Live web scrapping with JS

Despite the popular clam (irony) after my previous post of live debugging with nodelive, I will keep sharing the software I wrote.

First, install web2os.

$ npm i -g web2os 

And then, write your first scrap, to... (muaaahahahaha!!) Google search:

require("web2os") .create() .open("https://www.google.com") .onWeb((done, error) => { done(document.title); }) .onOs((done, error, data) => { require("fs").writeFile( "Google title.txt", data, "utf8", ()=> done() ); }) .run(() => { console.log("DONE!"); }); 

Then we have to run it. We need electron for that. If you have it installed, proceed (otherwise, install it and proceed):

electron scrap.js 

A Chrome browser will open and (muahahahahaha) start to obey your code.

Happy coding.
