I read on a seperate post that the InfinityFree hosting disableds the PHP cURL on Social Media, due to abuse, but I need to know if there is anyway round this as I need it for a core application on my site. (Site cannot work without it). Any answers to this question would be great, thanks. ---

cURL is not supported at all on free hosting for anyone. If you desperately need cURL, consider upgrading to premium. ---

cURL is supported on free hosting, but we’ve blocked access to it to prevent abuse. And since we did this on purpose, any easy workarounds will have been plugged as well. If your site cannot work with this API access, then maybe our hosting isn’t suitable for your site. ---
