I was trying to automate logging into MySpace with PHP and cURL, and I had some problems. For some reason, it kept kicking me back to the homepage rather than the logged in page… and finally I figured out why. I’ll post the code up here for anyone else who has a similar issue.
Basically, to automate the MySpace login system, you need these steps:
- First setup your cURL session with a cookie file and a cookie jar. They’re obviously required. You will also NEED to specify a user agent… that’s what got me. MySpace checks your user-agent, and if it doesn’t match a known one, they abort your login process.
// setup and configure
$ch = curl_init();
$randnum = rand(1,9999999);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "/tmp/cookiejar-$randnum");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "/tmp/cookiejar-$randnum");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
- Visit the myspace.com homepage, and scrape the security token, which is made into the URL where the login form submits (the form action):
// get homepage for login page token
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.myspace.com");
$page = curl_exec($ch);
//
// find it....
//
preg_match("/MyToken=([^"]+)"/",$page,$token);
$token = $token[1];
- Next actually post your information and submit the login form. You must forge the referer as myspace.com, and you must specify the content type in the HTTP header as “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”. Notice my last appending line on $poststring is a bunch of semi-encoded values… that is the rest of the form MySpace sends with your login. It’s a required line for their internals, don’t omit it.
// do login
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://login.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=login.process&MyToken={$token}");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.myspace.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$postfields = "email=" . urlencode($YOUR_EMAIL);
$postfields .= "&password=" . urlencode($YOUR_PASSWORD);
$postfields .= '&ctl00%24Main%24SplashDisplay%24login%24loginbutton.x=38&ctl00%24Main%24SplashDisplay%24login%24loginbutton.y=15';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$postfields);
$page = curl_exec($ch);
- The next page you’ll hit is a 302 redirect to the internal login page. This might be handled automatically, but I’m going to scrape the redirect url and pass it manually, as a precaution.
// find redirect url
preg_match("/replace\("([^"]+)"/",$page,$redirpage);
$redirpage = $redirpage[1];
//
// do the redirect
//
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER,"http://login.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=login.process&MyToken={$token}");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$redirpage);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
$page = curl_exec($ch);
- Now you should be at the logged in page. I run a quick check that it didn’t bounce us back to the login page for an invalid username or password before proceeding:
// check login error
if(strpos($page,"You Must Be Logged-In to do That!") !== false){
// login error
return 2;
}
Congratulations, you’re now logged into MySpace. I fought with this for a while because I didn’t know they check the user-agent (most sites don’t care), and I was getting really strange results when trying to log in.
From this point, you can do whatever you want, such as send messages, post bulletins, modify your profile, etc. For requesting the modify-your-profile page, here’s the code:
// find edit profile link (with token attached)
preg_match("/ id="ctl00_Main_ctl00_Welcome1_EditMyProfileHyperLink" href="([^"]+)"/",$page,$redirpage);
$redirpage = $redirpage[1];
//
// go there (edit profile)
//
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $redirpage);
$page = curl_exec($ch);
Simple!
And before you finish, don’t forget to clean up by closing curl and deleting the cookie file you made:
// clean up
curl_close($ch);
@unlink("/tmp/cookiejar-$randnum");
I’d recommend getting the Live HTTP Headers Firefox Add-on if you don’t have it already, as it makes debugging these processes much easier.
Here’s the entire source code uncut:
$ch = curl_init();
//
// setup and configure
//
$randnum = rand(1,9999999);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "/tmp/cookiejar-$randnum");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "/tmp/cookiejar-$randnum");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
//
// get homepage for login page token
//
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.myspace.com");
$page = curl_exec($ch);
//
// find it....
//
preg_match("/MyToken=([^"]+)"/",$page,$token);
$token = $token[1];
//
// do login
//
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://login.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=login.process&MyToken={$token}");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.myspace.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$postfields = "email=" . urlencode($YOUR_EMAIL);
$postfields .= "&password=" . urlencode($YOUR_PASSWORD);
$postfields .= '&ctl00%24Main%24SplashDisplay%24login%24loginbutton.x=38&ctl00%24Main%24SplashDisplay%24login%24loginbutton.y=15';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$postfields);
$page = curl_exec($ch);
//
// find redirect url
//
preg_match("/replace\("([^"]+)"/",$page,$redirpage);
$redirpage = $redirpage[1];
// do the redirect
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER,"http://login.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=login.process&MyToken={$token}");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$redirpage);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
$page = curl_exec($ch);
//
// check login error
//
if(strpos($page,"You Must Be Logged-In to do That!") !== false){
// login error
return 2;
}
//
// LOGGED IN, now let's play
//
// find edit profile link (with token attached)
//
preg_match("/ id="ctl00_Main_ctl00_Welcome1_EditMyProfileHyperLink" href="([^"]+)"/",$page,$redirpage);
$redirpage = $redirpage[1];
//
// go there (edit profile)
//
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $redirpage);
$page = curl_exec($ch);
//
echo $page; // do whatever you need to do
//
// clean up
//
curl_close($ch);
@unlink("/tmp/cookiejar-$randnum");

