I practiced my programming skills by scraping Nairaland and displayed the content in a React app. Its just like a normal Nairaland visit but in a new ui.

I know the present ui is better. Am just busy coding stuff.

See how your post looked like on my new Nairaland UI created with react js.

Note: This is not from Nairaland . Its a personal project.


I created a new UI for Nairaland that enbales you to read post across different boards.

It was achieved by scraping content from Nairaland.

This is how it works, with beautifulsoup.
You get or scrap the link for all the topics you need in form of a list and have it assigned a variable, then you loop through each of them. Those links have the same html setup or tags..

Nice one. Just curious, can request and beautifulsoup bypass Amazon's anti-scraping mechanism.

Scraping Nairaland with php also went smoothly since they didn't prevent scraping.

Am watching ( Unofficial Nairaland 2.0 )

Thanks bro.

I really appreciate it.

I can also consider doing that ....

NoIgboSoundTueh:
Did you hardcode the news items?

No, that will be time consuming and boring.

I scraped the content using PHP and I hosted it on Heroku.

it is somehow related to web crawling, the same way Google displays content from other websites.

# web scraping

Is this better?

illicit:
Too much green

Noted Bro. I will adjust

Wow

I also used web scraping to redesign Nairaland into a new app.
I used PHP / Laravel and React js

This topic of yours will look like this ( check the pictures)

See how this post will look like within the React app

Displaimer : This web app is not from Nairaland, just a side project I created.


We all know the thing with Nairaland's ui. Its simple, nice and mobile responsive.

But you will agree that we want it to be slick like modern day websites.

So I created a web app with Reactjs / Redux / Material UI / PHP / Laravel that is base on Nairaland but with a different UI. Not all Nairaland features is present but reading of post in a nice and intrusive ui is what I created it for.
