Retrieve the flights data by an interactive CLI or using a custom API that is interfacing with the skyscanner scraper.
These script is just for personal use and for learning purpose, not for commercial use.
Clone this repository and then run:
npm install
Then you can choose which script to execute:
- index.js
- index-concurrency.js
- index-inquirer.js
They do the same work but in some different way:
- the index.js script accept all the params by CLI. Type
node index.js -hto get some help; - the index-concurrency.js is a web server with a simple API endpoint to get the flights data. This script can manage concurrency of the skyscanner scraper
- the index-inquirer.js is an interactive CLI and it's using Inquirer.js
Puppeter is a NodeJS library to interface with the Chromium API.
Express is a fast and fancy web server in NodeJS.
I've implemented a light web server in the index-concurrency.js script that provide a simple API to get the info about the flights.
You can run these script using also Docker.
You can refer to the offical (Puppeteer repo)[https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md#running-puppeteer-in-docker].
