  • What’s the best way to gather Tmall product reviews with PHP?

    Tmall’s product reviews often load dynamically, so using PHP with Panther (a headless browser integration) helps render content fully.

    CURL in PHP fetches static data like product names, categories, and prices, but headless browsing is needed for real-time reviews.

    • Organizing reviews by rating level provides insights into customer sentiment, allowing me to identify high-quality products.

    Storing reviews in MySQL enables trend analysis, tracking changes in customer satisfaction over time, especially on popular items.

    By rotating headers and IP addresses, I reduce detection risks, especially when scraping high-traffic items with frequent reviews.

    • Setting up a schedule to capture reviews periodically ensures up-to-date data, as Tmall reviews are often posted daily.

    • PHP’s DOMDocument and XPath functions help extract specific review elements, like rating stars or review text, from Tmall’s HTML.
