I read a lot of articles explaining how to parse a HTML file with PHP but in the case of twitter it uses iframe where texts are hidden. How can I parse the twitter HTML?
I know it is very easy to use API’s or .rss page or json to get the tweets/string but I want to be able to work with twitter HTML page directly. Is there any way I could find the tweets using their html page?
The best way would be to use something like Simple HTML DOM. With this you can use CSS selectors like with jQuery to find the elements on the page you are looking for. However Twitter pages use a lot of javascript and ajax so you may be stuck with either using an API or maybe you could try it with the mobile site.
