How can I scrape pages with dynamic content using node.js?
javascript, node.js, phantomjs, web-crawler
Solution
Here you go;
var phantom = require('phantom');
phantom.create(function (ph) {
ph.createPage(function (page) {
var url = "http://www.bdtong.co.kr/index.php?c_category=C02";
page.open(url, function() {
page.includeJs("http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js", function() {
page.evaluate(function() {
$('.listMain > li').each(function () {
console.log($(this).find('a').attr('href'));
});
}, function(){
ph.exit()
});
});
});
});
});
Problem
I am trying to scrape a website but I don't get some of the elements, because these elements are dynamically created. I use the cheerio in node.js and My code is below. ``` var request = require('request'); var cheerio = require('cheerio'); var url = "http://www.bdtong.co.kr/index.php?c_category=C02"; request(url, function (err, res, html) { var $ = cheerio.load(html); $('.listMain > li').each(function () { console.log($(this).find('a').attr('href')); }); }); ``` This code returns empty response, because when the page is loaded, the `<ul id="store_list" class="listMain">` is empty. The content has not been appended yet. How can I get these elements using node.js? How can I scrape pages with dynamic content?
