aimer

Remote web content crawler done right.

Motivation

Sometimes I want to grab some nice images from a url like bbs.005.tv/thread-4923…, so I made this little program to combine node-fetch and cheerio to make my attempt fulfilled. And it uses nightmare to handle SPAs.

Install

$ npm install --save aimer

Usage

const aimer = require('aimer')

aimer('http://some-url.com/a/b/c')
    .then($ => {
        $('img.nice-images').each(function () {
            const url = $(this).attr('src')
            console.log(url)
        })
    })

// or even single page website!
const nightmare = require('aimer/nightmare')
nightmare('http://some-url.com/#!/list')
  .then($ => {
    // your code goes here
  })
