google script webbot / screen scraper

I'm trying to put together a webbot/scraper using google script.

Here is a book teaching how to do it but it is in PHP.

http://www.amazon.com/Webbots-Spiders-Screen-Scrapers-Developing/dp/1593273975/ref=pd_sim_b_3

Now, I know you can use PHP and link it into google spreadsheets. But i don't want to do that. I want everything to be in google script. Even running PHP in google script is ok. I just want to keep everything in the cloud.

Does anybody know the best way to approach this? Which libraries best to use? etc.

Thanks.

You should look at the UrlFetch Services provided in Apps Script. There are numerous questions already here about using this service, so you should be able to find many relevant examples.
