HTML Table Queries through WP Web Scraper

Posted August 11, 2009 at 3:07 pm by Akshay

Scraping HTML tables is easy, but parsing them has always been tricky. That’s exactly what my next release of WP Web Scraper will let you do. This feature will have methods to query HTML tables within your scrap. For instance, the scraper will let you filter by value of a specific table column and also restrict the number of rows using a ‘from’ and ‘to’ index key.

Further, it will also let you delete a certain column from the output and also apply specific CSS classes to even and odd rows. This feature is specifically designed for users intending to scrap and filter or parse data extracted from HTML tables. This feature will be implemented as a module within WP Web Scraper.

    Superb plugin! Any way to get WP Web Scraper to scrape just the latest major indicies numbers? That would definitely be of great value.
