```
//Get Nodes
return $fetcher->getNodes();

```

People who want to fetch results from the nodes can use the Fetcher->getRootUrl() method to get the Root Url. You can take a look at the code to see how the nodes can be used to fetch their corresponding web pages, in this case, school results pages

As stated above, if you want to use the package as a standalone, then you can just download the code, run ` composer install ` then check the 'App.php' file for some directions on how to fetch data. Try to uncomment the sections inside the file, then run `php index.php`. You can try to run `php index.php > filename` to save the echoed data into a file.
