Inspiration
Wanted to learn a bit more about web development.
What it does
Allows user to enter in a website url, Scrape me then gets the url's source HTML and searches for a regex expression, then it will return the first occurrence of that expression.
How I built it
Javascript, HTML, CSS, YQL and a shared webspace called Webster given to me as a TA.
Challenges I ran into
XML can only send requests within my domain
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Haven't finished it yet!
What I learned
Learned about Yahoo Query Language
What's next for Scrape Me
Can find multiple occurrences of the regex, could display the webpage with the regex match highlighted and pointed to.
