PHP crawler: crawling and analyzing millions of Zhihu user data

This time, 1.1 million user data were captured. The data analysis results are as follows:

Preparation before development

Install Linux system Ubuntu14.04), install an Ubuntu under the VMWare virtual machine;

Install PHP5.6 or above;

Install MySQL5.5 or above;

Install curl and pcntl extensions.

Use PHP’s curl extension to capture page data

PHP’s curl extension is a library supported by PHP that allows you to connect and communicate with various servers using various types of protocols.

This program captures Zhihu user data. To be able to access the user's personal page, the user needs to be logged in before accessing. When we click a user avatar link on the browser page to enter the user's personal center page, the reason why we can see the user's information is because when we click the link, the browser helps you bring the local cookies and submit them together. Go to a new page, so you can enter the user's personal center page. Therefore, before accessing the personal page, you need to obtain the user's cookie information, and then bring the cookie information with each curl request. In terms of obtaining cookie information, I used my own cookie. You can see your cookie information on the page:

Copy them one by one to form a cookie string in the form of "__utma=?;__utmb=?;". This cookie string can then be used to send requests.

Initial example:

<ol class="dp-j"><li class="alt"><span><span>$url = </span><span class="string">'http://www.zhihu.com/people/mora-hu/about'</span><span>; //此处mora-hu代表用户ID </span></span></li><li><span>$ch = curl_init($url); <span class="comment">//初始化会话</span><span> </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, <span class="number">0</span><span>); </span></span></li><li><span>curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, $<span class="keyword">this</span><span>->config_arr[</span><span class="string">'user_cookie'</span><span>]);  </span><span class="comment">//设置请求COOKIE</span><span> </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER[<span class="string">'HTTP_USER_AGENT'</span><span>]); </span></span></li><li><span>curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, <span class="number">1</span><span>);  </span><span class="comment">//将curl_exec()获取的信息以文件流的形式返回,而不是直接输出。</span><span> </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, <span class="number">1</span><span>);  </span></span></li><li><span>$result = curl_exec($ch); </span></li><li class="alt"><span><span class="keyword">return</span><span> $result;  </span><span class="comment">//抓取的结果</span><span> </span></span></li></ol>

Run the above code to get the personal center page of mora-hu user. Using this result and then using regular expressions to process the page, you can obtain the name, gender and other information that needs to be captured.

Picture hotlink protection

When outputting personal information after regularizing the return results, it was found that the user's avatar cannot be opened when outputting it on the page. After reviewing the information, I found out that it was because Zhihu had protected the pictures from hotlinking. The solution is to forge a referer in the request header when requesting an image.

After using the regular expression to obtain the link to the image, send another request. At this time, bring the source of the image request, indicating that the request is forwarded from the Zhihu website. Specific examples are as follows:

<ol class="dp-j"><li class="alt"><span><span>function getImg($url, $u_id) </span></span></li><li><span>{ </span></li><li class="alt"><span>    <span class="keyword">if</span><span> (file_exists(</span><span class="string">'./images/'</span><span> . $u_id . </span><span class="string">".jpg"</span><span>)) </span></span></li><li><span>    { </span></li><li class="alt"><span>        <span class="keyword">return</span><span> </span><span class="string">"images/$u_id"</span><span> . </span><span class="string">'.jpg'</span><span>; </span></span></li><li><span>    } </span></li><li class="alt"><span>    <span class="keyword">if</span><span> (empty($url)) </span></span></li><li><span>    { </span></li><li class="alt"><span>        <span class="keyword">return</span><span> </span><span class="string">''</span><span>; </span></span></li><li><span>    } </span></li><li class="alt"><span>    $context_options = array(  </span></li><li><span>        <span class="string">'http'</span><span> =>  </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>        array( </span></li><li><span>            <span class="string">'header'</span><span> => </span><span class="string">"Referer:http://www.zhihu.com"</span><span>//带上referer参数 </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>    ) </span></li><li><span>); </span></li><li class="alt"><span> </span></li><li><span>    $context = stream_context_create($context_options);  </span></li><li class="alt"><span>    $img = file_get_contents(<span class="string">'http:'</span><span> . $url, FALSE, $context); </span></span></li><li><span>    file_put_contents(<span class="string">'./images/'</span><span> . $u_id . </span><span class="string">".jpg"</span><span>, $img); </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>    <span class="keyword">return</span><span> </span><span class="string">"images/$u_id"</span><span> . </span><span class="string">'.jpg'</span><span>; </span></span></li><li><span>} </span></li></ol>

