Goutte, a simple PHP Web Scraper
================================

[](#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
------------

[](#requirements)

Goutte works with PHP 5.3.3 or later.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Installing Goutte is as easy as it can get. Download the [Goutte.phar](http://get.sensiolabs.org/goutte.phar) file and you're done!

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Require the Goutte phar file to use Goutte in a script:

```
require_once '/path/to/goutte.phar';
```

Create a Goutte Client instance (which extends `Symfony\Component\BrowserKit\Client`):

```
use Goutte\Client;

$client = new Client();
```

Make requests with the `request()` method:

```
// Go to the symfony.com website
$crawler = $client->request('GET', 'http://www.symfony.com/blog/');
```

The method returns a `Crawler` object (`Symfony\Component\DomCrawler\Crawler`).

Click on links:

```
// Click on the "Security Advisories" link
$link = $crawler->selectLink('Security Advisories')->link();
$crawler = $client->click($link);
```

Extract data:

```
// Get the latest post in this category and display the titles
$crawler->filter('h2.post > a')->each(function ($node) {
    print $node->text()."\n";
});
```

Submit forms:

```
$crawler = $client->request('GET', 'http://github.com/');
$crawler = $client->click($crawler->selectLink('Sign in')->link());
$form = $crawler->selectButton('Sign in')->form();
$crawler = $client->submit($form, array('login' => 'fabpot', 'password' => 'xxxxxx'));
$crawler->filter('.flash-error')->each(function ($node) {
    print $node->text()."\n";
});
```

More Information
----------------

[](#more-information)

Read the documentation of the BrowserKit and DomCrawler Symfony Components for more information about what you can do with Goutte.

Technical Information
---------------------

[](#technical-information)

- Symfony Components: BrowserKit, ClassLoader, CssSelector, DomCrawler, Finder, and Process;
- [Guzzle](http://docs.guzzlephp.org) HTTP Component.
