I read that it may be possible with cURL, but I didn't find a way to do it.
My plan so far is to create a link on my website. If user clicks, he is shown content of the Steam page and he has to copy all of it to a form and send it. It works, but it is complicated for the user.
Is there any trick to do it? Or is it considered unsafe and "hacking"?
I tried to use file_get_contents() and also this:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://store.steampowered.com/dynamicstore/userdata/?id=STEAMID");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
