Script to check automatically thieves with copyscape
Hello Folks,
I have released two scripts written in php to check content thieves automatically. They're very similar: the first is intended to be run on a shell, the second on a webserver.
To run them, you need a copyscape Premium account: each search costs $0.05; after signup they give you a API KEY to access remotely their service.
You also need to put the list of URLs in a file (one per line), and specify the filename in the configuration part of the script.
Check the FAQ on the script for additional details.
Before running the script against tons of URLs, I suggest to try with a few pages (maybe duplicate pages to check if it works). If you get an empty result set, it means no one has already copied you ;)
1) Select all the code and save it into a file called copyscape-shell.php
Use this from command line:
Code:
php copyscape-shell.php
The results will be saved in a file (default is copyscape-results.html): you can open it in a browser and see who copied you.
PHP Code:
<?php
/*
@VERSION: beta 0.1
@AUTHOR: casino2k.com
This version is intended for use in a shell, but may also be used in a webserver. The results will be saved in the file you specify in the configuration in html format.
WARNING, THIS CODE IS PROVIDED "AS IS"

Please EDIT the first part of the script!!!!
To use this, you need a copyscape Premium Account.
------ FAQ --------
Q: can I redistribute this script ?
A: you shouldn't yet, it's not complete and only for personal use
Q: how do I get my API key ?

Q: why not using copysentry which automatically monitors my web pages?!?
A: because it's more expensive, and maybe you don't need to check every week...
Q: how do I create a list of files to check?
A: go to xml-sitemaps.com , enter the FULL url of your website, Download Sitemap in Text Format (usually called urllist.txt)

fwrite($out, "</body></html>");
fclose($fh);
fclose($out);

2) Alternatively, use this in your webserver.
Copy the php code in a file called copyscape-webserver.php, upload it (and the file containing the URLs), access the php file with your browser. The output will be printed in your browser in html format, you can save it if you want
If you get this warning:
Code:
"URL file-access is disabled...."
you must edit php.ini and set
Code:
allow_url_fopen = on
After using the script, set allow_url_fopen back to the original value (for security purposes)!
PHP Code:
<?php
/*
@VERSION: beta 0.1
@AUTHOR: casino2k.com
NOTE:
this version is intended for use on a webserver; upload this file and the file containing the URLs to be checked in the same directory.
!!!! WARNING: to use this script on a webserver you must edit your php.ini and set:
allow_url_fopen = on
!!!! Be careful, these settings could lead to remote file inclusion vulnerabilities, disable them (set back to off) after using the script!!!!
