Description: This is a small example that illustrates the
simplicity of obtaining and scraping data from the Web using
Node.js. It is, unsurprisingly, even easier when using libraries.
This example only uses request for downloading the HTML data from
the website, and cheerio jQuery to parse this data.
Example Procedure:
> const scraper = require('scp-scrape');
> let entry; scraper('http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-002').then((res) => { entry = res; console.log('done'); });
Promise { <pending> }
done
> scraper.print(entry)

Item #: SCP-002
Object Class: Euclid
-
SCP-002 is to remain connected to a suitable power supply at all times, to keep it in what appears
to be a recharging mode. In case of electrical outage, the emergency barrier between the object and
the facility is to be closed and the immediate area evacuated. Once facility power is
re-established, alternating bursts of X-ray and ultraviolet light must strobe the area until
SCP-002 is re-affixed to the power supply and returned to recharging mode. Containment area is to
be kept at negative air pressure at all times.