Crawl more users

After capturing your personal information, you need to access the user's followers and followed user lists to obtain more user information. Then visit layer by layer. As you can see, in the personal center page, there are two links as follows:

There are two links here, one is followed and the other is followers, taking the "followed" link as an example. Use regular matching to match the corresponding link. After getting the URL, use curl to bring the cookie and send another request. After crawling the list page that the user has followed, you can get the following page:

Analyze the HTML structure of the page. Because you only need to get the user's information, you only need to frame the div content, and the user name is in it. As you can see, the URL of the page that the user followed is:

This URL is almost the same for different users. The difference lies in the username. Use regular matching to get the user name list, spell the URLs one by one, and then send requests one by one. Of course, one by one is relatively slow. There is a solution below, which will be discussed later). After entering the new user's page, repeat the above steps, and continue in this loop until you reach the amount of data you want.

Number of Linux statistics files

After the script has been running for a while, you need to see how many pictures have been obtained. When the amount of data is relatively large, it is a bit slow to open the folder to check the number of pictures. The script is run in a Linux environment, so you can use Linux commands to count the number of files:

ls -l | grep "^-" | wc -l

其中, ls -l 是长列表输出该目录下的文件信息这里的文件可以是目录、链接、设备文件等); <code>grep "^-" 过滤长列表输出信息, <code>"^-" 只保留一般文件,如果只保留目录是 <code>"^d" ; <code>wc -l 是统计输出信息的行数。下面是一个运行示例:

插入MySQL时重复数据的处理

程序运行了一段时间后,发现有很多用户的数据是重复的,因此需要在插入重复用户数据的时候做处理。处理方案如下:

1)插入数据库之前检查数据是否已经存在数据库;

2)添加唯一索引,插入时使用 INSERT INTO ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE...

3)添加唯一索引,插入时使用 INSERT INGNORE INTO...

4)添加唯一索引,插入时使用 REPLACE INTO...

第一种方案是最简单但也是效率最差的方案,因此不采取。二和四方案的执行结果是一样的,不同的是,在遇到相同的数据时, INSERT INTO … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE 是直接更新的,而 REPLACE INTO 是先删除旧的数据然后插入新的,在这个过程中,还需要重新维护索引,所以速度慢。所以在二和四两者间选择了第二种方案。而第三种方案, INSERT INGNORE 会忽略执行INSERT语句出现的错误,不会忽略语法问题,但是忽略主键存在的情况。这样一来,使用 INSERT INGNORE 就更好了。最终,考虑到要在数据库中记录重复数据的条数,因此在程序中采用了第二种方案。

使用curl_multi实现多线程抓取页面

刚开始单进程而且单个curl去抓取数据,速度很慢,挂机爬了一个晚上只能抓到2W的数据,于是便想到能不能在进入新的用户页面发curl请求的时 候一次性请求多个用户,后来发现了curl_multi这个好东西。curl_multi这类函数可以实现同时请求多个url,而不是一个个请求,这类似 于linux系统中一个进程开多条线程执行的功能。下面是使用curl_multi实现多线程爬虫的示例:

<ol class="dp-j"><li class="alt"><span><span>$mh = curl_multi_init(); </span><span class="comment">//返回一个新cURL批处理句柄</span><span> </span></span></li><li><span><span class="keyword">for</span><span> ($i = </span><span class="number">0</span><span>;

HTTP 429 Too Many Requests

使用curl_multi函数可以同时发多个请求,但是在执行过程中使同时发200个请求的时候,发现很多请求无法返回了,即发现了丢包的情况。进 一步分析,使用 curl_getinfo 函数打印每个请求句柄信息,该函数返回一个包含HTTP response信息的关联数组,其中有一个字段是http_code,表示请求返回的HTTP状态码。看到有很多个请求的http_code都是 429,这个返回码的意思是发送太多请求了。我猜是知乎做了防爬虫的防护,于是我就拿其他的网站来做测试,发现一次性发200个请求时没问题的,证明了我 的猜测,知乎在这方面做了防护,即一次性的请求数量是有限制的。于是我不断地减少请求数量,发现在5的时候就没有丢包情况了。说明在这个程序里一次性最多 只能发5个请求,虽然不多,但这也是一次小提升了。

