scraping-app

A small express.js app to scrap contents from infogreffe.fr and societe.com and rendeer it in a handsontable view and easily copy and paste it to your favorite spreadsheet software (Excel, Google Sheets, Open/LibreOffice Calc, ...)

• Node.js
• Bower

You can try the app online at this address : http://scrap.bdevaux.com/

Simply paste the URL of the company which you want to get information (both from societe.com and infogreffe.fr) and click "Scrap !".

After processing all the available information will appear in a Handsontable view, allowing you to select the relevant information and copy it to any other program (likely to be Excel, Google Sheet or Open/LibreOffice Calc)

The interface (index.html) contains javascript code making AJAX call to the server side.

The server is an express.js app that retrieves the two URLs from the front-end client, and uses request, jsdom and jQuery to load the pages and scrap the relevant content.

It then sends it back to the interface which displays it in a Handsontable view.
