DianpingScraper Version 2

The second version of the DianpingScraper. The first version can be found here

The DianpingScraper is a scraper for the Chinese restaurant review website 大众点评. It is designed to scrape the reviews of a restaurant, and store the data in a MongoDB database.

Change of the version 2.

• OCR module is removed from the version 1, since the text is no longer encrypted using the css font.
• The subsequent analytical steps are removed, as this is just a scraper. The further analysis should be done separately.

Prerequisites

• MongoDB
• Nodejs
• Python

Quick start

• Clone the repository
  git clone https://github.com/46319943/DianpingScraper2.git
• Install the requirements for python
  pip install -r requirements.txt
• Go to the CookieServer folder and install the requirements for nodejs
  cd CookieServer
npm install
• Run the cookie server
  node Server.js
• Return to the root folder of the project and Run the pipeline_manager.py with arguments
  python pipeline_manager.py -i <大众点评的ID> -n <大众点评的名称> [-p <开始页面数>] [-d <数据库名称>]
• For example, to scrape the reviews of the restaurant 拙政园 from page 1, and store the data in the database 苏州园林, run the following command:
  python pipeline_manager.py -i G9K4MX4uAHO4TMjs -n 拙政园 -p 1 -d 苏州园林
• The data will be stored in the MongoDB database. To export the data, run the following command:
  python export_to_json.py -d <数据库名称> [-c <大众点评的名称>]
