I've been exploring Github but could not find a well mantained framework (or at least updated to last month).
- jwarren 12y agoI found a tutorial making it look pretty easy to do with Mechanize: http://readysteadycode.com/howto-scrape-websites-with-ruby-and-mechanize http://readysteadycode.com/howto-scrape-websites-with-ruby-a... Note, not tried this myself!
- joeyspn 12y agoI've always used Mechanize+BeautifulSoup in Python.. I think Mechanize has also a ruby lib...
- wc- 12y agoCheck out Mechanize: https://github.com/sparklemotion/mechanize https://github.com/sparklemotion/mechanize I haven't used the ruby version but I am pretty happy with the python port of it. It's lighter and faster than phantom, but it won't do javascript interpretation.
- findjashua 12y agoWhile I haven't tried any, I think if you want to handle dynamic Javascript content, you'd have to go with a JS library. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
- riffraff 12y agoyou can do it in pure ruby with one of the webkit wrappers (i.e. poltergeist[0]) [0] https://github.com/teampoltergeist/poltergeist https://github.com/teampoltergeist/poltergeist)
