I'm trying to get images or image addresses from the website below. It works for the one website that I put below: "http://www.1stsourceservall.com/Category/Accessories". However--once it's finished with the page--I want it to then click on the next page link and cycle through all 20+ pages. How would I do that?
require 'rubygems'
require 'nokogiri'
require 'open-uri'
url = "http://www.1stsourceservall.com/Category/Accessories"
while (url) do
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open(url))
puts doc.css(".productImageMed")
end
link = doc.css('.pagination a')
url = link && link[0]['href'] #=> url is nil if no link is found on the page
end

I want to get taobao's list of URL of products on search result page without taobao API.
I tried following Ruby script.
require "open-uri"
require "rubygems"
require "nokogiri"
url='https://world.taobao.com/search/search.htm?_ksTS=1517338530524_300&spm=a21bp.7806943.20151106.1&search_type=0&_input_charset=utf-8&navigator=all&json=on&q=%E6%99%BA%E8%83%BD%E6%89%8B%E8%A1%A8&cna=htqfEgp0pnwCATyQWEDB%2FRCE&callback=__jsonp_cb&abtest=_AB-LR517-LR854-LR895-PR517-PR854-PR895'
charset = nil
html = open(url) do |f|
charset = f.charset
f.read
end
doc = Nokogiri::HTML.parse(html, nil, charset)
p doc.xpath('//*[#id="list-itemList"]/div/div/ul/li[1]/div/div[1]/div/a/#href').each{|i| puts i.text}
# => 0

What should I do?
I don't know taobao.com but the page seems like its running lots of javascript. So perhaps the content can actually not be retrieved with a client without javascript capabilities. So instead of open-uri, you could try the gem selenium-webdriver:
https://rubygems.org/gems/selenium-webdriver/versions/2.53.4
I am trying to crawl a site and append a URL parameter to each address before hitting them. Here's what I have so far:
require "spidr"
Spidr.site('http://www.example.com/') do |spider|
spider.every_url { |url| puts url }
end
But I'd like the spider to hit all pages and append a param like so:
example.com/page1?var=param1
example.com/page2?var=param1
example.com/page3?var=param1
UPDATE 1 -
Tried this, not working though, errors out ("405 method not allowed") after a few iterations:
require "spidr"
require "open-uri"
Spidr.site('http://example.com') do |spider|
spider.every_url do |url|
link= url+"?foo=bar"
response = open(link).read
end
end
Instead of relying on Spidr, I just grabbed a CSV of the URLs I needed from Google Analytics, then ran thru those. Got the job done.
require 'csv'
require 'open-uri'
CSV.foreach(File.path("the-links.csv")) do |row|
link = "http://www.example.com"+row[0]+"?foo=bar"
encoded_url = URI.encode(link)
response = open(encoded_url).read
puts encoded_url
puts
end
I am parsing prada.com and would like to scrape data in the div class "nextItem" and get its name and price. Here is my code:
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
require 'nokogiri'
require 'open-uri'
agent = Mechanize.new
page = agent.get('http://www.prada.com/en/US/e-store/department/woman/handbags.html?cmp=from_home')
fp = File.new('prada_prices','w')
html_doc = Nokogiri::HTML(page)
page = html_doc.xpath("//ol[#class='nextItem']")
page.each do {|i| fp.write(i.text + "\n")}
end
I get an error and no output. What I think I am doing is instantiating a mechanize object and calling it agent.
Then creating a page variable and assigning it the url provided.
Then creating a variable that is a nokogiri object with the mechanize url passed in
Then searching the url for all class references that are titled nextItem
Then printing all the data contained there
Can someone show me where I might have went wrong?
Since Prada's website dynamically loads its content via JavaScript, it will be hard to scrape its content. See "Scraping dynamic content in a website" for more information.
Generally speaking, with Mechanize, after you get a page:
page = agent.get(page_url)
you can easily search items with CSS selectors and scrape for data:
next_items = page.search(".fooClass")
next_items.each do |item|
price = item.search(".fooPrice").text
end
Then simply handle the strings or generate hashes as you desire.
Here are the wrong parts:
Check again the block syntax - use {} or do/end but not both in the same time.
