I trying to scrape google trends using this RSS feed link
However I couldn't able to get the element with tag name <ht:picture_source>..</ht:picture_source>.
I tried the below code :
$(".trigger").on("click",function() {
$.ajax({
url: "https://trends.google.co.in/trends/trendingsearches/daily/rss?geo=US",
dataType: 'text',
success: function(data) {
let post_count = $(data).find('title').length;
for(let counter = 1; counter < post_count; counter++) {
let image = $(data).find('ht:picture').eq(counter).text();
console.log(image);
}
}
});
});
I get undefined or empty on the console.
Someone already checked this up on GigHub 2 years ago.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Special characters like : need to be escaped in jQuery selectors.
let image = $('body').find('ht\\:picture_source').eq(0).text();
console.log(image);<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ht:picture_source>Text</ht:picture_source>