It looks nice. I created an account on myspace.com to test your script. When I copied entire source code and replace strings with my email and password only, this script didn’t work – I saw white blank page.
I add “echo” line like below to test if anything is available.
$page = curl_exec($ch);
echo $page;
//
// find redirect url
//
And I saw myspace.com site I was logged in.
1. Could you tell us what version of curl and openssl does it work for ?
2. And what this line means ? Where is “replace string” ?
preg_match(“/replace\(“([^"]+)”/”,$page,$redirpage);
February 18th, 2007 at 8:44 pm
Bart,
This was done with php5-curl-5.2.0_1 and php5-openssl-5.2.0.
If you can echo the page and it shows you logged in, then the script worked as expected.
What are you trying to do? With a little more information on your situation, I’ll try to be more helpful.
Regards,
- Harry

I received “adcount4″ as
preg_match(“/replace\(“([^"]+)”/”,$page,$redirpage);
$redirpage = $redirpage[1];
echo $redirpage;

Hum, posting to the login page itself seems to be having issues.
MySpace must have changed something. I’m heading out right now, but later on I’ll try looking into it.
February 19th, 2007 at 4:13 pm
I managed to implement desired script
Thanks to you, for publishing your source code.
February 19th, 2007 at 5:22 pm
Sure thing bart, I’m glad you got everything worked out.
February 21st, 2007 at 4:59 am
Is this script is still working or they have changed something? Does not work in my case. Just get a blank screen.
February 25th, 2007 at 2:22 am
Hi Guys,
This is the best script for logging into myspace that I have found, but its broken now. Myspace definitely changed something. When I echo the contents of $page, i get the YOU MUST BE LOGGED IN TO DO THAT screen.
All I want to do, is log into myspace, and post some html into the music section. I can’t seem to figure this out.
March 4th, 2007 at 5:40 pm
I’m using php 4 with curl. and i’m echo $page after every call. it’s going to the page and logging into myspace with no issues. the error seems to be what’s done after login.
March 4th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
ok i got it working heres the issues :
1. when checking for redirect – at that point you are logged.
2. token changes when you login. so you need to grab the new token
3. the redirect url isn’t correct : “http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user&MyToken=$token”
4. referer should be : “http://login.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=login.process&MyToken=$token” using the new token
5. heres the only changes i made that matter.
$old_token=$token;
$token=NULL;
// find redirect url
preg_match(“/fuseaction=user&Mytoken=(.*)”/”,$page,$token);
print_r($token);
$token = $token[1];
$redirpage=”http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user&MyToken=$token”;
//
// do the redirect
//
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER,”http://login.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=login.process&MyToken=$token”);
—end fix
Also again thank you so much for this tutorial, this is awesome. You’ve seriously saved me alot of time.
hope this helps, sid

