1. Background

Selenium is a tool for testing Web applications. The Selenium test runs directly in the browser, just like a real user is working on it. For crawlers, using Selenium to manipulate browsers to crawl data on the Internet must be a killer weapon among crawlers. Here, I will introduce the general use of selenium + Google browser.

two。 Demand

In ordinary crawler development, sometimes the web page is a pile of js code, involving a lot of asynchronous computing, if it is an ordinary http console request, then the source file is a pile of js, you need to assemble the data yourself, which is very laborious; but using Selenium+ChromeDriver can achieve the perfect effect of WYSIWYG.

3. Mode of realization

Project structure: winform program for ease of use, with nuget package attached

The following is the code for form1.cs, so I'll just put the key method code here. Need to install the latest chrome browser + the chromedriver used in the code is v2.9.248315

# region abnormal exit chromedriver [DllImport ("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "FindWindow")] private extern static IntPtr FindWindow (string lpClassName, string lpWindowName); [DllImport ("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "SendMessage")] public static extern int SendMessage (IntPtr hWnd, int Msg, int wParam, int lParam); public const int SW_HIDE = 0; public const int SW_SHOW = 5 [DllImport ("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "ShowWindow")] public static extern int ShowWindow (IntPtr hwnd, int nCmdShow); / get window handle / public IntPtr GetWindowHandle () {string name = (Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\ chromedriver.exe"); IntPtr hwd = FindWindow (null, name) Return hwd;} / close the chromedriver window / public void CloseWindow () {try {IntPtr hwd = GetWindowHandle (); SendMessage (hwd, 0x10, 0,0) } catch {}} / exit chromedriver / public void CloseChromeDriver (IWebDriver driver) {try {driver.Quit (); driver.Dispose () } catch {} CloseWindow ();} # endregion exited chromedriver abnormally

Effect:

Let's talk about the train of thought:

1. Jump to the specified web page driver.Navigate (). GoToUrl

two。 Determine the data source and read the data from driver.PageSource

3. Parsing html data
