Node.js-IMDB-Scraper, can be extended for other websites.

Scrape IMDB using Node.js

This application can be used to scrape any website by changing the website URL and DOM elements accordingly.

Steps to run the application:

replace the movie url with the URL that you want to scrape and change your DOM parsing technique.

npm install

node server1.js

http://localhost:8081/scrape [in your local browser to see the final json file generated ]

Tech Stack:

  1. It uses Express JS as the node framework
  2. It uses cheerio which is an implementation of core jQuery especially for the server (used to render, manipulate the DOM).
  3. It uses Request to make HTTP calls to the URL which will be scraped.

Keep these dependencies in your package.json file.

Please raise issues if found.