http://elsid.net/2007/myspace.php – putting it to use
March 8th, 2007 at 2:04 am
Okay, thanks to Gred and Harry I got it working, at least to login. MySpace is doing something very strange though when it comes to friend requests.
I wrote some additional code that follows the login, that basically:
1. Goes to a friend page using a friend ID and curl
2. Picks up the token and goes to the ‘Cofirm Add Friend Page’
3. On the Confirm Add Friend Page there is a button to press. I used cURL to submit the form using this button and it’s associated token, along with using the correct referrer token that was picked up on the basic friend page.
Now the funny thing is, it completes the task correctly, in that the final echo of the curl echos the page that says :
“An email has been sent to the user for your request to add this user.
Return to View Profile”
So it looks like it did it right? Wrong. Even though it gets through this whole procedure when you go to look at your pending friend invites, the person you invited is not listed as pending.
So even though MySpace shows you what you want to see, it doesn’t actually DO the friend invite request. I noticed on that final button press to add the friend if you look at the page code, the button has the following onclick code on it “window.history.back()”. So what does that do exactly? Like it submits the form and then goes backwards to do something else or vice versa?
Is this some secret trick or extra step without which friends can’t be added, even though it will tell you it sent the email??
Anyone got any ideas on this I’m all ears…
March 9th, 2007 at 11:04 pm
where do i put the code ? so i can get into myspace
March 10th, 2007 at 12:30 am
hey harry,im have some major problems with myspace, so i wanted to know if you can help me.
As of today I am totally over myspace!!
I AM VERY IRITATED!!!!! here’s my problem,
I really *crosses fingers* hope you can give me some real solutions to this problem.anway heres my mini drama story:
Yesterday I changed my old email address for my myspace.
I received the conformation email,ect ect…
Futhermore, I tried to login to myspace and it didn’t let me. then after the third attempt it said the following:
“Too many failed login attempts for this email. Please enter verification code.” I did the procedures but I am confused as to what the next step is. so no help there.
S0 then I tried contacting “myspace customer service”
OMG!! WHAT A JOKE!! I emailed them with the same complaint
8 times!!! and I still havent recived any replies, its been a week !!!!
I also tried to find my email address but it said:”
Sorry we weren’t able to find ______________.com ” on MySpace.com,
which made me even more upset ,because I had just finished changing my email address.
All of my information is correct I dont understand why it keeps doing this! can someone help me fix this?!
oh I was also wondering if there was anyway to resend the email conformation link to my old email, so I can possibly start over.
PLEASE SOMEONE/ANYONE HELP A GIRL OUT
thankyou very much
March 12th, 2007 at 10:40 am
Hey yeah. I didn’t use this thing, I’m just in school right now and don’t want to do what I am suppose to do so I’m commenting this thingy. Well, it looks pretty cool. I have no idea what you guys are talking about but okay. I’m going to pretend I do and agree. so yea. Umm I don’t know.
March 18th, 2007 at 10:46 pm
Harry,
Excellent piece of work. Have you done any other curl scripts like to access Yahoo or ebay or Wellsfargo or Bank of America or anything else. I think your work has real potential.

April 4th, 2007 at 2:05 am
hi,
sorry but i would just like to ask if theres anyone who can help, i am an ojt in a company right now and i have been assigned to do a scraping program that scrapes all the friends of a myspace user. i have already written a scraping program in PERL using MECHANIZE::SHELL and its working fine.
the problem is i havent been able to scrape anything past page 1 of the friends list. the link to the other pages are all in javascript and each page of the myspace friends list has the same URL so the only way is to click the page link which MECHANIZE::SHELL is not able to.
what i would like to ask is curl able to do this particular task?
thank you to anyone who can help and sorry for the trouble.
April 5th, 2007 at 6:19 pm
first – if your having issues grabbing the token its because myspace likes to play with cases add an i to the end of your regex and you’ll be good.
second harry sorry if i’m jacking your topic please delete this post if i am doing so.
that said : Hi guys, once again thanx so much to harry for giving us the ground work
I’ve updated ver. 1 of my class (sorry didn’t post it here). it’s now at 2.2 and will be released shortly. i’m just waiting on the name of my co author so i can update the credits
right now it has myspace login, bloging, and image functions, and a lot more.
I rewrote the whole thing to be oop
temp project page : http://elsid.net/2007/myspace/
I’m trying to find some people who’d like to help on development of this.
once again thanx to harry. your walk through was the start of all this. you opened my eyes
right now i’m working on next version, features slated are profile editing, blog edit, comments and mail checking, possible spidering, and maybe open access to hi5 also.
email me poetics5 [at] yahoo if you’d like to help with dev.
please contact about dev if your serious, i’m hoping to have this to ver 3 within 30 days so any help would be great.
any feature requests should go to same addy.
April 9th, 2007 at 1:43 am
Thanks a lot for your tutorial. It helped a lot with what I was trying to do, I’ll give you credit once the page I was working on is online. Thanks a bunch and happy coding!

