This example demonstrates how to fetch a Wikipedia page and inspect its HTTP response using Ruby’s standard Net::HTTP library. It shows the response code, message, and raw HTML body for the Harry Houdini article, with an `Accept` header requesting XML. The code prints each part to the console, illustrating basic web request handling without any data visualization or rendering.

Requesting data from the Github API

This example demonstrates a simple user-driven data request to the Wikipedia API. It shows how a text input and submit button trigger a `fetch` call to the opensearch endpoint, retrieving and displaying search results based on the submitted subject. The code uses the browser’s built-in `fetch` API to request JSON data, then logs the response and result titles to the console via chained `.then()` promises. The interface includes a loader placeholder and a result article, though the visible rendering of the results is minimal, focusing on the request-response flow.

This example demonstrates a web scraper that extracts detailed trail information from a hiking website. It shows how structured data can be programmatically retrieved from HTML pages, specifically pulling out features, overview, and description sections. The code uses the Nokogiri library to parse the document and XPath queries to locate the relevant heading elements. After extracting each section, it cleans the text by removing newlines and excess whitespace. The scraper returns a hash containing the three descriptive fields, making the data readily accessible for further processing or visualization.

This example uses a Ruby script to capture full-page screenshots of websites by automating a hidden WebView. It first loads a given URL, waits for the page to finish rendering, then saves the rendered content as a PNG file. The code leverages MacRuby’s WebKit framework, specifically `WebView` and `NSBitmapImageRep`, to render and capture the page. It supports optional width, height, delay, and output filename parameters, with a default width of 1024 pixels and a fallback to ruby-lang.org if no URL is provided.

This example demonstrates how to extract search result titles from Google using a simple Ruby script. It shows the top web page titles returned for the query “tenderlove,” printing each one to the console. The code uses Nokogiri to parse the HTML fetched via open-uri, selecting anchor elements with the class “l” inside heading tags. The script relies on Nokogiri’s `xpath` method and the `content` accessor to retrieve the visible text of each link, with no additional visualization or styling applied.

This example demonstrates a Tumblr API client in Ruby, showing how to fetch and model blog posts through a `Post` class that wraps raw post data in a `Hashie::Mash`. The code reveals the workflow of querying the Tumblr API via HTTParty, with support for pagination, post-type filtering, and direct lookup by ID. The visualization highlights the library’s role as an interface layer, not a rendering tool, as it contains no charting or drawing logic—instead, it focuses on data retrieval and object mapping. The example is purely code-based, with no visual output, emphasizing the API’s data-access patterns rather than graphical representation.

This example scrapes trail data from a website, extracting features, overview, and description sections into a structured hash. It uses Nokogiri to parse the HTML and XPath queries to locate the relevant headings and their adjacent content, cleaning the text by removing line breaks. The code demonstrates a straightforward scraping pattern for capturing semantic sections, though it does not include visualization logic or rendering libraries. The data source is a single trail page URL, and the output is a formatted description ready for further processing or display.

request-hn.js

This example scrapes the front page of Hacker News and prints a plain-text list of story titles and their links to the console. It uses the `request` library to fetch the HTML and `cheerio` to parse the DOM, selecting elements with the `.title a` selector. The data is collected into an array of objects with `text` and `href` properties, then logged via `console.log`. No visualization is rendered; the output is purely textual.

This example transforms a PmWiki source page into a searchable interface for code snippets. It fetches the page’s source via the `fetch` API, splits it into lines, and tokenizes text wrapped in `@@` delimiters. Each snippet becomes a clickable link that queries GitHub’s gist search for matches by the user “Utopiah”. The script uses `document.querySelectorAll` to locate existing `<code>` elements in the page and replaces their content with the generated anchor tags, while logging any unmatched snippets. It relies on vanilla DOM manipulation and URL construction, with no external visualization libraries.
