scrape website using nodejs cheerio deep nested element tags

问题

I'm trying to scrape text from a website but can't seem to extract anything.

below is the structure and code.

My code:

const rp = require("request-promise");
const $ = require("cheerio");
const url = "xx";

rp(url)
  .then(function(html) {
    //success!
    let token = "ce-bodytext";
    console.log($(token, response).length);
    console.log($(token, html)).text;
  })
  .catch(function(err) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(err));
  });

While I just need the text, there was no id to the tag. Also, I was hoping ce-bodytext would extract all values in order

but all I get is empty output.

{}

How do I just extract the text as shown in the image?

回答1:

Try this:

let token = ".ce-bodytext>p>strong>font>font";
console.log($(token, html).text());

回答2:

ce-bodytext is a class, you forgot to add . before it :

const token = '.ce-bodytext';

It will at least fix the empty output.
