XPath scraper allows you to scrape data from another website by parsing html using xpath.
How does it work:
- Download and enable XPath scraper module.
- Create new module that requires XPath scraper and put the configuration at {module_name}/src/Controller/ScraperConfigController.php.
Example:
kindly see xs_test which has the following files:
xs/modules/xs_test/xpath_scraper_test.info.yml
xs/modules/xs_test/xpath_scraper_test.services.yml
xs/modules/xs_test/src/Controller/ScraperConfigController.php
- Copy example module to your custom modules folder.
- Then rename EXAMPLE_WEBSITE with your target website.
- Feel free to edit configuration and follow comments.
- Add/remove fields configuration depend on content type and target website.
