website-scraper-phantom

Plugin for website-scraper which returns html for dynamic websites using PhantomJS.

This module is an Open Source Software maintained by one developer in free time.

Requirements

• nodejs version >= 8
• website-scraper

Installation

git clone https://github.com/s-codes14/node-website-scrapper.git

git clone https://github.com/S-codes14/phantom-scrape-plugin.git

Usage

const scrape = require('./website-scraper');
const PhantomPlugin = require('./phantom-scrape-plugin');

scrape({
    urls: ['https://www.instagram.com/sbongumusas/'],
    directory: '/path/to/save',
    plugins: [ new PhantomPlugin() ]
});

How it works

It starts PhantomJS which just opens page and waits when page is loaded. It is far from ideal because probably you need to wait until some resource is loaded or click some button or log in. Currently this module doesn't support such functionality.
