This example demonstrates a web scraper that extracts product listings from Taobao search results for the query “尿裤” (diapers). It uses Selenium’s Firefox driver in headless mode to load the page, then parses the HTML with BeautifulSoup to collect item titles and href links from div elements with the class `ctx-box`. The code also shows how to follow a scraped link with `requests.get` and inspect the final URL after redirects, though it does not visualize the scraped data itself. The script includes commented alternatives for PhantomJS, which is deprecated.

This example shows a dynamic, browser-automated web-scraping workflow that captures rendered page content. It uses Selenium’s `webdriver` to launch a Chrome browser, wait for elements via `WebDriverWait` and `expected_conditions`, and then extracts page HTML with BeautifulSoup. The script programmatically sends keyboard inputs via `Keys`, and also employs the `requests` library for direct HTTP calls. It parses the returned data with `json`, timestamps actions with `datetime`, and structures results into a pandas DataFrame. The process includes randomized delays (`random` and `time`) to mimic human browsing behavior, though no explicit visualization or rendering library is used beyond the raw captured markup.

[百度/维基百科爬虫]给定一个词条，去百度和维基百科中直接查找 #爬虫

This example demonstrates a Python web crawler that queries Baidu Baike and Chinese Wikipedia for a given search term, falling back to Google Search and the English Wikipedia to locate a corresponding Chinese article. The script uses `requests` with custom user-agent headers and proxy settings, and `BeautifulSoup` (`bs`) to parse HTML. It fetches Baidu pages directly when available, and for Wikipedia, it locates the English entry via Google, extracts the Chinese interlanguage link, and retrieves that page. The visualization shows the logic and branching of these HTTP requests.

[百度百科简介内容解析] #爬虫

This example parses the summary table from Baidu Baike encyclopedia pages to extract short names, abbreviations, and foreign-company division names. It uses the BeautifulSoup library to locate the HTML element with class `basic-info cmn-clearfix`, then a helper function `get_baike_shorten_names` finds a definition term (like `dt` for “英文名”) and retrieves its sibling `dd` value, cleaning out bracketed reference numbers with a regular expression. The code demonstrates a reusable scraping pattern for structured infobox data from Baidu Baike, returning the cleaned text or an empty string when no match is found.

This example shows a browser-based text analytics pipeline that scrapes and processes web content before visualizing topic models. The code first uses Selenium with Chrome WebDriver to scrape data, then applies NLP libraries including NLTK, spaCy, TextBlob, and gensim’s LdaModel for topic modeling and coherence scoring. The final visualization employs Plotly’s `plotly.express` and `plotly.graph_objs` to render interactive charts, with `pyo.init_notebook_mode()` enabling notebook display. The rendering approach is evident from the use of `go` traces and `px` figures, though the specific chart type is not shown in the code snippet. The data source is dynamic web pages, as indicated by the Selenium scraping logic.

use chrome to crawl

This example demonstrates automated web crawling and interaction using Chrome's remote interface. The code navigates through URLs from a seed list, captures page HTML and window environment variables, and programmatically clicks all elements with click event listeners. It manages JavaScript dialogs and navigation timeouts, while logging errors. It relies on Chrome's Remote Interface (CDP), along with Bluebird for promise handling, and custom detectors for JS library identification.

This example demonstrates automated UI testing for a web application’s navigation and search features. The code uses the WebDriver API via the `wd` library with Mocha and async.js to simulate user interactions. It verifies that the top-level category “Terveys” appears in the service tree, that the typeahead suggestions show “Kallion kirjasto,” and that a full search returns that same result. The tests rely on XPath and CSS selectors to locate elements and assert their displayed text.

URL list from Tuesday, Sep. 15 2015 17:53 PM

This web scraper gathers a list of URLs from a Twitter timeline on a specific date, capturing tweets and their links. The page displays the raw scraped data as a plain text list, with each entry pairing the tweet author and content with the corresponding URL. The code uses Python’s `requests` and `BeautifulSoup` to parse the HTML, extracting the tweet text and hyperlinks. The output is a simple, unstyled text file, revealing the collected social media links without any further visualization or filtering.

This example automates interactions with William Hill’s betting site using Selenium WebDriver, specifically targeting two promotional games: “Free or Four” and “Scratch of the Day.” The script logs in via environment variables for credentials, then navigates to each game’s URL, clicks through modal popups or iframes, and triggers the game’s main action—such as clicking a card or a summary button. The code relies on explicit XPath selectors and waits, while using Chrome in headless mode. It demonstrates UI automation for repeated tasks, though it does not show any data visualization or rendering API.
