@jag1Aug 18.2015 — RSS feed?

@NogDogAug 18.2015 — It's certainly possible, with a bunch of variables.

  • 1. Is it legal? (Is the content copyrighted -- implicitly or explicitly -- and to you have permission to use it?)

  • 2. Does the site already provide some means to gather the data of interest (e.g. the above-mentioned RSS feed, some sort of API, whatever)?


    • If both 1 and 2 are "yes", then you leverage whatever the site already provides (their API, or any of the assorted RSS reader packages out there that already exist for PHP).

    If 1 is "yes" but 2 is "no", then you're likely stuck with screen-scraping: making cURL requests to the pages of interest, and using DOMDocument to parse the content and extract the data of interest.

    @A-CUBEauthorAug 19.2015 — Thanks Nogdog for your answer. I guess I have to find out if they provide point 1 and point 2 .
