A simple Node scraping application for reading data from websites
Often, websites containing interesting data do not provide data via the API mechanism, but publish this data as text on the website. There is a problem in downloading such data and the scraping technique is used to retrieve it. Web scraping is the process of extracting data from a specific web page. It involves making an HTTP request to a website’s server, downloading the page’s HTML and parsing it to extract the desired data
This application presents downloading data about books from an online store that does not provide data via API. The Node.js technology uses the popular Selenium scraping library. The procedure loads the original page into the browser and then analyzes the content of the HTML tags and extracts the data by entering it into the Console. This is a very simple version of scraping, but it works.
