Follow all links within a specific container

[cloud1250x4]

Hi,

Your project is really interesting! I was wondering if it was possible to make it follow link within a specific container in the first loaded page? Or manually select which links to follow...

First loaded page ->
----> Container with links that we wanna scrape
We scrape main info here/
----------> Container in the page that contains link that we want to scrape (different then first page)
We scrape the rest of the info here/

Since the links doesn't follow any particularity... (domain.com/abc1, domain.com/cba2)
is it possible to use your project in such a manner?

Thank you!

hi, sorry for the late reply. you could manually handle the queuing of urls by removing the recurseextension.

doing so would mean that the clawler would only crawl a single url unless you added more urls manually, you can use the links extension to extract links from pages and then use spider.queue.add() to add them to the queue.

since you have control there you can decide which urls get added.

for a complete example, see the recurse extension source: see https://github.com/missinglink/huntsman/blob/master/lib/extension/recurse.js