使用Redis保存已经访问过的用户

抓取用户的过程中,发现有些用户是已经访问过的,而且他的关注者和关注了的用户都已经获取过了,虽然在数据库的层面做了重复数据的处理,但是程序还 是会使用curl发请求,这样重复的发送请求就有很多重复的网络开销。还有一个就是待抓取的用户需要暂时保存在一个地方以便下一次执行,刚开始是放到数组 里面,后来发现要在程序里添加多进程,在多进程编程里,子进程会共享程序代码、函数库,但是进程使用的变量与其他进程所使用的截然不同。不同进程之间的变 量是分离的,不能被其他进程读取,所以是不能使用数组的。因此就想到了使用Redis缓存来保存已经处理好的用户以及待抓取的用户。这样每次执行完的时候 都把用户push到一个already_request_queue队列中,把待抓取的用户即每个用户的关注者和关注了的用户列表)push到 request_queue里面,然后每次执行前都从request_queue里pop一个用户,然后判断是否在 already_request_queue里面,如果在,则进行下一个,否则就继续执行。

在PHP中使用redis示例:

<ol class="dp-j"><li class="alt"><span><span><php </span></span></li><li><span>    $redis = <span class="keyword">new</span><span> Redis(); </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>    $redis->connect(<span class="string">'127.0.0.1'</span><span>, </span><span class="string">'6379'</span><span>); </span></span></li><li><span>    $redis->set(<span class="string">'tmp'</span><span>, </span><span class="string">'value'</span><span>); </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>    <span class="keyword">if</span><span> ($redis->exists(</span><span class="string">'tmp'</span><span>)) </span></span></li><li><span>    { </span></li><li class="alt"><span>        echo $redis->get(<span class="string">'tmp'</span><span>) . </span><span class="string">"\n"</span><span>; </span></span></li><li><span>    } </span></li></ol>

使用PHP的pcntl扩展实现多进程

改用了curl_multi函数实现多线程抓取用户信息之后,程序运行了一个晚上,最终得到的数据有10W。还不能达到自己的理想目标,于是便继续优化,后来发现php里面有一个pcntl扩展可以实现多进程编程。下面是多编程编程的示例:

<ol class="dp-j"><li class="alt"><span><span class="comment">//PHP多进程demo</span><span> </span></span></li><li><span><span class="comment">//fork10个进程</span><span> </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span><span class="keyword">for</span><span> ($i = </span><span class="number">0</span><span>; $i < </span><span class="number">10</span><span>; $i++) { </span></span></li><li><span>    $pid = pcntl_fork(); </span></li><li class="alt"><span>    <span class="keyword">if</span><span> ($pid == -</span><span class="number">1</span><span>) { </span></span></li><li><span>        echo <span class="string">"Could not fork!\n"</span><span>; </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>        exit(<span class="number">1</span><span>); </span></span></li><li><span>    } </span></li><li class="alt"><span>    <span class="keyword">if</span><span> (!$pid) { </span></span></li><li><span>        echo <span class="string">"child process $i running\n"</span><span>; </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>        <span class="comment">//子进程执行完毕之后就退出,以免继续fork出新的子进程</span><span> </span></span></li><li><span>        exit($i); </span></li><li class="alt"><span>    } </span></li><li><span>} </span></li><li class="alt"><span> </span></li><li><span><span class="comment">//等待子进程执行完毕,避免出现僵尸进程</span><span> </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span><span class="keyword">while</span><span> (pcntl_waitpid(</span><span class="number">0</span><span>, $status) != -</span><span class="number">1</span><span>) { </span></span></li><li><span>    $status = pcntl_wexitstatus($status); </span></li><li class="alt"><span>    echo <span class="string">"Child $status completed\n"</span><span>; </span></span></li><li><span>} </span></li></ol>

在Linux下查看系统的cpu信息

实现了多进程编程之后,就想着多开几条进程不断地抓取用户的数据,后来开了8调进程跑了一个晚上后发现只能拿到20W的数据,没有多大的提升。于是 查阅资料发现,根据系统优化的CPU性能调优,程序的最大进程数不能随便给的,要根据CPU的核数和来给,最大进程数最好是cpu核数的2倍。因此需要查 看cpu的信息来看看cpu的核数。在Linux下查看cpu的信息的命令:

