Save JSON outputted from a URL to a file
This is easy in any language, but the mechanism varies. With wget and a shell:
wget 'http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=hi' -O hi.jsonTo append:
wget 'http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=hi' -O - >> hi.jsonWith Python:
urllib.urlretrieve('http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=hi', 'hi.json')To append:
hi_web = urllib2.urlopen('http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=hi');with open('hi.json', 'ab') as hi_file: hi_file.write(hi_web.read())
In PHP:
$outfile= 'result.json';$url='http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=hi';$json = file_get_contents($url);if($json) { if(file_put_contents($outfile, $json, FILE_APPEND)) { echo "Saved JSON fetched from “{$url}” as “{$outfile}”."; } else { echo "Unable to save JSON to “{$outfile}”."; }}else { echo "Unable to fetch JSON from “{$url}”.";}
