Scraping the Web With Node.js

Before web based API's became the prominent way of sharing data between services we had web scraping. Web scraping is a technique in data extraction where you pull information from websites.

There are many ways this can be accomplished. It can be done manually by copy and pasting data from a website, using specialized software, or building your own scripts to scrape data. In this tutorial, we will be showing you how to build a simple web scraper that gets some general movie information from IMDB. The technologies we will be using to accomplish this are:

- NodeJS: A back end JS framework.

- ExpressJS: The Node framework that everyone uses and loves.

- Request: Helps us make HTTP calls.

- Cheerio: Implementation of core jQuery specifically for the server (helps us traverse the DOM and extract data).
