What it does

PhearJS is an API for PhantomJS. It

PhearJS renders dynamic webpages using PhantomJS : fetch a page, render it and return a pretty, machine-readable JSON object. Many websites rely on Javascript for data via AJAX and front-end rendering. When a machine (e.g. curl ) requests such a page it only 'sees' an empty page. This is a problem when you want to get a static copy of a dynamic page, e.g. for SEO purposes, web scraping or data mining. PhearJS fixes this by rendering pages in a headless PhantomJS browser and returning a fancy JSON object containing the rendered page + meta data about the response. PhearJS is fully open source, so you can run it on your own server. The internet is a messy place and exceptions aren't rare.…from phear.io
