Example Use


```javascript const Crawler = require('crawler'); const c = new Crawler({ maxConnections: 10, // This will be called for each crawled page callback: (error, res, done) => { if (error) { console.log(error); } else { const $ = res.$; // $ is Cheerio by default //a lean implementation of core jQuery designed specifically for the server console.log($('title').text()); } done(); } }); // Queue just one URL, with default callback c.queue('http://www.amazon.com'); // Queue a list of URLs c.queue(['http://www.google.com/','http://www.yahoo.com']); // Queue URLs with custom callbacks & parameters c.queue([{ uri: 'http://parishackers.org/', jQuery: false, // The global callback won't be called callback: (error, res, done) => { if (error) { console.log(error); } else { console.log('Grabbed', res.body.length, 'bytes'); } done(); } }]); // Queue some HTML code directly without grabbing (mostly for tests) c.queue([{ html: '

This is a test

' }]); ```
```go // This example extracts all quotes from quotes.toscrape.com and exports to JSON file. func main() { geziyor.NewGeziyor(&geziyor.Options{ StartURLs: []string{"http://quotes.toscrape.com/"}, ParseFunc: quotesParse, Exporters: []export.Exporter{&export.JSON{}}, }).Start() } func quotesParse(g *geziyor.Geziyor, r *client.Response) { r.HTMLDoc.Find("div.quote").Each(func(i int, s *goquery.Selection) { g.Exports <- map[string]interface{}{ "text": s.Find("span.text").Text(), "author": s.Find("small.author").Text(), } }) if href, ok := r.HTMLDoc.Find("li.next > a").Attr("href"); ok { g.Get(r.JoinURL(href), quotesParse) } } ```
