I've written a script to get all the reviews, reviewer names and ratings from yelp using their api. My below script can produce the three reviews, reviewer names and ratings from that api. However, I can see 44 of such reviews in that landing page where I collected their api from using chrome dev tools. How can i get all of them?
link to the landing page
This is my try:
import requests
res = requests.get("https://eatstreet.com/api/v2/restaurants/40225?yelp_site=")
name = res.json()['name']
for texualreviews in res.json()['yelpReviews']:
reviewtext = texualreviews['message']
revname = texualreviews['reviewerName']
rating = texualreviews['rating']
print(f'{name}\n{reviewtext}\n{revname}\n{rating}\n')
As I said earlier: my above script can produce three of the reviews whereas there are 44 of them. How can i grab them all?
Screenshot of those reviews (location to find them in that landing page).
Yelp's own API doesn't allow for query of more than 3 reviews; for whatever reason they limit the amount of reviews you can get (the same way Google limits their API to displaying only 5 reviews). If you are scraping, scrape the Yelp page directly; the site which you are hitting is using the API to display 3 reviews (the max) with a call back directly to that locations Yelp site (where all the reviews are shown); there is sadly no native way to extract all the reviews from Yelp;
The API URL You queried off Google's Developer Tools inspector in Chrome (https://eatstreet.com/api/v2/restaurants/40225?yelp_site=) is calling on Fusion's (Yelp's API) to pull the yelpReviews array in the JSON; limited to 3 by default, even if you were to register your own Fusion app you won't be able to pull more than 3 reviews, that's a hard cap set by Yelp.
You could search for some makeshift scripts out there though, I've seen many people make attempts to create libraries for pulling review data where the API's are limited. A good example is one I wrote here: https://github.com/ilanpatao/Yelp-Reviews-API

I am trying to suggest movies to an user who has entered a movie genre, e.g. "horror", "sci-fi", etc.
For this, I have written a function that makes an API call towards the IMDB API:
import requests
def search_movies(search, api_key):
movies = []
url = "https://imdb-api.com/API/SearchMovie/"+api_key+"/"+search
response = requests.get(url)
data = response.json()
results = data['results']
for result in results:
movies.append(result['title'])
return(movies)
The API only returns 10 search results, which is not enough for what I am trying to achieve. Is there a way to increase this number? I was unable to find any parameters for this on Swagger, and pagination also doesn't seem to be an option, as the request is not made via URL parameters.
I don't think you can get more results from that unofficial web service.
I believe it is better to use the official IMDb API as stated on the official website.
From the IMDb developer website:
Get the latest IMDb data on-demand through our new GraphQL-backed API. Available exclusively via AWS Data Exchange
You can use AdvancedSearch, which returns up to 250 items.
https://imdb-api.com/api#AdvancedSearch-header
Sample:
https://imdb-api.com/API/AdvancedSearch/{API_KEY}?title={TITLE_FOR_SEARCH}&count=250
https://imdb-api.com/API/AdvancedSearch/{API_KEY}?title={TITLE_FOR_SEARCH}&title_type=tv_series&genres=action,adventure&count=250
You should try features of PyMovieDb, It is a free python module for IMDB
I have a blog with the Google Analytics tag in the various pages. I also have links on my site pointing to pages on my site as well as external pages. I have not set up custom events or anything like that.
For a given url/page on my site, within a certain date range, I want to programatically get (ideally from the GA API):
Search words/traffic sources that unique users/traffic from outside my website (e.g. organic traffic searching on Google) used to land on and view that page
For specific links on that page - both internal and external - I want to know the number of unique users who clicked on the link and the number of clicks
For specific links on that page - both internal and external - I want to know the search terms/sources of the users/clicks of the links vs. the visitors that didn't click on the links
Is there a way I can fire a given link on my blog into the Google Analytics API to get this data? I already have a 2-column table that has all of the pages on my site (column 1) and all of the links/urls on those pages (column 2).
I am using Python for all of this btw.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Regarding the information you're looking for:
You won't get organic keywords via the GA API: what you will get most of the time is (not provided) (here is some info and workarounds). You can get this data in the GA UI by linking the search console, but that data won't be exposed via the GA API, only the Search Console API (formerly "webmasters"), which unfortunately you won't be able to link with your GA data.
You will need to implement custom events if you want to track link clicks, as by default GA doesn't do it (here is an example which you can use for both internal and external links). Once you have the events implemented, you can use the ga:eventAction or ga:eventLabel to filter on your links (depending on how you implemented the events), and ga:totalEvents / ga:uniqueEvents to get the total / unique number of clicks.
