How Amazon ASIN Grabber with Simple Html DOM work ?

You must include simple_html_dom.php on the first.

include "simple_html_dom.php";

Scrap HTML element with

$html = file_get_html('<span style="color: #ff0000;">http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2/176-0876229-3718769?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=iphone</span>');

1	$html = file_get_html('<span style="color: #ff0000;">http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2/176-0876229-3718769?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=iphone</span>');

We will grab iphone product in amazon.

And then right click and choose view page source . Examine the line of code until you find the same pattern and sequence as follows

&lt;h3 class="newaps"&gt;
 &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPhone-16GB-Black-Verizon/dp/B004ZLV5UE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1406514795&amp;amp;sr=8-1&amp;amp;keywords=iphone"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="med reg"&gt;by Apple (Sep 3, 2011)&lt;/span&gt;
 &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul class="rsltL"&gt;
...........
&lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPhone-8GB-White-Verizon/dp/B0074R1IP8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1406514795&amp;amp;sr=8-3&amp;amp;keywords=iphone"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;<span style="color: #ff00ff;">&lt;span class="lrg bold"&gt;</span>Apple iPhone 4 8GB (White) - Verizon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

foreach ($node1->find('text') as $node)
{
if ($node->parent() === $node1 && strlen($t = trim($node->plaintext)))
{
$url = $element->href;
$hasil=explode("/",$url);
if (count($hasil)>=5)
{
if ($hasil[4]=='dp')
{
$asin=$hasil[5];
}
}
$title = $t ;
echo '<tr><td align="center">'.$no.'</td><td>'.$asin.'</td><td>'.$title.'</td></tr>';
$no++;
}
}
}
}
}

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; line-height: inherit;">

foreach($html->find('a') as $element)

{

$asin='';

$title='';

foreach ($element->find('span') as $node1)

{

if ($node1->class=='lrg bold')

{

foreach ($node1->find('text') as $node)

  I think amazon change the css, try this code
  include “simple_html_dom.php”;
  $html = file_get_html(‘http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2/176-0876229-3718769?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=iphone’);
  foreach ($html->find(‘li[class=s-result-item]’) as $node1)
  {
  foreach($node1->find(‘a’) as $linku)
  {
  $url=$linku->href;
  $hasil=explode(“/”,$url);
  if (count($hasil)>=5)
  {
  if ($hasil[4]==’dp’)
  {
  echo $hasil[5].’
  ‘;
  }
  }
  }
  }
  🙂

    Is the above code using : span , there is a change or not used ?
    - Sigit Prasetya Nugroho says

      not used…the basic using simple_html_dom is you must be careful in looking for html attributes (with right click and view pagesource).
      change the code with new example code in the comment.
      If you have difficulty to use simple_html_dom, please try my tutorial grab asin using curl, its still working
