// 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)
    }
}
library("ralger")

url <- "http://www.shanghairanking.com/rankings/arwu/2021"

# retrieve HTML and select elements using CSS selectors:
best_uni <- scrap(link = url, node = "a span", clean = TRUE)
head(best_uni, 5)
#>  [1] "Harvard University"
#>  [2] "Stanford University"
#>  [3] "University of Cambridge"
#>  [4] "Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)"
#>  [5] "University of California, Berkeley"

attributes <- attribute_scrap(
  link = "https://ropensci.org/",
  node = "a", # the a tag
  attr = "class" # getting the class attribute
)

head(attributes, 10) # NA values are a tags without a class attribute
#>  [1] "navbar-brand logo" "nav-link"          NA
#>  [4] NA                  NA                  "nav-link"
#>  [7] NA                  "nav-link"          NA
#> [10] NA