Mechanize#get returns a Mechanize::Page which act as a Nokogiri document, at least it has search, xpath, css. Use them instead of trying to coerce the document to a Nokogiri::HTML object.
There is no need to require 'open-uri', and require 'nokogiri' when you are not using them directly.
Finally check maybe more about Ruby's basics before continuing with web scraping.
Here is the code with fixes:
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
agent = Mechanize.new
page = agent.get('http://www.prada.com/en/US/e-store/department/woman/handbags.html?cmp=from_home')
fp = File.new('prada_prices','w')
page = page.search("//ol[#class='nextItem']").each do |i|
fp.write(i.text + "\n")
end
fp.close
I am trying to scrape this webpage, it have lazy load as we scroll it gets loaded. Using Nokogiri I am able to scrape the initial page, but not the rest of the page which load after scrolling.
To get lazy loaded page, scrap the following pages:
http://www.flipkart.com/mens-footwear/shoes/casual-shoes/pr?p%5B%5D=sort%3Dpopularity&sid=osp%2Ccil%2Cnit%2Ce1f&start=31&ajax=true
http://www.flipkart.com/mens-footwear/shoes/casual-shoes/pr?p%5B%5D=sort%3Dpopularity&sid=osp%2Ccil%2Cnit%2Ce1f&start=46&ajax=true
http://www.flipkart.com/mens-footwear/shoes/casual-shoes/pr?p%5B%5D=sort%3Dpopularity&sid=osp%2Ccil%2Cnit%2Ce1f&start=61&ajax=true
...
require 'rubygems'
require 'nokogiri'
require 'mechanize'
require 'open-uri'
number = 1
while true
url = "http://www.flipkart.com/mens-footwear/shoes" +
"/casual-shoes/pr?p%5B%5D=sort%3Dpopularity&" +
"sid=osp%2Ccil%2Cnit%2Ce1f&start=#{number}&ajax=true"
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open(url))
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(doc.at_css('#ajax').text)
products = doc.css(".browse-product")
break if products.size == 0
products.each do |item|
title = item.at_css(".fk-display-block,.title").text.strip
price = (item.at_css(".pu-final").text || '').strip
link = item.at_xpath(".//a[#class='fk-display-block']/#href")
image = item.at_xpath(".//div/a/img/#src")
puts number
puts "#{title} - #{price}"
puts "http://www.flipkart.com#{link}"
puts image
puts "========================"
number += 1
end
end
I am trying to follow a link with Mechanize but it does not seem to be working, syntax appears to be correct, am I referencing this incorrectly or do I need to do something else?
Problem area
agent.page.links_with(:text => 'VG278H')[2].click
Full Code
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
require 'open-uri'
agent = Mechanize.new
agent.get ("http://icecat.biz/en/")
#Show all form fields belonging to the first form
form = agent.page.forms[0].fields
#Enter VG278H into the text box lookup_text, submit the data
agent.page.forms[0]["lookup_text"] = "VG278H"
agent.page.forms[0].submit #Results of this is stored in Mechanize agent.page object
#Call agent.page with our results and assign them to a variable page
page = agent.page
agent.page.links_with(:text => 'VG278H')[2].click
doc = page.parser
puts doc
You should grab a copy of Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com/) or something that allows you to watch what happens when you submit the form from your browser. Anyway, your problem is that this part:
agent.page.forms[0]["lookup_text"] = "VG278H"
agent.page.forms[0].submit
is returning an html fragment that looks like this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><script>self.location.href="http://icecat.us/index.cgi?language=en&new_search=1&lookup_text=VG278H"</script>
So you actually need to call this directly or scrap out the the self.location.href and have your agent perform a get:
page = agent.get("http://icecat.us/index.cgi?language=en&new_search=1&lookup_text=VG278H")
If you were going to do that, this works:
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
require 'open-uri'
agent = Mechanize.new
agent.get ("http://icecat.biz/en/")
page = agent.get("http://icecat.us/index.cgi?language=en&new_search=1&lookup_text=VG278H")
page = page.links_with(:text => 'VG278H')[2].click
doc = page.parser
puts doc
Happy scraping
