Hey friends, I am here to share a query in javascript development forum, that how to scrap a website using nodejs which includes getting, parsing & extracting the content of a webpage . Read & share your views about scrapping the content of a website.
Web scraping is the technique of data extraction where you can pull data and information from the website. Node.js is the best tool for web scraping. Here are the three main steps of web scraping- 1. Getting the HTML source code from the website 2. Making sense of HTML content, finding the information and extracting it 3. Moving the finalize information to storage (textfile, database etc.)
Hi Ashish, Web scraper is going to be very minimalistic. The basic flow will be as follows: Launch web server Visit a URL on our server that activates the web scraper The scraper will make a request to the website we want to scrape The request will capture the HTML of the website and pass it along to our server We will traverse the DOM and extract the information we want Next, we will format the extracted data into a format we need Finally, we will save this formatted data into a JSON file on our machine
