atticus Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of a PHP script to grab Google search results. I actually only need one part. The total number of results for that search. So I want my script to go out to Google, do the search and scrape the total results number. The Google API script is not really what I am looking for. I am not sure where to get started with this. Any ideas on scripts or what I would need to start to write some code to do it. I have never written a scraper, so I do not know where to begin. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 The Google API script is not really what I am looking for. I'm sure there's an easy Google API call to retrieve this information. But since you don't want to go that path then you would have to probably use cURL and grab the total number of results with regex. There are plenty of examples on this forum and Google, use them as a template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
