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.

ScrapeNinja Live Sandbox

ScrapeNinja allows you to quickly create and test your web scraper in browser: https://scrapeninja.net/scraper-sandbox

Use cases

The popular use case of ScrapeNinja is when regular Guzzle/cURL fails to get the scraped website response reliably, even with headers fully identical to real browser, and gets 403 or 5xx errors instead.

Another major use case is when you want to avoid Puppeteer setup and maintenance but you still need real Javascript rendering instead of sending raw network requests.

ScrapeNinja helps to reduce the amount of code for retrieving HTTP responses and dealing with retries, proxy handling, and timeouts.

Installation

Examples:

/examples folder of this repo contains quick ready-to-launch examples how ScrapeNinja can be used. To execute these examples in a terminal, retrieve your API key and then set it as environment variable:

Basic scrape request

Get full HTML rendered by real browser (Puppeteer) in PHP:

Extract data from raw HTML:

Response will contain PHP array with pure data:

Sending POST requests

ScrapeNinja can perform POST requests.

Sending JSON POST

Sending www-encoded POST

Retries logic

ScrapeNinja retries the request 2 times (so 3 requests in total) by default, in case of failure (target website timeout, proxy timeout, certain provider captcha request). This behaviour can be modified and disabled.

ScrapeNinja can also be instructed to retry on http response status codes and text existing in response body (useful for custom captchas)

Error handling

You should definitely wrap scrape() calls into try catch handler and log your errors. RapidAPI might get down, ScrapeNinja server might get down, target website might get down.

In all these cases, it is useful to get HTTP response of a failure.

(see examples/ folder for full error handling example)
