Google Client

Everything about the google client

Installation

The google client is available with the package serps/search-engine-google:

$ composer require 'serps/search-engine-google'

In addition you will require to install either zend-diactoros or guzzle/psr7 to provide a psr7 implementation

$ composer require 'zendframework/zend-diactoros'

$ composer require 'guzzlehttp/psr7'

Important note about google updates

We don't know when google dom updates, but when it does, we will place as many efforts as possible to get the client updated.

To make sure you are always up to date we advice you to watch the repository on github. Not only you will be notified when a release is published, but you will also know when a bug is detected and reported on the issue tracker.

Overview

The google client needs a browser to be constructed and an url to be parsed.

    use Serps\SearchEngine\Google\GoogleClient;
    use Serps\HttpClient\CurlClient;
    use Serps\SearchEngine\Google\GoogleUrl;
    use Serps\Core\Browser\Browser;

    $userAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/40.0.2214.93 Safari/537.36";
    $browserLanguage = "fr-FR";

    $browser = new Browser(new CurlClient(), $userAgent, $browserLanguage);

    // Create a google client using the browser we configured
    $googleClient = new GoogleClient($browser);

    // Create the url that will be parsed
    $googleUrl = new GoogleUrl();
    $googleUrl->setSearchTerm('simpsons');

    $response = $googleClient->query($googleUrl);

    $results = $response->getNaturalResults();

    foreach($results as $result){
        // Analyse the results
    }
