“ Introduction to Web Scraping

To begin, ensure you have Node.js installed on your development machine. This tutorial was tested with Node.js version 12.18.3. Create a project directory and initialize npm to manage dependencies. Install Puppeteer, which will handle the browser automation.

“ Creating the Web Scraper

After setting up the files, you'll program the scraper to navigate to books.toscrape.com and extract data from a single page. This involves waiting for the page to load and selecting the appropriate elements to scrape.

“ Navigating and Filtering Data

By following this tutorial, you have built a functional web scraper using Node.js and Puppeteer. Remember to consider the ethical and legal implications of web scraping, and always respect the terms of service of the websites you scrape.
