This package can scrape web sites using scrapeStack API.

It can send HTTP requests to the scrapeStack API Web server to request to retrieve the contents of a Web page given its URL.

The class returns the remote Web server response details as an object that is assigned to the class response variable.

Scrape websites using the scrapeStack API service which rotates through proxies to protect your IP number from being blacklisted.

Number 3		 Some applications need to scrape information from other Web sites because they need that information and the sites do not provide an API or any other means to provide that information to other sites.

However, scraping Web sites may be difficult if the site server limits the number of requests that a site receives from a remote client computer.

This package provides a workaround that uses the Scrape API Web service. That service uses multiple proxy servers to perform multiple requests to pages of a another site.