<ol class="dp-j"><li class="alt"><span><span>cat /proc/cpuinfo </span></span></li></ol>
Copy after login

结果如下:

其中,model name表示cpu类型信息,cpu cores表示cpu核数。这里的核数是1,因为是在虚拟机下运行,分配到的cpu核数比较少,因此只能开2条进程。最终的结果是,用了一个周末就抓取了110万的用户数据。

多进程编程中Redis和MySQL连接问题

在多进程条件下,程序运行了一段时间后,发现数据不能插入到数据库,会报mysql too many connections的错误,redis也是如此。

下面这段代码会执行失败:

<ol class="dp-j"><li class="alt"><span><span><php </span></span></li><li><span>     <span class="keyword">for</span><span> ($i = </span><span class="number">0</span><span>; $i < </span><span class="number">10</span><span>; $i++) { </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>          $pid = pcntl_fork(); </span></li><li><span>          <span class="keyword">if</span><span> ($pid == -</span><span class="number">1</span><span>) { </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>               echo <span class="string">"Could not fork!\n"</span><span>; </span></span></li><li><span>               exit(<span class="number">1</span><span>); </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>          } </span></li><li><span>          <span class="keyword">if</span><span> (!$pid) { </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>               $redis = PRedis::getInstance(); </span></li><li><span>               <span class="comment">// do something    </span><span> </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>               exit; </span></li><li><span>          } </span></li><li class="alt"><span>     } </span></li></ol>
Copy after login

根本原因是在各个子进程创建时,就已经继承了父进程一份完全一样的拷贝。对象可以拷贝,但是已创建的连接不能被拷贝成多个,由此产生的结果,就是各个进程都使用同一个redis连接,各干各的事,最终产生莫名其妙的冲突。

解决方法: >程序不能完全保证在fork进程之前,父进程不会创建redis连接实例。因此,要解决这个问题只能靠子进程本身了。试想一下,如果在子进程中获 取的实例只与当前进程相关,那么这个问题就不存在了。于是解决方案就是稍微改造一下redis类实例化的静态方式,与当前进程ID绑定起来。

改造后的代码如下:

<ol class="dp-j"><li class="alt"><span><span><php </span></span></li><li><span>     <span class="keyword">public</span><span> </span><span class="keyword">static</span><span> function getInstance() { </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>          <span class="keyword">static</span><span> $instances = array(); </span></span></li><li><span>          $key = getmypid();<span class="comment">//获取当前进程ID</span><span> </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>          <span class="keyword">if</span><span> ($empty($instances[$key])) { </span></span></li><li><span>               $inctances[$key] = <span class="keyword">new</span><span> self(); </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>          } </span></li><li><span> </span></li><li class="alt"><span>          <span class="keyword">return</span><span> $instances[$key]; </span></span></li><li><span>     } </span></li></ol>

PHP统计脚本执行时间

因为想知道每个进程花费的时间是多少,因此写个函数统计脚本执行时间:

<ol class="dp-j"><li class="alt"><span><span>function microtime_float() </span></span></li><li><span>{ </span></li><li class="alt"><span>     list($u_sec, $sec) = explode(<span class="string">' '</span><span>, microtime()); </span></span></li><li><span>     <span class="keyword">return</span><span> (floatval($u_sec) + floatval($sec)); </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span>} </span></li><li><span> </span></li><li class="alt"><span>$start_time = microtime_float(); </span></li><li><span> </span></li><li class="alt"><span><span class="comment">//do something</span><span> </span></span></li><li><span>usleep(<span class="number">100</span><span>); </span></span></li><li class="alt"><span> </span></li><li><span>$end_time = microtime_float(); </span></li><li class="alt"><span>$total_time = $end_time - $start_time; </span></li><li><span> </span></li><li class="alt"><span>$time_cost = sprintf(<span class="string">"%.10f"</span><span>, $total_time); </span></span></li><li><span> </span></li><li class="alt"><span>echo <span class="string">"program cost total "</span><span> . $time_cost . </span><span class="string">"s\n"</span><span>; </span></span></li></ol>
