I am trying to grab the score table from a website. The problem is that the site is using javascript that apparently loads on document.ready
.
For that reason I don't seem to succeed getting the table and all I get is the buttons at the top of that page.
Any suggestions or ideas on how to solve this?
To get this to work, just urlencode($strSearch) in the $url , and remove urlencode() from the CURLOPT_URL line. Show activity on this post.
cURL will only get you the markup of the page. It won't load any additional resources or process the page. You probably want to look at something like PhantomJS for this. PhantomJS is a headless WebKit browser.
Curl is a popular command line tool often used for making HTTP requests. Curl supports a wide variety of other protocols, but, as a Node. js developer, you'll most likely use it to make HTTP requests to RESTful APIs.
To make a GET request using Curl, run the curl command followed by the target URL. Curl automatically selects the HTTP GET request method unless you use the -X, --request, or -d command-line option.

PhantomJS is a headless WebKit browser. It has its own API that lets you "script" behavior. So you can tell PhantomJS to load the page and dump out the data you need.
Depending on what exactly you're trying to do, you could just fetch the JSON data that makes the table:
