Goutte is a PHP screen scraping and web crawling library providing a simple API to crawl websites and extract data from HTML/XML responses. It is a thin wrapper around Symfony BrowserKit, DomCrawler, CssSelector, and HttpClient components, and is now deprecated in favor of Symfony's HttpBrowser.
Use cases
- scrape product prices from e-commerce sites
- crawl a website and extract links and page titles
- parse HTML tables into structured data with PHP
- submit login forms programmatically and scrape authenticated pages
- extract article text from blog pages
- monitor web pages for content changes
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy PHP codebase already using Goutte
- you want a simple PHP scraper built on Symfony DomCrawler
- you need form submission and link-clicking in a scraping workflow
When to avoid
- starting a new PHP project - use Symfony BrowserKit HttpBrowser directly since Goutte is deprecated
- you need JavaScript rendering - Goutte only handles static HTML
- you need high-performance large-scale crawling
