I'm trying to scrap information directly from the maersk website. Exemple, i'm trying scraping the information from this URL https://www.maersk.com/tracking/221242675 I Have a lot of tracking nunbers to update every day on database, so I dicided automate a little bit.
But, if have the following code, but its saying that need JS to work. I alredy even tryed with curl, etc. But nothing work. Any one know another way?
I tryed the following code:
<?php
//
You need to scrape the data directly from their API requests, rather than trying to scrape the page URL directly (Unless you're using something like puppeteer, but I really don't recommend that for this simple task)
I took a look at the site and the API endpoint is:
https://api.maersk.com/track/221242675?operator=MAEU
This will return a JSON-formatted response which you can parse and use to extract the details. It'll also give you a much easier method to access the data rather than parsing the HTML. Example below.
