FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package web-scraper

Getting started

Install

composer install agentsquidflaps/web-scraper

Requirements

Documentation

Please see below for basic usage or you can go to https://agentsquidflaps.github.io/web-scraper/#/ for more information.

Usage

Basic usage...

(new WebScraper())->setSitemaps([
    'https://www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml'
])->getData()

...this will simply output the HTML for all pages in your sitemap in a JSON format.

You can also target specific elements on a page...

(new WebScraper())->setSitemaps([
    'https://www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml'
])
->setElements([
    '.btn',
    'table'
])
->getData()

...and instead of returning the whole page, it'll return elements in a page that match the criteria of the elements provided.

Save file

You can also save the data to a file. To do so just...

(new WebScraper())->setSitemaps([
    'https://www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml'
])
->setFileLocation('somewhere.json')
->saveData()

Formats

You can also output the data in different formats. Supported formats are currently JSON, Array and CSV.

(new WebScraper())->setSitemaps([
        'https://www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml'
    ])
->setFileLocation('somewhere.csv')
->setFormat(WebScraper::FORMAT_CSV)
->saveData()

Disabling verify peer

You don't have to verify peer when grabbing URLs to scrape (although, highly recommended). This can be useful if the URLs provided in the sitemap have sketchy or non-existent SSLs.

(new WebScraper())->setSitemaps([
        'http://www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml'
    ])
->setFileLocation('somewhere.csv')
->setFormat(WebScraper::FORMAT_CSV)
->setVerifyPeerEnabled(false)
->saveData()
