# PHP Google photos album crawler

Just a little and light script to fetch an album name, images from a public google photos album url. This simple script will simply use guzzle to get the html of the page, apply a regex to get the JSON data, then parse it. For big album it might take a little bit of time so be patient and make sure to not block the main thread of your application. You can for example use this script in a async task or a job queue.

Enjoy!

echo "Contain: " . count($album['images']) . " images \n\n";

foreach ($album['images'] as $image) {

    echo "- " . $image['id'] . " " . $image['width'] . "x" . $image['height']  . " " . $image['url'] . "\n";
