node.js - How to scrape JSON from puppeteer? - Stack Overflow

[kemistep]

I login to a site and it gives a browser cookie.

I go to a URL and it is a json response.

How do I scrape the page after entering await page.goto('blahblahblah.json'); ?

Another way which doesn't give you intermittent issues is to evaluate the body when it becomes available and return it as JSON e.g.

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer'); 

async function run() {

    const browser = await puppeteer.launch( {
        headless: false  
    }); 

    const page = await browser.newPage(); 

    await page.goto('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/master/package.json');

    var content = await page.content(); 

    innerText = await page.evaluate(() =>  {
        return JSON.parse(document.querySelector("body").innerText); 
    }); 

    console.log("innerText now contains the JSON");
    console.log(innerText);

    
    

    await browser.close(); 

};

run();

You can intercept the network response, like this:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const fs = require('fs');
(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch()
  const page = await browser.newPage()
  page.on('response', async response => {
    console.log('got response', response._url)
    const data = await response.buffer()
    fs.writeFileSync('/tmp/response.json', data)
  })
  await page.goto('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/master/package.json', {waitUntil: 'networkidle0'})
  await browser.close()
})()
