Scrape Load More page

[shaymiller]

I am using php to scrape pages. it seem to work well. There is one site that has Load more. But I can't scrape that

http://dramaonline.pk/hum-tv-latest-dramas-episodes/

1. Open devtools then go to Network -> XHR
2. Click the "load more" button
3. Find request made by this click (load-more-channels.php)
4. Curl it with relevant headers to get response with "load more" data
5. Enjoy

right, I do see that URL, whats next? what should I do? scrape that http://dramaonline.pk/contents/load-more-channels.php?channel=hum-tv

Check in browser url, headers and data that is being sent with this request when you press the button. Then in your program post request to the url, spoof headers, insert data to request and send request. In response you will receive html with content. Repeat this step till no load mroe button is found. I checked it and requests only differ in data. I suggest googling tutorials, you lack basic knowledge.

They dont have spesific header. Dont forget setting Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded and default headers.

POST to http://dramaonline.pk/contents/load-more-channels.php
with BODY var_post=Hum TV/Pakistan Tonight/120

Not quiet get it. not that super coder like you.


I tried this code from the net


[code/


<?php
// From URL to get webpage contents.
$url = "https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/";
// Initialize a CURL session.
$ch = curl_init();
// Return Page contents.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
//grab URL and pass it to the variable.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
echo $result;
?>

[/code]

Check this tutorial:http://subscription.packtpub.com/bo...c13/submitting-a-form-using-curl-intermediate Check POST request example.
I am not expers on PHP, but in every language you have to do the same thing so I will try to help you. You need to send POST request to this URL http://dramaonline.pk/contents/load-more-channels.php
With data Hum TV/Pakistan Tonight/30
You should receive as a response HTML document with more content. You can scrape it for Repeatmore content. Next POST request this time with /60 next with /120 next try with higher numbers to get more content.
You really lack basic knowledge. Ready about http requests. Find in google tutorial about web scraping. That one I linked seems to be decent.

Whats the response? ($result)

You definitely should set more curl options, google "how to set curl headers" and put these headers from devtools you found in xhr (I'm writing it 3rd time in this topic..)

You seem to lack fundamentals. First of all learn how to use google. Answers for all your qiestions are on first google page if you search for : "php we bscraping", "php http requests", "php POST web scarping". I found complete video tutorials on how to scrape content that you need with 1 simple google search.

Let’s face the facts, under your username, it’s labeled “ Newbie” which means your are new/baby who lack fundamentals. Even BHW says so!

I had a question so I ask. If I knew the answer to my question, why would I ask? get it? or is it too much to for your newbie brain. Not everything can be answered by google. if so, maybe you should marry google and not another person.

I use this forum to learn & teach. If you did find something on google, just share it. if you are not here to help, just exit the door!, if you need help with that I can help you exit!!!


peace out!
