In this video we go over how to extract data from a website using the Chrome Inspector. You can use any inspector on any modern internet browser to do this, I just prefer Chrome
Query to get all values:
title: el.querySelector("._eYtD2XCVieq6emjKBH3m").innerText, url: el.querySelector(".SQnoC3ObvgnGjWt90zD9Z") != null ? el.querySelector(".SQnoC3ObvgnGjWt90zD9Z") != null.href : null, user: el.querySelector("._2tbHP6ZydRpjI44J3syuqC") != null ? el.querySelector("._2tbHP6ZydRpjI44J3syuqC").innerText : null, subreddit: el.querySelectorAll("._3ryJoIoycVkA88fy40qNJc")[1] != null ? el.querySelectorAll("._3ryJoIoycVkA88fy40qNJc")[1].innerText : null
Download:
let bb = new Blob([valString], { type: 'text/plain' });
let a = document.createElement('a');
a.download = 'download.txt';
a.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(bb);
a.click();
Spreadsheet:
copy(vals.map(val ... `=SPLIT("${val.url},${val.title}", ",")`).join("\n"))
the ... above is an arrow function
