Some common methods to simulate natural web page interaction by using the mechanism

In Ruby, web page capturing is usually implemented using the mechanism, which is very simple to use.

Install

sudo gem install mechanize

Capture webpages

require == agent.get()

Simulate click events

page = agent.page.link_with(:text => ).click

Simulate form submission

google_form = page.form(] = =

Analysis page. The mechanism uses nokogiri to parse the webpage. Therefore, you can refer to the nokogiri document.

table = page.search(=

Note: If you need to log on to the webpage first, you can log on to the website first, log on to the JSESSIONID, and assign it to the agent.

cookie = Mechanize::Cookie.new(, = = 

If you need to save the webpage, use. save_as (or save, I have not tried it). For example:

agent.get().save_as
