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`](https://raw.github.com/fabpot/Goutte/master/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:

```
$crawler = $client->request('GET', 'http://www.symfony-project.org/');

```

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

Click on links:

```
$link = $crawler->selectLink('Plugins')->link();
$crawler = $client->click($link);

```

Submit forms:

```
$form = $crawler->selectButton('sign in')->form();
$crawler = $client->submit($form, array('signin[username]' => 'fabien', 'signin[password]' => 'xxxxxx'));

```

Extract data:

```
$nodes = $crawler->filter('.error_list');
if ($nodes->count())
{
  die(sprintf("Authentication error: %s\n", $nodes->text()));
}

printf("Nb tasks: %d\n", $crawler->filter('#nb_tasks')->text());

```

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)

Goutte is a thin wrapper around the following fine PHP libraries:

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

License
