PHP Matka API — cron + cURL with Bearer key | Satta Matka API

cURL with Bearer

Save as fetch-board.php and run php fetch-board.php.

<?php
$ch = curl_init('https://sattamatkaapi.live/api/results/board');
curl_setopt_array($ch, [
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
        'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
        'Accept: application/json',
    ],
]);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
if ($response === false) {
    fwrite(STDERR, curl_error($ch) . PHP_EOL);
    curl_close($ch);
    exit(1);
}
curl_close($ch);

$board = json_decode($response, true);
foreach ($board['data'] ?? [] as $row) {
    echo $row['market'] . ' '
        . ($row['openPana'] ?? '***') . '-'
        . ($row['jodi'] ?? '**') . '-'
        . ($row['closePana'] ?? '***')
        . PHP_EOL;
}

Cron every 30 seconds

crontab cannot fire twice in one minute with a single line. Use two lines, or a small loop.

# crontab -e  (runs fetch-board.php twice a minute)
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/fetch-board.php
* * * * * sleep 30; /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/fetch-board.php

<?php
// Optional long-running loop instead of two crontab lines
while (true) {
    passthru('php /var/www/html/fetch-board.php');
    sleep(30);
}

Laravel HTTP client

Store the key as SM_API_KEY in .env. Same header, same JSON.

<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

$board = Http::withToken(env('SM_API_KEY'))
    ->acceptJson()
    ->get('https://sattamatkaapi.live/api/results/board')
    ->throw()
    ->json();

foreach ($board['data'] ?? [] as $row) {
    // $row['openPana'], $row['jodi'], $row['closePana'], $row['status']
}

Frequently asked questions

Where does the PHP key go?

In the Authorization header as Bearer YOUR_API_KEY, or as X-API-Key. Do not put new sm_ keys in the URL as ?key=.

How often should cron hit the board?

Every 30 seconds is enough for a live board. The JSON already skips leftover completes, so you do not need to scrape HTML.
