I'm an expert at web scraping in Python but JS was confusing for me until I found this tutorial. I've scoured the internet for a good tutorial on JS web scraping and you knocked it out of the park! Thanks!

Straight forward, to the point, clean and crisp code... love it!

[danielvega]

Highly recommended

It is a MYSTERY that your code @ 10:10 works.
The variable 'url' in 'const response = await axios.get(url);' is not defined.
But for some reason you get some output. I would expect an error.
This is hilarious!

[anuradhabarnwal]

Most understandable and informative video this is... really appreciated your work...

[whatislove]

I use fetch instead of axios, it works too!

const response = await fetch(url);
const html = await response.text();
const $ = cheerio.load(html);

Hi, I created a spider in nodejs, it's crawling page by page but it's very slow, 0.3 seconds for each page .. why is that ?

[MultiversX]

How would you return the value and not just console.log it? Great video! It really was much simpler than expected!

[SaintBrisa]

for whatever reason, I don't know why it can't save the data and create the books.csv file. Great video, precise and straightforward

[maestrorobi]

Nice! How can I make it automated to web scrape the same data daily or a different schedule?

[bryansuarez]

For whatever reason at 10:14 I get a 404 error with axios, where it is not returning the second page. With the lines used at 10:14.

I am attempting to scrape a site that tells my scraper that it's not a supported browser, doesn't support JS etc. The User Agent the scraper is sending is a valid/normal Chrome agent string. I can load the page in a legit browser and inspect everything, but I cannot save the page as HTML nor right click and select View Source. Scraping, viewing source or saving as HTML all result in the same error page saying I'm not a supported browser. Anyone can help me get this page scraped? Thanks
