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

[](#goutte-a-simple-php-web-scraper)

Laravel-Goutte is a laravel service container wrapper for FriendsOfPHP Goutte Package which 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 depends on PHP 7.1+ and Guzzle 6+.

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

[](#installation)

Add `mrkatz/laravel-goutte` as a require dependency in your `composer.json` file:

.. code-block:: bash

```
composer require mrkatz/laravel-goutte

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

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

.. 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 = Goutte::request('GET', 'https://www.symfony.com/blog/');

```

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

To use your own Guzzle settings, you may create and pass a new Guzzle 6 instance to Goutte. For example, to add a 60 second request timeout:

.. code-block:: php

```
use Goutte\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\Client as GuzzleClient;

$goutteClient = new Client();
$guzzleClient = new GuzzleClient(array(
    'timeout' => 60,
));
$goutteClient->setClient($guzzleClient);

```

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, 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.

Pronunciation
-------------

[](#pronunciation)

Goutte is pronounced `goot` i.e. it rhymes with `boot` and not `out`.
