ScraperJs

Requirements:

Have installed NodeJs in your machine, in this case we check that the application works with the version 14.15.3 and also with the LTS version of NodeJs 16.13.2.

To start

Create a folder for your project, here you can take the two options that I describe to you later on:

From zero:

npm init
npm install axios cheerio

Cloning the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Luis4609/Web-Scraper-JS.git
npm install 

Run NodeJs:

node scraper.js

Description of the project:

In this project we use two NodeJs libraries to create the scraper. The first one is Axios, we this we can get all the HTML code from a website. We use this HTML with the second librarie, Cheerio, this one is a implementation of jQuery and now we can search for the element that we want. In this case, we search for the names of the differents products that we can see in the website. To get the result, we filter using the CSS class of the element that we identified as the name of the product and we save it in an array.
