使用 Python 抓取网页的 JavaScript 页面 [英] Web-scraping JavaScript page with Python
问题描述
I'm trying to develop a simple web scraper. I want to extract text without the HTML code. In fact, I achieve this goal, but I have seen that in some pages where JavaScript is loaded I didn't obtain good results.
For example, if some JavaScript code adds some text, I can't see it, because when I call
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
I get the original text without the added one (because JavaScript is executed in the client).
So, I'm looking for some ideas to solve this problem.
EDIT Sept 2021: phantomjs isn't maintained any more, either
EDIT 30/Dec/2017: This answer appears in top results of Google searches, so I decided to update it. The old answer is still at the end.
dryscape isn't maintained anymore and the library dryscape developers recommend is Python 2 only. I have found using Selenium's python library with Phantom JS as a web driver fast enough and easy to get the work done.
Once you have installed Phantom JS, make sure the phantomjs binary is available in the current path:
phantomjs --version
# result:
2.1.1
#Example To give an example, I created a sample page with following HTML code. (link):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Javascript scraping test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p id='intro-text'>No javascript support</p>
<script>
document.getElementById('intro-text').innerHTML = 'Yay! Supports javascript';
</script>
</body>
</html>
without javascript it says: No javascript support and with javascript: Yay! Supports javascript
#Scraping without JS support:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
response = requests.get(my_url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text)
soup.find(id="intro-text")
# Result:
<p id="intro-text">No javascript support</p>
#Scraping with JS support:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
driver.get(my_url)
p_element = driver.find_element_by_id(id_='intro-text')
print(p_element.text)
# result:
'Yay! Supports javascript'
You can also use Python library dryscrape to scrape javascript driven websites.
#Scraping with JS support:
import dryscrape
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
session = dryscrape.Session()
session.visit(my_url)
response = session.body()
soup = BeautifulSoup(response)
soup.find(id="intro-text")
# Result:
<p id="intro-text">Yay! Supports javascript</p>
