x-ray is a Node.js web scraping library that lets you define flexible schemas to structure data from any website using jQuery-like selectors. It supports pagination, crawling, throttling, and pluggable drivers such as HTTP and PhantomJS.
Use cases
- scrape structured data from web pages into json
- crawl a blog and extract post titles and links with pagination
- extract product listings from an e-commerce site
- scrape a website without writing raw cheerio code
- stream scraped pages to a file incrementally
- scrape javascript-rendered pages with a phantomjs driver
When to choose
- you want a declarative schema-based scraping api in node.js
- you need pagination and crawling built into your scraper
- you want composable selectors with throttling and limits
When to avoid
- you need a full headless browser like puppeteer or playwright for complex sites
- you are scraping in python or another non-node language
- you need actively developed bleeding-edge scraping features
