Stellar crawler PHP

QuasarK

Stellar crawler PHP is a free and open source PHPlibrary that can be used to navigate through the stellar network.

You can find the source code on github:
https://github.com/HerveKoener/stellar-crawler-php

From a public key, you can check and find all transactions/operations of an account by using the "follow" method of the crawler links.

The live demo is here: http://quasark.dorefy.com/crawler-php/

You can choose if you want to display the data of the stellar crawler into a table or into a tree.

The output is difficult to read. the output should be reformated into some kind of table format to make it easier for a humans to follow. table output should also be sortable on colums. If the output was readable I think this might be useful in the end.

Ok, I will improve de readability in the next iteration.

The crawler has been improved. you can now display the data in a table if you want.

I like that you're working on a PHP library to expose information through horizon! Some quick notes and I'll do another pass next week:

the next and prev links for any given paged resource will probably get used a lot by other developers. Instead of forcing them to use $crawler->getlinks()['next']->follow(); everywhere, give a helper methods like $crawler->followNext() and $crawler->followPrev() to make the common case easier to know about.
the "I want free XLM" link is a turn off. Explain more what you're requesting from users.
allow other devs to specify the horizon server to communicate with. We discourage production integrations from using our public infrastructure (horizon.stellar.org) because we aren't a large organization with a dedicated ops team. Those servers aren't going to provide 7 9's of uptime if you catch my drift.

Hi , I have updated the Crawler.
Now you can use followNext(), followPrev() and followBack().

The API provides also a new way to instanciate de crawler by using:
StellarCrawler::newInstance($publicKey, $isPublicNetwork);
or
StellarCrawler::newInstanceWithServer($publicKey, $horizonServer);

The documentation has been updated and you can now use Composer or the phar file to include the library to your projects.

Thank you very much for your remarks.
