PROGRAMMING QUESTION... HOW CAN I SCRAP A WEBSITE FOR INFO - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support


please @ site...

http://www.monex.com/liveprices

how can pull info site, such gold bullion "last price" , save server?

it doesn't seem hard, since visible in page source...

first, you'll need host doesn't block outgoing calls. allow 1 or two, not multiple calls.

second, you'll use php command http_get($target, "");

third, you'll use php (or perl, or python, etc.) parse page data , extract info need.

this not kind of thing non-programmer going sit down , code, , not programmers out there sitting around nothing write free scraper apps people.

so, buy programming book , learn or hire developer. , you're still dependent on host.
