Web Scraping

There are a lot of web-sites out there, with a lot of data on them. Sometimes you are building a killer web-app and you just have to have some data off a certain site. The problem is, that particular site doesn’t have an API that you can just plug into! Never fear, using some simple tools, combined with the Zend Framework you can create your own web-scraping (screen-scraping) API in no time.
