services use the same principle, that is, to send a GET request, get the Apple server response JSON string, determine the value inside, such as the isbuyable:true/ False. There are a lot of methods to get, such as the PHP I wrote this time, running on the server side, also can be written in JavaScript, in the browser timed to run, also can be made browser plug-in, receive the return information from the server and the corresponding response to the relevant trigger reminders.

As to how to get or how to know the apple server get URL, the development experience of children's shoes must have used Firefox firebug, open http://store.apple.com/hk-zh/buy-iphone/iphone6/ After buying the webpage, open Firebug, then follow the normal purchase process, such as "iphone 6 Plus", "Gold" and "64GB", note that these options are selected, in the Firebug network module can see the browser issued "http:/ /store.apple.com/hk-zh/buyflowselectionsummary/iphone6p?node=home/shop_iphone/family/iphone6&step=select &option.dimensionScreensize=5_5inch&option.dimensionColor=gold&option.dimensionCapacity=128gb& Option.carriermodel=unlocked%2fww&carrierpolicytype=unlocked "Such a request, and then open the response information for the request, the content is very long, basically as follows:

{"Head": {"status": "$", "data":{}},  "body": {"content": {"Pageurl": "5.5-inch screen -128gb-gold-Unlocked",  "selected": {"Productimage": "\n\ N</span>\n ",                     "Shippingprice": "\n<span class=\" freeshipping promo-text\ "> Free delivery </ Span> ",                     "Shippinglead": "\ n <b>:</b><br/>\n<span class=\" Customer_ Commit_display\ "> Temporary </span>\n\n",                     "Price": "\n<span class=\" current_price\ ">\n <span itemscope=\ "itemscope\"  itemprop=\ "offers\"  itemtype=\ "Http://schema.org/offer\" >\n \n<meta itemprop=\ "pricecurrency\"  content=\ "hkd\"/>\n<span itemprop=\ "price\" >\nHK $8,088\n</span>\n</sPan>\n</span>\n\n\n ",                     "isbuyable":false},  "PartNumber": "mgaf2zp/a"},  "pagetitle": " iphone 6 plus 128gb  Gold   Unlocked  - Apple Store  (Hong Kong) "}}}

The returned JSON contains the parameters of the isbuyable, an estimate that Apple is using this response to determine whether there is inventory and to control the operation of the page.

Knowing this principle, you can write the script, mainly using the Curl API to send the request, the returned JSON converted to an array, and determine the value of the field, false to no goods, true for the goods, the code has been completed, excerpt as follows:

As to whether the monitoring is accurate, to be verified, only wait for Apple to have good news, hope that the delay will not exceed 10 minutes (if the mail can be sent successfully).
