Scrapping YellowPages emails

Hey everyone,

Been looking at scraping YP with PHP, however seeing as CURL does not execute JS, so the email cant be loaded into it's place, anyone have any ideas how to find it?


Any help appreciated would be great,


Thank you,
S

Yes use an email scraping tool to scrape yellow book
That's what I use there's a new email scraper out fry I've been using that does a wonderfull job with this.

Whats the name of the software? I dont mind purchasing it.

Thing is, I need to use php to scrape them, so I cant use software... any other ideas?

Curl does not execute Javascript, but it CAN replicate what the Javascript is doing. To see exactly what that is, download a FF plugin called "Live HTTP Headers" (google it, I can't link). Go to a site, open Live HTTP Headers, and perform your actions. It will show the requests exactly as they go through. Chances are, the javascript is sending POST requests to get data that you need. Just replicate those requests with curl and you will be all good.
