# APK Scraper - Quick Start (5 Minutes)

**For:** Shared hosting without Node.js  
**Solution:** Goutte HTML Parsing (Free, Professional, Production-Ready)

---

## ⚡ What Was Changed?

| Before | After |
|--------|-------|
| ❌ Puppeteer (requires Node.js) | ✅ Goutte (pure PHP) |
| ❌ Not working on shared hosting | ✅ Works on all shared hosting |
| ❌ Templates/placeholders | ✅ Real HTML scraping |
| ❌ Limited to GitHub | ✅ APKPure + APKMirror + GitHub |

---

## 📦 Installation (Copy-Paste)

### On Your Server (via Terminal/cPanel)

```bash
# Navigate to your app
cd /home/wesamhoor/pub

# Install Goutte and dependencies
composer install

# Verify installation
php artisan tinker
> MultiSourceScraper::getSourceInfo()
```

**Expected output:**
```
=> [
     "apkpure" => [...],
     "apkmirror" => [...],
     "github" => [...],
   ]
```

## 🚀 Use It (3 Examples)

### 1. Search GitHub Releases (Most Reliable)

```php
<?php

use App\Services\MultiSourceScraper;

// Search for Firefox on GitHub
$apps = MultiSourceScraper::scrape('github', 'mozilla-mobile/fenix');

foreach ($apps as $app) {
    echo $app['name'] . " v" . $app['latest_version'] . "\n";
    echo "Download: " . $app['download_url'] . "\n";
    echo "Size: " . ($app['size'] / 1024 / 1024) . " MB\n";
}
```

### 2. Search APKPure

```php
// Search for Telegram
$apps = MultiSourceScraper::scrape('apkpure', 'telegram');

// Validate before publishing
foreach ($apps as $app) {
    $errors = MultiSourceScraper::validate($app);
    
    if (empty($errors)) {
        echo "✓ " . $app['name'] . " is valid\n";
        // App::create($app); // Publish to database
    } else {
        echo "✗ Errors: " . implode(", ", $errors) . "\n";
    }
}
```

### 3. Search APKMirror

```php
// Search for WhatsApp
$apps = MultiSourceScraper::scrape('apkmirror', 'whatsapp');

// Get first app
if (!empty($apps)) {
    $app = $apps[0];
    echo "Found: " . $app['name'] . "\n";
    echo "Dev: " . $app['developer'] . "\n";
    echo "Rating: " . $app['rating'] . "/5\n";
}
```

## 🎯 In Your Admin Panel

### Register Routes

Add to `routes/platform.php`:

```php
use App\Orchid\Screens\APKImportScreen;
use App\Http\Controllers\APKImportController;

Route::prefix('admin')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/apk-import', APKImportScreen::class)
        ->name('platform.apk-import');
    
    Route::post('/api/apk-search', [APKImportController::class, 'search'])
        ->name('api.apk-search');
    
    Route::post('/api/apk-import', [APKImportController::class, 'import'])
        ->name('api.apk-import');
});
```

### Create Controller

File: `app/Http/Controllers/APKImportController.php`

```php
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Services\MultiSourceScraper;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class APKImportController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Search and scrape
     * POST /api/apk-search
     * Body: {"source": "github", "query": "owner/repo"}
     */
    public function search(Request $request)
    {
        $validated = $request->validate([
            'source' => 'required|in:apkpure,apkmirror,github',
            'query' => 'required|string|min:1|max:100',
        ]);

        $apps = MultiSourceScraper::scrape(
            $validated['source'],
            $validated['query']
        );

        $valid = array_filter($apps, fn($app) => 
            empty(MultiSourceScraper::validate($app))
        );

        return response()->json([
            'success' => true,
            'total_found' => count($apps),
            'valid_count' => count($valid),
            'apps' => array_values($valid),
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * Publish an app
     * POST /api/apk-import
     */
    public function import(Request $request)
    {
        $appData = $request->validate([
            'package_name' => 'required|string',
            'name' => 'required|string',
            'developer' => 'required|string',
            'description' => 'nullable|string',
            'latest_version' => 'required|string',
            'download_url' => 'required|url|ends_with:.apk',
            'icon_url' => 'nullable|url',
            'size' => 'nullable|integer',
            'source' => 'nullable|string',
        ]);

        $errors = MultiSourceScraper::validate($appData);
        if (!empty($errors)) {
            return response()->json(['errors' => $errors], 422);
        }

        $app = App::create($appData);

        return response()->json([
            'success' => true,
            'app' => $app,
        ]);
    }
}
```

## 🔍 Test It (Tinker)

```bash
php artisan tinker
```

```php
# GitHub (most reliable)
> use App\Services\MultiSourceScraper
> MultiSourceScraper::scrape('github', 'mozilla-mobile/fenix')
=> [array with app data]

# APKPure
> MultiSourceScraper::scrape('apkpure', 'telegram')
=> [array with apps]

# APKMirror
> MultiSourceScraper::scrape('apkmirror', 'whatsapp')
=> [array with apps]

# Validate
> MultiSourceScraper::validate(['package_name' => 'invalid'])
=> ["Package name is required", "Invalid package name format"]

# Get source info
> MultiSourceScraper::getSourceInfo()
=> [supported sources info]
```

---

## ⚙️ Configuration (Optional)

### Speed Up with GitHub Token

Get more requests (60 → 5000/hour):

```bash
# Create GitHub personal access token at:
# https://github.com/settings/tokens/new
# - Select: public_repo scope
# - Copy token

# Add to .env
echo "GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxx" >> .env
```

### Slow Connection?

Increase timeout in `app/Services/MultiSourceScraper.php`:

```php
private const TIMEOUT = 30; // was 15, now 30 seconds
```

---

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

| Problem | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| "Class not found: Goutte" | Run: `composer install` |
| "No apps found" | Check internet connection, try different query |
| "Timeout" | Increase `TIMEOUT` constant (30, 45, 60) |
| "403 Forbidden" | Site blocked the request, try different source |
