Web scraping with Electron

Posted on 9 mars 2019 ·  4 min read

Web scraping is a technique for extracting content from websites in order to archive data in a structured way. Be careful, however, to respect the terms of use of the website concerned.

Electron is a framework for creating native Windows/Mac/Linux applications with web technologies (Javascript, HTML, CSS). It includes the browser Chromium, fully configurable.

Is there a better way to code a portable application with a graphical user interface to scrape a given site ?
