API

The module provides the following methods:

• webtojson(required)
• extend(optional)
• add(optional)
• getData or saveFile(required)

webtojson

webtojson(urls, selector, option); webtojson method can grab single page data;

• urls: string | array | collection The url address of the content to be crawled. It can be a single url or multiple;(required)
• selector: object specifies the content to be crawled;(required)
• option: object configuration item(optional)
  • paging: paging configuration(optional)
    • pageNum: total pages
    • offset: number offset of each page
    • keyword: keyword corresponding to string url
  • headers: request header settings(optional)
    • User-Agent: Specify useragent(optional)
    • Cookie: Make a cookie. For example, some search engines need to provide cookies to have results (optional)

Urls supports three types of strings, arrays, and collections:

When urls is a string, only the content of a single url is crawled. as follows:

webtosjon ("https://www.google.com/search?q=node", selector, option);

When urls is an array, it will grab all the url addresses in the array and merge all the values together. as follows:

webtosjon (["https://www.google.com/search?q=node", "https://www.google.com/search?q=javascript"], selector, option);

When urls is the collection, object url field will be used and all values are merged together. as follows:

webtosjon ([
     {
       title: "search node",
       url: "https://www.google.com/search?q=node",
     }, {
       title: "search javasript",
       url: "https://www.google.com/search?q=javascript",
     }
], selector, option);

The following is a form of selector:

{
    id: ".typecont span a",
    title: ".typecont span a",
    url: ".typecont span a"
}

selector is of the form key / value, key is the attribute name of the final json, and value is the attribute value of json;

value has two types: String and Function;

When value is String, it is a selector similar to jquery, and the content of the selector corresponding to the dom node is used as the json attribute value.

When value is Function, the value that the function runs as the json attribute value; something like this:

{
    id: ".typecont",
    title: ".typecont span a",
    url: function ($, parentEle) {
        return $(parentEle) .find("a"). attr("href");
    }
}

The function has two parameters:

• $: jquery $
• parentEle: parent element node, select child nodes based on parent element;

extend(selector) or extend(url, selector)

Data from other pages will be captured and merged with previous data;

There are two different parameters for extend:

extend(selector): if there is only a selector parameter, the value of the previous data url field will be used to ;

extend(url, selector): same as webtojson function parameters;

var googleData = await webtojson(
"Https://www.google.com/search?q=node",
      {
        id: ".g",
        title: ".g .r h3",
        url: ".g .r a"
      }).extend({
        content: "title"
      }).getData();

extend merges the search list name with the contents of each name;

add(selector) or add(url, selector)

Add information on the basis of previous data, parameters are consistent with extend method;

var googleData = await webtojson(
"Https://www.google.com/search?q=node",
      {
        id: ".g",
        title: ".g .r h3",
        url: ".g .r a"
      }).add({
        content: "title"
      }).getData();

getData()

Get data for the entire chain;

saveFile(filePath)

Save the data as a file

var googleData = await webtojson("https://www.google.com/search?q=node", {
    id: ".g",
    title: ".g .r h3",
    url: ""
}).saveFile("./google.json");
