[GET] My PHP Article Scraper & Spinner

Looks like articlesbase wants to fool us they make their /find-articles.php
just accessable for localhost so we can not longer use

PHP:
articlesbase.com/find-articles.php?q=Give me Article
Try it yourself at the side it work but if you copy the url in browser
you get a Not Found ...


Does anybody has a workaround?
 
hey op could you please implement spin and scrape/reuse in same module just like the old version?

{1~2~3) spin format would be nice.

also how would I go about puting anchor link inside the article? Is their a way to find static words that will always show.(ones that I could replace with anchor link)

which one is the old version that adds in the spun tags {|} ? also any chance you can show the articles once spun for easy copy and paste (iframe would be the easiest way to do this)
 
yeah.. look great for me.. but is is passed copy scapped.?
 
Thanks for the reply. But your application has stopped working. I am using a long keyword and with just 1 sites still I am getting the same error. So can you help me out to solve this error.

It was running perfectly fine some days ago but somehow it stopped working and then its just giving errors even though if I am not using article base.


You're welcome bro. I was thinking about it too but many sites have really messy html code (buzzle for example), at this time, I am unable to process text from buzzle. Which site do you want to add? (except buzzle, helium).

Just to let you know old version still works.
 
Which is the version. I believe there was only 1 version which I had and it has stopped working since few days. So if you could upload the link it would be really great.
 
this a selfless and quality share. I was looking for a php script like this for months. literally. and here you are giving it away for free. you are the man.
 
Guys, I don't know there are reports said the code doesn't work. It works fine on my end.
For all the suggestions, I highly appreciated and will implement when I have time. I'm currently busy with non-IM stuffs now.
@purewealthinc, I tried on some hosts but could not make the script to work. There is guide here that reported to make it work on server:

Hi all,

sorry for the delay, here is another update.
- add new spintax
- update the article scraper, less error (tested on my side)
- allow custom thesaurus (you can add your own thesaurus by adding a file called thesaurus2.txt in the root folder (same folder as thesaurus.txt), please check thesaurus.txt for the format)

What do you need to do to update?
replace the 3 files in the attachment to your current files.

Please report any errors you have.

Thanks for the update cbnoob, I spent two hours today trying to find this thread again to check for updates and not 4 hours later here one is.

So far I have found a couple of things.

1. Article grabbing works fine in WAMP but fails in Z-WAMP (portable version used on my laptop for size, and the last version works perfectly on it still) with this error [Fri Dec 02 21:35:25 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in Z:\\web\\spun2\\library\\simple_html_dom.php on line 988, referer: http://localhost/spun2/index.php

2. When using Article Spinner and selecting Spintax Style of {word1|word 2} it comes out instead as {word1~word 2} but the other two styles work fine.

3. Please add back in the Use Thesaurus yes/no option as I only want sentence/paragraph spintax and not word level.

4. On Z-WAMP Article Generator failed without leaving a clue in the log file. In WAMP it failed, it appears to only have stripped out the brackets {} and left behind the ~ separated spintax (~How To By Pass Facebook using~utilizing~making use of~employing A Proxy List ~Using Anonymous Internet~Web~World wide web~Net Proxies To Hide Your Ip Address~Facebook Proxy~Why Would You use a~make access to~use of~usage). BUT, it works on both if you have some properly formatted spintax using the { | } format.

5. The Snippet Spinner works fine on both and generates proper { | } spintax format.

6. Article Spinner appears the same as 5. above.

Thanks for the update!

Hey tex,

Thanks for your feedback. The update only applied for the Article Spinner section now. I'm working on the rest.
I will fix the problem on spintax and add the non spin as you suggest.

cbnoob
 
Hey no problem, I really appreciate your app and was happy to do a test run on it. Thanks for building it!

Tex
 
Fix the bug on spintax, add the sentence spin only. Working on other functions.
Update as you did above.

Just downloaded your spinner and started going through the code. Wow....you must have spend an enormous number of hours building this. Thank you!!!

Have you considered using curl for the downloads? This would allow you to use proxies which can be a much better solution if anyone ever uses this in a major way. I wouldn't want to start downloading thousands of articles in a day from Ezine, I imagine they'd blacklist your IP.

Because you've built this in PHP it opens up a ton of possibilities. You've got my head spinning just thinking about it.
 
Glad you find it's helpful :D. Yeah, I have some idea to extend this to further too. I concern about proxies too but I'm not familiar with curl now so if you want to download a lot of articles a day, you can VPN services such as HMA.
