Learn Web Scraping with Node.js

Use the Node modules Request and Cheerio to scrape data and display on a web page.

• We'll
  begin with an overview of how Request works to download pages and
  pipe out data.

• Next,
  we'll look at the Cheerio and how we can use jQuery-like syntax to
  retrieve elements off a page.

• Then we'll
  take what you've learned to create 2 sample web apps to scrape and
  display data first to our console then to a web page.

What You Will Learn:

- How to download web pages using Request.

- How to then grab elements from the page using Cheerio

- Display the data on a web page. First, we'll use Express and Swig to display Indeed job search data. Then we'll use Angular to show an image and other details after a user inputs a URL.

Who This Course is For:

- Anyone with an interest in web scraping using Node. This is a beginner level course, so the only requirement is that you already have node.js installed.
