Scraper

A quick scraper application with a functioning example.

Start

Install dependencies and run yarn develop.

Create your admin credentials on Strapi and create the first Scraper:

name: Jamstack.org
enabled: true
frequency: * * * * *

The cron tries to run the scraping code every minute, and:

• check if the Scraper is enabled before running;
• respects the frequency set;

The scraping is done with puppeteer and cherio and is at /scripts/scrapers. The content is saved to the Site generators model.

From here...

You can turn it into a generic website scraper or just modify the index.js file to your needs. Possibilities are endless...
