EYWebScraper

An helper for scraping contents of web pages using hardcoded or GitHub gist hosted JavaScript code.

GitHub gist is especially useful if scraping code needs to be updated due to often layout changes on the target web page.

Usage

• With GitHub gist: (example gist erkanyildiz/1b58dc431407093dfd7a2437a9563c68)

//Specify GitHub gist that contains JavaScript code to be used for scraping in `username/gistid` format.

NSString* gist = @"erkanyildiz/1b58dc431407093dfd7a2437a9563c68";

[EYWebScraper scrape:@"https://example.com" usingGist:gist completion:^(NSString* result, NSError* error)
{
    if (!error)
        NSLog(@"Result: %@", result);
    else
        NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
}];
    

• With hardcoded JavaScript code:

//Or specify hardcoded JavaScript code

NSString* script = @"return document.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href;";

[EYWebScraper scrape:@"https://www.example.com" usingJS:script completion:^(NSString* result, NSError* error)
{
    if (!error)
        NSLog(@"Result: %@", result);
    else
        NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
}];
