Search Results for "file library"

This library provides kind of a framework and a lot of ready-to-use, so-called steps, that you can use as building blocks, to build your own crawlers and scrapers with. Before diving into the library, let's have a look at the terms crawling and scraping. For most real-world use cases, those two things go hand in hand, which is why this library helps with and combines both.

Goutte is a screen scraping and web crawling library for PHP. Goutte provides a nice API to crawl websites and extract data from the HTML/XML responses. Goutte depends on PHP 7.1+. Add fabpot/goutte as a require dependency in your composer.json file. Create a Goutte Client instance (which extends Symfony\Component\BrowserKit\HttpBrowser). Make requests with the request() method. The method returns a Crawler object (Symfony\Component\DomCrawler\Crawler).
