Goutte, a simple PHP Web Scraper
================================
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.
Requirements
------------
Goutte depends on PHP 7.1+.
Installation
------------
Add ``fabpot/goutte`` as a require dependency in your ``composer.json`` file:
.. code-block:: bash
composer require fabpot/goutte
Usage
-----
Create a Goutte Client instance (which extends
``Symfony\Component\BrowserKit\HttpBrowser``):
.. code-block:: php
use Goutte\Client;
$client = new Client();
Make requests with the ``request()`` method:
.. code-block:: php
// Go to the symfony.com website
$crawler = $client->request('GET', 'https://www.symfony.com/blog/');
The method returns a ``Crawler`` object
(``Symfony\Component\DomCrawler\Crawler``).
To use your own HTTP settings, you may create and pass an HttpClient
instance to Goutte. For example, to add a 60 second request timeout:
.. code-block:: php
use Goutte\Client;
use Symfony\Component\HttpClient\HttpClient;
$client = new Client(HttpClient::create(['timeout' => 60]));
Click on links:
.. code-block:: php
// Click on the "Security Advisories" link
$link = $crawler->selectLink('Security Advisories')->link();
$crawler = $client->click($link);
Extract data:
.. code-block:: php
// Get the latest post in this category and display the titles
$crawler->filter('h2 > a')->each(function ($node) {
print $node->text()."\n";
});
Submit forms:
.. code-block:: php
$crawler = $client->request('GET', 'https://github.com/');
$crawler = $client->click($crawler->selectLink('Sign in')->link());
$form = $crawler->selectButton('Sign in')->form();
$crawler = $client->submit($form, ['login' => 'fabpot', 'password' => 'xxxxxx']);
$crawler->filter('.flash-error')->each(function ($node) {
print $node->text()."\n";
});
More Information
----------------
Read the documentation of the `BrowserKit`_, `DomCrawler`_, and `HttpClient`_
Symfony Components for more information about what you can do with Goutte.
Pronunciation
-------------
Goutte is pronounced ``goot`` i.e. it rhymes with ``boot`` and not ``out``.
Technical Information
---------------------
Goutte is a thin wrapper around the following Symfony Components:
`BrowserKit`_, `CssSelector`_, `DomCrawler`_, and `HttpClient`_.
