How to parse a post from a VK page?

Question

PHP

Good afternoon, I had such a whim - to parse a post from my VK page using php.
For example, there is a link to the post, I insert it and after the script copies the text of my post and the picture.
Then it inserts the data into the database.
I don’t understand a little how I can implement this, but I tried to search in search engines about this, but I can’t find anything similar, I decided to ask you.
