Write a scraper

Need some JSON kept up to date? You can use our GitHub Action scraper bluprint to create a scraper you can automate.

Our bluprint will help you:

  • Write a NodeJS script that can get, parse and clean your data, whether you're hitting an API, scraping a website or downloading a massive datafile.
  • Test your scraper locally and publish your data to AWS, just by pushing your code to our team GitHub.
  • Schedule your scraper to run on a schedule, whether you need it every 5 minutes or once a week.

Check out the repo in GitHub for more instructions, then add the bluprint to your CLI to use the code:

$ bluprint add reuters-graphics/bluprint_github-action-scraper
