Skrape – my first wordpress plugin
May 7, 2006
Check it out. I made my first release of a wordpress plugin I started working on a little while ago.
What does it do? It uses the PHP CURL extension to login to a remote website to harvest (aka scrape) content and import it into WordPress on a scheduled task.
Why would you want to do that? Well for example I have an account at a particular website that requires me to login to read the new content each day. I wanted to setup a scheduled task to login and retrieve that content and insert it into my beer club members blog. So that is exactly what this plugin does.
Enjoy!
