PHP MySpace Scraper

Official Page: Created by Matt Pardee How To: In the file called ms_test.php, find where it says "LOGIN_EMAIL" and "PASSWORD" and change those. LEAVE THE QUOTES IN PLACE Save the file. Upload these two files to your server. point your web browser to http://where-you-put-the-file-on-your-server/ms_test.php and what will result is a CSV file of all your MySpace friends and their demographic information. Also included is the URLs to "send message" etc, and some other useful things. View the source of the page and copy it into a PlainText text file Name the text file with the extension .csv Now you should be able to work with your myspace friends in Excel There is nothing malicious about this simple application. No viruses, spyware etc. It only does what it's supposed to do: scrape your friends so you can more easily work with your social network data. If you are of the camp that feels that people scraping their own myspace contacts is unethical, I suggest that you consider that all the pages are already available and the data they contain is rendered in HTML which can be freely accessed already. This is just a tool to make it easier to get the useful data separated from the clutter. Finally, this is possibly against MySpace's Terms Of Service, so use at your own risk.

It logs into MySpace, retrieves all of your friends and their information like age, location, gender, etc, as well as the urls to send a message, write a comment, picture urls, etc and returns all of this in a CSV file so you can use it in Microsft Excel or do other things with it.

Hey this looks pretty sweet.
I was going to code a scraper to do this, but looks like i won't have to now.
Nice one Matt.
