Web Scraping with Laravel: Goutte or Guzzle?

What is the difference between Goutte and Guzzle? I did some scrap with Guzzle and I manage to get things like StatusCode, Header.

Now I need a title of the page (which is child elem of head) and I understand that to do that I need Goutte.

Is it possible to retrieve such node elements also with Guzzle?

You don't necessarily need guzzle to open the Web page. Guzzle makes http requests like the one you need to open the Web page. Goutte could also open a Web page with a different approach which may fail. After opening the page guzzle is useless where goutte allows you to go through the Dom structure