You will need to create segments in order to define conditions about what users did or did not do. What I advise you to do is to create and test your segments via the UI to make sure they're correct, then simply refer to the segments via ID using the API.
As for the GA API implementation, before coding I advise you to get familiar with the API using:
The query explorer
Google Sheets + GA API plugin
Once you get the results you're looking for, you can automate with the Google Python Client (it's the same client for (nearly) all Google APIs), GA being a service you use with the client, and you'll find some python samples here.
I would like to know what is the best/preferred PYTHON 3.x solution (fast to execute, easy to implement, option to specify user agent, send browser & version etc to webserver to avoid my IP being blacklisted) which can scrape data on all of below options (mentioned based on complexity as per my understanding).
Any Static webpage with data in tables / Div
Dynamic webpage which completes loading in one go
Dynamic webpage which requires signin using username password & completes loading in one go after we login.
Sample URL for username password: https://dashboard.janrain.com/signin?dest=http://janrain.com
Dynamic web-page which requires sign-in using oauth from popular service like LinkedIn, google etc & completes loading in one go after we login. I understand this involves some page redirects, token handling etc.
Sample URL for oauth based logins: https://dashboard.janrain.com/signin?dest=http://janrain.com
All of bullet point 4 above combined with option of selecting some drop-down (lets say like "sort by date") or can involve selecting some check-boxes, based on which the dynamic data displayed would change.
I need to scrape the data after the action of check-boxes/drop-downs has been performed as any user would do it to change the display of the dynamic data
Sample URL - https://careers.microsoft.com/us/en/search-results?rk=l-seattlearea
You have option of drop-down as well as some checkbox in the page
Dynamic webpage with Ajax loading in which data can keep loading as
=> 6.1 we keep scrolling down like facebook, twitter or linkedin main page to get data
Sample URL - facebook, twitter, linked etc
=> 6.2 or we keep clicking some button/div at the end of the ajax container to get next set of data;
Sample URL - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/cost-climate-change-indian-railways-punctuality-more-editors-india-/
Here you have to click "Show Previous Comments" at the bottom of the page if you need to look & scrape all the comments
I want to learn & build one exhausted scraping solution which can be tweaked to cater to all options from the easy task of bullet point 1 to the complex task of bullet point 6 above as and when required.
I would recommend to use BeautifulSoup for your problems 1 and 2.
For 3 and 5 you can use Selenium WebDriver (available as python library).
Using Selenium you can perform all the possible operations you wish (e.g. login, changing drop down values, navigating, etc.) and then you can access the web content by driver.page_source (you may need to use sleep function to wait until the content is fully loaded)
For 6 you can use their own API to get list of news feeds and their links (mostly the returned object comes with link to a particular news feed), once you get the links you can use BeautifulSoup for get the web content.
Note: Pleas do read each web site terms and conditions before scraping because some of them have mentioned Automated Data Collection as Unethical behavior which we we should not do as professional.
Scrapy is for you if you looking for the real scaleable bulletproof solution. In fact scrapy framework is an industry standard for python crawling tasks.
By the way: I'd suggest you avoid JS rendering: all that stuff(chromedriver, selenium, phantomjs) is a last option to crawl sites.
Most of ajax data you can parse simply by forging needed requests.
Just spend more time in Chrome's "network" tab.
I'm trying to scrape Facebook public page likes data using Python. My scraper uses the post number in order to scrape the likes data. However, some posts have more than 6000 likes and I can only scrape 6000 likes, also I have been told that this is due to Facebook restriction which doesn't allow to scrape more than 6000 per day. How can I continue scrape the likes for the post from the point the scraper stop scraping.
I am thinking maybe facebook has limited the scraping from the same address which over 6000 times. You can try to use scrapy which is a package that used to scrap webpages, it has a component which like a ip pool that can be used for this.
In tags I see facebook-graph-api, which has limitations. Why don't you use requrests + lxml? It would be such easier, and as you want to scrape public pages, you don't even have to login, so it could be easily solve.
I am currently working a webscraper which should extract all item's description from a whole category on Amazon. I am writing this script with Python - Selenium - PhantomJS driver. How can I bypass the 400 page limit?
Amazon does't offer access to this data in his API. They only have information for "Pro sellers" (not standard sellers) and related to his own sales, shipping or products (you can find information in the Amazon marketplace Feed API page).
The only way I could find to do it is iterate through the category pages.
To do it you must start in the page category you're interested, retrieve description, price... and with your webscraper search for an element with Id "pagnNextLink". Then load the next page and repeat the process until you could not find this element.
And remenber that you must iterate this pages one by one (you can't jump to a different page altering the parameter "sr_pg_" in the link), because Amazon include in the links references to the session and this link is generated in every new page.
