Mini Bots PHP Class

admin @ 11:49 pm

HISTORY:
ver.1.5, modified twitterInfo, fixed private functions, addedd facebook status method.
ver.1.4, added twitterInfo, wepage2txt and url2pdf methods.
ver.1.3, added url_exists and getUrlInfo methods.

This php class it’s a growing collection of small spiders that go out on the web and make some small usefull work. I’ve decided to raise it to the top level menu beacuse I think it’s a nice project, and I will explain the functions in the blog. Actually the mini bots can do those things:

Version 1.5 includes:

  1. search Google and get the spelling suggest
  2. search Google and retrieve the meteo information for a place
  3. search Bank Of Italy service to get exchange rates for a specified currency
  4. search GeoIpTool to retrieve geographical information from a specified IP address
  5. contact any mail server to validate email address through smtp protocol
  6. call tinyurl.com to get a tiny url of a specified long url
  7. decode any small url to the original long url
  8. url checker to see if a url exists
  9. get url infos to get data about a page (title, description, favicon, images)
  10. retrieves all the text from a url
  11. convert a url to a pdf and save it to a local file
  12. get some stats data from a twitter user NEW v.1.5
  13. change facebook status NEW v.1.5

Here is a demo and here there is another page of demos.

Here is the source v.1.5.
Here is another demo that mixes two mini bots to make localized meteo service.

    Utilissimo!!!

    Puoi usare l’exchange rate di Google invece di quello della banca d’Italia, che te ne pare?
