Why This Exists

Regular curl has a distinct TLS fingerprint. Anti-bot systems detect it instantly.

curl-impersonate uses a patched libcurl that produces the exact same TLS ClientHello as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. Your requests become indistinguishable from a real browser.

This library wraps it in a clean PHP API — no shell scripting required.

Install curl-impersonate binary