Hi Harry,
I have also implemented a php solution to login and post on myspace which works fine.
However, I’ve been trying to implement a myspace commnet on friend’s profile page functionality which refuses to work.
The scenario for adding a comment is:
1. Login to myspace (works)
2. Fetch friend’s profile page and retrieve add comment link + token etc (works)
3. Fetch the add comment page and post to the form’s url with all data submitted by browser (works)
4. Confirm submit page – fetch the form’s url and emulate all data submitted by browser FAILS! – I get a and a “Sorry! an unexpected error has occurred” message
I have gone over all the request headers, including referer, accept, etc and to no avail. It posts all the data same as browser but doesn’t work.
I can’t figure out how can myspace servers tell the difference but they do.
If possible I would like to consult with you or perhaps outsource this project to you.
Thanks
Jonathan

ok well i’ve updated the class. http://elsid.net/2007/04/27/myspace-access-class-ver-24/
as far as what it does here ya go:
blog posting
commenting
friendslist navigation
navigate myspace
provides a base framework to allow your own custom myspace functions
music player extraction
ability to extraction info with friend id / user url
error support
tokens are extracted automatically
maintains navigation and page history
probably more, but i’m more concerned with the features being worked on now – which are:
bulletins
profile editing
blog editing
friend requesting
hope that answers your questions – sid

Anyone got any ideas on this ???
Thanks.
June 19th, 2007 at 1:32 pm
Indeed, MySpace slighly changed the html code the friends page. This change makes it impossible to retrieve user info and therefore to post comments.
Here’s the correction.
In the populateFriendList method, the regex matching links to friends should now be wrtitten as follows:
/viewprofile&friendid=(.*)”>(.*)\s+(\s+)/i
Here, the onerror has been added, along with some line breaks. The fix must be applied both on the test (if(preg_match(“…”)) and the preg_match_all that allows to get the needed info.

Hii,
I am looking for myspace login script using friend id. Will you please tell me how to get information about this, basically i need to create clone site of http://www.ssfriendship.com that allows myspace user to login using their friend id. That site is getting top 10 users(by point) from myspace.com. I tried a lost but i am not getting any clue how to integrate our website with myspace so that i can do all functions that http://www.ssfriendship.com provides.
I am in trouble. Please help me ASAP.
October 17th, 2007 at 4:09 pm
Here’s a simple class that I’ve put together based on the original code. It can login and grab all the user’s friends. See the example at the end.
class myspace
{
var $myID;
var $token;
var $pageSource;
var $ch;
function myspace() {
$this->ch = curl_init();
$randnum = rand(1,9999999);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $this->dir_path.”/tmp/cookiejar-$randnum”);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $this->dir_path.”/tmp/cookiejar-$randnum”);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,
“Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) “.
“Gecko/20071204 Firefox/2.0.0.3″);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
}
function newLocation($loc) {
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_URL, $loc.$this->token);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,
“Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) “.
“Gecko/20071204 Firefox/2.0.0.3″);
$this->pageSource = curl_exec($this->ch);
}
function login($email, $password) {
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_URL, “http://www.myspace.com”);
$page = curl_exec($this->ch);
preg_match(“/;MyToken=([^"]+)”/”,$page,$token);
$token = $token[1];
// Do login

$token = $token[1];
$redirpage=”http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user&MyToken=$token”;
// Do the redirect
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_REFERER,

curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_URL,$redirpage);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
$page = curl_exec($this->ch);
// Check login error
if(strpos($page,”You Must Be Logged-In to do That!”) !== false){
echo “Error: ” . $this->error_msg;
exit;
}
// Logged in successfully
else {
// echo “Logged in successfully”;
$this->newLocation(“http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user&Mytoken=”.
$token);
// echo $this->pageSource;
// Find the user’s ID (becomes useful later)
preg_match(“/”UserId”:(.*),”DisplayFriendId”/”, $this->pageSource, $id);
$this->myID = $id[1];
$this->token = “&MyToken=”.$token;
}
}
function grabFriends() {
$ms_f_url = “http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?”.
“fuseaction=user.editfriends&friendID={$this->myID}”;
$this->newLocation($ms_f_url);
// First get the number of friend pages the user has, so we can loop through all of
// them and grab all friends
preg_match_all(“|(.*)|”,
$this->pageSource, $pages);
$num_pages = 1;
if($pages[2][0]) $num_pages = $pages[2][count($pages[2])-2];
for($i = 0; $i myID}&page={$i}”;
$this->newLocation($ms_f_url);
// We’re at the “Edit Friends” page, now grab each friend’s ID ([1]) and Name ([2])
preg_match_all(“|&friendID=(.*)”>(.*)|”,
$this->pageSource, $friendIDName);
print_r($friendIDName[1]);
print_r($friendIDName[2]);
// Grab each friend’s image URL ([1])
preg_match_all(“|pageSource, $images);
print_r($images[1]);
}
}
}

Using it:
$test = new myspace;
$test->login(“[YOUR LOGIN]“, “[YOUR PASSWORD]“);
$test->grabFriends();

Well.. that didn’t work. Seems this site takes out some necessary pieces of code and I’m not sure how to work around this to post all the code in its entirety, especially with proper formatting. Click on my name to go to my website to get my e-mail if you want to e-mail me for the code.
November 6th, 2007 at 3:57 pm
This account has been locked out for 15 minutes due to excessive failed login attempts. Please try again what do i do if it keep saying that?
November 12th, 2007 at 12:04 am
This seems like a great script, but its not showing anything when I try and run it. All I want to do is change the contents of the “about me” section on a daily basis using PHP and cron job processing. I can probably figure out my piece of it, but is there any chance someone could post an updated, working version?
P.s. you guys rock

I have the same problem. I can’t login into myspace even though I have put in the right username and password and it says “too many failed login attempts”. I’m really lost here with all these codes. Can you help me?

Searching for a solution where you can remotely update your css or layout in myspace. Will need to login using cUrl, but after that, can’t find anything pointing me in a direction where I can change the layout/css.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
February 22nd, 2009 at 2:48 am
Thanks a lot….Trying the same with twitter but the login token had me puzzled. Could see it being passed through headers but didn’t know where it was coming from…I see it on the page source so now I know I need to scrape it…thanks
April 4th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Please take out the god damn unicode quotes this code is shit.
April 15th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
I don’t believe this code is accurate anymore, Myspace might have changed their security. Is it possible to update the code? I’ve tooled around with it for awhile, but to no avail.
Also, to the previous poster: Grow up
April 18th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
I was wondering if it was possible to update this code. I keep trying to get it to work but I haven’t had any luck. Thanks.

яб с удовольствием перевела владельцу 5 рублей. А вы?

Nice Review, but i dont understand one thing why johnchow use google adsense to publish his ads, as he is very famous. I have seen his ads many time in my blog also…
October 25th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
Rory- Thanks! I appreciate comments like that.
Jose- I’ve actually tried Amazon once or twice, but found I could make much more money with something like Adsense or YPN. Maybe it was my niche, but Amazon just didn’t pay very well for me. How is it working for you?

hard to believe that these employee evaluation quotes were really written on a Federal Government form. Such personal attacks on an employee could be construed as a form of harassment.
November 5th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
I got the script to login to myspace, but I am trying to update my status(like on twitter)
and cant for the life of my figure it out. I have googled it to death and read a lot of the posts on this site and still cant figure it out. Can this even be done? If so can someone through me a bone or point me in the right direction. Thanks

Hello. Awesome tutorial!
Can I use CURL to get user’s details? I want to get my details from myspace, save them on an .xml file and then import it on a .swf file. I can’t get them with PHP. Can you tell me a possible solution?
Thank you very much for this tutorial.
February 22nd, 2010 at 4:28 pm
Nerdly (or anyone else with the solution), could you please share with us how you accomplished this? This is exactly what I am looking to do with one of my current sites.
Thanks!
May 16th, 2010 at 5:29 am
Thank you so much! I checked out the other two tutorials you’ve put up linked from digg and found them helpful, but this sealed it for me. Your site is now in my daily routine of places to check! Keep up the good work.
