00:00.440 --> 00:01.430
A lower one.

00:01.430 --> 00:08.540
In this section, I'm going to show you how we can build a web scraper for the site, nordstrom.com.

00:08.810 --> 00:18.230
So Nordstrom is a clothing store and I've been asked if I could write a scraper for this site and I

00:18.230 --> 00:21.530
agreed to make a public tutorial for it.

00:21.530 --> 00:31.490
And the best part about this section is I'm going to teach you how we reverse engineer the site of Nordstrom

00:31.490 --> 00:40.220
and find a API that we can use instead of having to parse the HTML and scrape the site using request

00:40.220 --> 00:40.970
or puppeteer.

00:40.970 --> 00:44.510
So we actually take a little back door, so to say.

00:44.510 --> 00:51.050
So we get really pure data and we can use that to display the scraping results.

00:51.290 --> 00:57.800
So what we're going to build is we first of all going to reverse engineer, find the API for Nordstrom

00:58.280 --> 01:05.970
and then we're going to build a little front end inside of React and we're going to make it so you can

01:05.970 --> 01:13.740
select the amount of items you want, like five items, and then you can search for the items that you

01:13.740 --> 01:14.070
want.

01:14.070 --> 01:16.250
So for example, red dresses.

01:16.260 --> 01:21.600
And then we're going to get the results from inside of Nordstrom.

01:22.920 --> 01:30.900
So if you search for search for red dresses, these are the the results that we're getting back.

01:31.970 --> 01:33.500
And so.

01:35.490 --> 01:45.210
We are also, of course, going to make a backend, a small backend in NodeJS Express, and then we

01:45.210 --> 01:48.360
have the front end, like I said, inside of React.

01:48.990 --> 01:55.260
And we we're also going to be snooping around to find out how to get the API from Nordstrom.

01:55.530 --> 01:58.230
So I hope you will enjoy this section.

01:58.230 --> 02:04.770
I'll see you in the next lecture where we are start to set up the project.
