Although free proxies are popular, they are far from being flawless in their work. Many of their IP addresses are blacklisted by popular resources, and the data transfer speed and stability are very unreliable. When choosing a proxy, keep in mind that the new version of IPv6 is not supported by most websites. Note also that proxies are divided into private and public, statistical and dynamic, and support different network protocols.
The term "public" should be understood to mean open proxy servers. That is, they can be used by all users without exception. They can be insecure and are often quite overloaded, so the connection speed or response time when using public proxies can be very slow.
Paid proxies are definitely better and more reliable than free ones. How do you test them? You can simply use the Hidemy Name service. It also shows which protocols the service uses and how reliable the connection is.
Qt primarily focuses on providing tools and libraries for GUI development, networking, and other application-level features. While it includes facilities for working with XML through classes like QXmlStreamReader and QXmlStreamWriter, these are more geared toward parsing XML rather than HTML.
For HTML parsing, especially when using XPath expressions, you might need to consider additional libraries or tools. One common choice is to use a third-party library like Gumbo or htmlcxx. These libraries are not part of the Qt framework, but they can be used alongside Qt to handle HTML parsing.
Here's a basic example using htmlcxx for HTML parsing:
#include
#include
#include
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
std::string htmlData = "Hello, world!
";
htmlcxx::HTML::ParserDom parser;
tree dom = parser.parseTree(htmlData);
// Example XPath query
std::string xpathExpression = "//p/span";
std::vector::iterator> result;
htmlcxx::XPath::NodeSet nodeSet;
htmlcxx::XPath::Parser xpathParser;
xpathParser.compile(xpathExpression.c_str(), &nodeSet);
for (tree::iterator it = dom.begin(); it != dom.end(); ++it) {
nodeSet.evaluate(*it);
if (nodeSet.size() > 0) {
result.push_back(it);
}
}
// Output the result
for (auto &it : result) {
std::cout << "Match found: " << htmlcxx::HTML::toPlainText(it->begin(), it->end()) << std::endl;
}
return a.exec();
}
In this example, I've used htmlcxx for HTML parsing and XPath queries. Note that you need to include the htmlcxx library in your project.
Scraping a large number of web pages using JavaScript typically involves the use of a headless browser or a scraping library. Puppeteer is a popular headless browser library for Node.js that allows you to automate browser actions, including web scraping.
Here's a basic example using Puppeteer:
Install Puppeteer:
npm install puppeteer
Create a JavaScript script for web scraping:
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
async function scrapeWebPages() {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
// Array of URLs to scrape
const urls = ['https://example.com/page1', 'https://example.com/page2', /* add more URLs */];
for (const url of urls) {
await page.goto(url, { waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded' });
// Perform scraping actions here
const title = await page.title();
console.log(`Title of ${url}: ${title}`);
// You can extract other information as needed
// Add a delay to avoid being blocked (customize the delay based on your needs)
await page.waitForTimeout(1000);
}
await browser.close();
}
scrapeWebPages();
Run the script:
node your-script.js
In this example:
urls
array contains the list of web pages to scrape. You can extend this array with the URLs you need.page.title()
