README

A Laravel package to scrape webpages using ScrapingBee and/or ScraperApi.

Examples

• Scrape an URL:

$response = Scraper::get('https://www.nu.nl');

• Scrape an image:

$response = Scraper::image('https://via.placeholder.it/250x250.png');

• Use a specific scraper:

$response = Scraper::provider('scraperapi')->get('https://www.nu.nl');

• Use premium proxies:

$response = Scraper::premium()->get('https://www.nu.nl');

• When writing a test that triggers the scraper, you probably do not want to use ScraperAPI or ScrapingBee. In that case, include the test method in your test:

...
Scraper::test();
...

Installation

Require this package with composer.

composer require eelcol/laravel-scrapers

Add to your env:

SCRAPER_PROVIDER=see below
SCRAPER_MAX_CONCURRENCY=5
SCRAPERAPI_KEY=
SCRAPINGBEE_KEY=

When using a different proxy, add the following variables to your .env:

SCRAPER_PROXY_HOST=
SCRAPER_PROXY_PORT=
SCRAPER_PROXY_USER=
SCRAPER_PROXY_PASS=

The following values are allowed for SCRAPER_PROVIDER

• scrapingbee
• scraperapi
• http
• proxy

Use http for normal HTTP requests, without using a scraper provider. Use proxy to use a custom defined proxy.

Run tests using Docker

Use the following command to run the tests:

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/app" -w /app php:8.2-cli bash -c "apt-get update && apt-get install -y git unzip && curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php && mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer && composer install --no-interaction && vendor/bin/phpunit"
