Scraping javascript generated content using request in Node.Js

Question

I need to scrape some content from Google search results that only shows in browsers (I suspect it\'s when Javascript is enabled) – specifically, their Knowledge Graph \"Peo

Answer 1

You can't using node's request as you are merely downloading the static content. In order to render JavaScript you have to use a browser. Fortunately there are headless browsers just for this purpose. I suggest PhantomJS.
