I'm not the most knowledgeable when dealing with scraping/getting data from a website, so apologies in advance. I have loaded in the HTML file locally, into my project so that I can have a reference and breakdown of the elements:
<div class="price">99</div>
<div class="size">M</div>
I want to select both these div classes, name and price and extract the value(s) which are 99 and M accordingly, how can I do this? I looked at SwiftSoups
let elements = try doc.select("[name=transaction_id]") // query
let transaction_id = try elements.get(0) // select first element
let value = try transaction_id.val() // get value
But that gave me an error. I can see you can select <P> tags, which are paragraphs, but how do I select the specific div class?
Once again, apologies if this is a beginner question.
Thank you.
Edit - The data I wish to parse:
var pstats = {att1:85,att2:92,att3:91,att4:95,att5:38,att6:65,acceleration:91,agility:91,balance:95,jumping:68,reactions:94,sprintspeed:80,stamina:72,strength:69,aggression:44,positioning:93,tactaware:40,vision:95,ballcontrol:96,crossing:85,curve:93,dribbling:96,finishing:95,fkacc:94,headingacc:70,longpass:91,longshot:94,marking:32,penalties:75,shortpass:91,shotpower:86,slidetackle:24,standingtackle:35,volleys:88,composure:96};
Edit 2 - New data I want to parse:
<div style="display: none;" id="player_stats_json">{"test":0,"ppace":85,"pshooting":92,"ppassing":91,"pdribbling":95,"pdefending":38,"pphysical":65,"acceleration":91,"sprintspeed":80,"agility":91,"balance":95,"reactions":94,"ballcontrol":96,"dribbling":96,"positioning":93,"finishing":95,"shotpower":86,"longshotsaccuracy":94,"volleys":88,"penalties":75,"interceptions":40,"headingaccuracy":70,"marking":32,"standingtackle":35,"slidingtackle":24,"vision":95,"crossing":85,"freekickaccuracy":94,"shortpassing":91,"longpassing":91,"curve":93,"jumping":68,"stamina":72,"strength":69,"aggression":44,"composure":96}</div>
If these tags have unique classes you can use getElementsByClass(_:) function and then get the first item, like this:
let price = try doc.getElementsByClass("price").first()?.text()
let size = try doc.getElementsByClass("size").first()?.text()
