Scraping from a website based on a search












0















Objective



In Java, I want to get the text output of the search result at https://pin1yin1.com/#我是英国人 enter image description here



What I've tried so far



Using JSoup, I've connected to the page, using Jsoup.connect("https://pin1yin1.com/#%E6%88%91%E6%98%AF%E8%8B%B1%E5%9B%BD%E4%BA%BA").get();



(the numbers and percents translate themselves into the Chinese characters)



Problem faced



When I run getAllElements() to see what it has scraped, the code is just for the landing page, i.e. what the user sees before doing the search, it doesn't pick up anything of the search result.

          I checked the website, you can get the data from their rest API directly, try below:



          Document doc = Jsoup.connect("https://pin1yin1.com/pinyin/convert/?c=%E6%88%91%E6%98%AF%E8%8B%B1%E5%9B%BD%E4%BA%BA").get();


          The response is below:



          <html>
          <head></head>
          <body>
          { "q": "我是英国人", "s": "我是英国人", "t": "我是英國人", "p":
          ["wo3","shi4","ying1","guo2","ren2"], "e": ["I; me; my","is; are; am; yes","British person"], "c": [1,1,3] }
          </body></html>

          • Inspect the page, a section will open up on the browser, go to the network tab. There you'll see the calls website makes. It consists of API calls made to the backend to fetch the data, download js and html files or images etc. @ChrisA
