Qurl is a drop-in and easy to deploy microservice who exposes an HTTP API you can use to extract content from any web page as JSON. Any information available at a given public URL can be extracted using selector queries (check examples below).
Example:
$ curl -s 'http://localhost:8080/q?url=https://example.com&header=Content-Type&selector=meta' | json_pp
{
"url" : "https://example.com",
"status" : 200,
"selectors" : {
"meta" : [
{
"text" : "",
"attributes" : [
{
"key" : "charset",
"value" : "utf-8"
}
]
},
{
"text" : "",
"attributes" : [
{
"key" : "name",
"value" : "viewport"
},
{
"key" : "content",
"value" : "width=device-width, initial-scale=1"
}
]
}
]
},
"headers" : {
"Content-Type" : [
"text/html; charset=utf-8"
]
}
}
