There are many tools available for performing web scraping. However, if you want to have complete control over it, it is better to write your own web scraping tool. You can easily build a demo web scraping web application using PHP and Abstract API. PHP handles the web app interactions and accepts web scraping requests, while the Abstract Web Scraping API does the heavy lifting of scraping and returning the scraped content. Integrating the API within a PHP application is easy with a plethora of PHP HTTP client libraries, such as cURL. The Abstract Web Scraping API offers a free tier of 1000 requests per month to try the API.
