I want to use artoo.js to scrape the website https://quotes.toscrape.com/ For handling pagination, I can do it! But for crawling the website ie for each page scrape the quotes and authors. Then take the link of the author and scrape the dob and pob for example. Finally handle the pagination.
Any help is much appreciated, here's my code:
var base_url = 'https://quotes.toscrape.com';
// empty list init
var my_list = []
// define the logic of the first scraper
var scraper1 = {
iterator: 'div.quote',
data: {
'quotes': {
sel: 'span'
},
'author': {
sel: 'small.author'
},
'link': {
sel: 'a',
attr: 'href'
}
}
};
// define the logic of the second scraper
var scraper2 = {
iterator: 'div.author-details',
data: {
'dob': {
sel: 'span.author-born-date'
},
'pob': {
sel: 'span.author-born-location'
}
}
}
// pagination
function nextUrl($page) {
return $page.find('li.next > a').attr('href');
}
artoo.log.debug('Starting the scraper...');
var frontpage = artoo.scrape(scraper1);
// spider
var my_list = []
// artoo spider
function pagination() {
artoo.ajaxSpider(
function(i, $data) {
//console.log($data.innerHTML);
return nextUrl(!i ? artoo.$(document) : $data);
}, {
limit: 1, // number of pages to scrape
scrape: scraper1,
concat: true,
done: function(data) {
artoo.log.debug('Finished retrieving data. Downloading...');
console.log(data);
for (var i = 0; i < my_list.length; i++) {
my_list.push(base_url + data[i].link)
}
console.log(my_list)
}
})
return my_list;
}
// Append links in a list
//my_list.push(base_url + data[0].link);
function crawl(mylist) {
artoo.ajaxSpider(
my_list, {
limit: 1, // number of pages to scrape
scrape: scraper2,
concat: true,
done: function(data) {
console.log(data);
artoo.log.debug('Finished retrieving data. Downloading...');
}
})
}
//var ll = null;
let links = pagination();
crawl(links)
