Hi.
How to scrape number results founds for http://delicious.com/search?p=mydomain.com
For example for http://delicious.com/search?p=ebay.com only scraped 15235.

$s = file_get_contents('http://delicious.com/search?p=ebay.com');
preg_match('~<em>([\\d,]+)</em> results~', $s, $matches);
$result = $mat&#1089;hes[1];
3

not showed results for this code:

<?php
$s = file_get_contents('http://delicious.com/search?p=ebay.com');
preg_match('~<em>([\\d,]+)</em> results~', $s, $matches);
$result = $mat&#1089;hes[1];
echo ($result)
?>

I wonder if Delicious allowed such use of their service

It doesn’t say anything about scraping the site in the T&Cs, which is strange. Doesn’t make it legal though.

However, you should really be using the API for this.

not showed results for this code:

it work for me, shows 15,276
oh, after copy code i found $result = $matсhes[1]; c - not english synbol, sorry.
here valid code

$s = file_get_contents('http://delicious.com/search?p=ebay.com'); 
preg_match('~<em>([\\d,]+)</em> results~', $s, $matches); 
$result = $matches[1]; 
echo $result;

If i want to replace ebay.com with $website how to work?

<?php
$s = file_get_contents('http://delicious.com/search?p=ebay.com'); 
preg_match('~<em>([\\d,]+)</em> results~', $s, $matches); 
$result = $matches[1]; 
echo $result;
?>

The Delicious Terms of Service disagree with what you’re wanting to achieve.

  1. Feeds and API

Delicious provides access to portions of Delicious via RSS feeds and an API; for the purposes of these Delicious Terms, such access constitutes use of Delicious. Delicious asks that you use these features respectfully, as outlined in the documentation. You may not use these or any other features or Delicious itself to allow the display of a substantial portion of the Delicious database or reproduce, duplicate or copy Delicious. Delicious reserves the right to change these features at any time and to disable access to the feeds and the API at any time for any reason.

I suggest that you make use of their API / RSS tools instead.

I hardly think that scraping a number from a search results page constitutes copying the Delicious service (bookmarking). :confused:

karimian, replace:

$s = file_get_contents('http://delicious.com/search?p=ebay.com');

with

$s = file_get_contents('http://delicious.com/search?p='.urlencode($website));

not showed results for

<?php
$s = file_get_contents('http://delicious.com/search?p='.urlencode($website)); 
preg_match('~<em>([\\d,]+)</em> results~', $s, $matches); 
$result = $matches[1]; 
echo $result;
?>

$website is not defined in your code snippet; you’ll need to give it some value!


<?php
$website = 'example.org';
$s = ...
12

$website defined in php tag before this php code.but your code not worked.

13

The code that you posted did not contain the $website so my suggestion was to include it within your code. My code, if copied and pasted, is not expected to do anything (or even run at all!).

If you are going to ask questions about why code is not working, please post the code that you are using and not some vague approximation of it.
