This guide will walk you through the steps to use this project to extract and format data from "arztsuche24.at". Even if you're not an IT expert, these simple instructions will help you navigate through the process.
Before starting, make sure you have the following:
- Node.js installed on your system.
- Basic familiarity with using the terminal or command prompt.
- Download this repository from this link.
- Unzip the downloaded file and save it to a location of your choice.
- Open your terminal or command prompt.
- Navigate to the directory where you unzipped the repository. For example:
cd /path/to/oif-doctors-parser/
- Run the following command to install dependencies:
npm install
- Open the
parser.js
file in your preferred text editor. - Locate and edit the following variables:
BASE_URL
: Specify the URL of the "arztsuche24.at" website from which you want to extract data. You can find this URL by visiting the website and copying the page URL.PAGE_START
andPAGE_END
: You can specify a particular range of pages to extract information from. This allows you to extract data in portions. If you want to get all the information at once, specify the first page and the maximum available on the website. In this case, however, in the event of an error, all the information from the previous pages will be lost. It is recommended that you upload your data in parts (for example, by 30 pages).
- After saving your changes in
parser.js
, return to your terminal or command prompt. - Navigate to the directory where the project files are located.
- Run the following command:
node parser.js
If you'd like to extract information from specific portions of the website:
- Edit the
PAGE_START
andPAGE_END
variables inparser.js
to specify the desired page range (e.g. start 1 -> 11, end 10 -> 20). - Repeat Step 4 to run the parser again.
- Once you've extracted all the desired pages, run the following command in your terminal:
node formatter.js
- This will generate a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file, which you can open in Excel or Google Spreadsheet.
- To open the CSV file, follow these steps in Excel or Google Spreadsheet:
- Excel: Open -> Import.
- Google Spreadsheet: File -> Import -> Upload.
After formatting the data into a CSV file:
- Review all fields for correctness, paying particular attention to names as they may be provided in a non-unique format.
If you are going to upload a new set of data (from a new URL), do not forget to delete the previous set of data from the ./jsons
folder.
1) cd /Users/john/Downloads/oif-doctors-parser/
2) npm install
3) node parser.js
4) "edit page start from 1 to 11, page end from 10 to 20"
5) node parser.js
6) node formatter.js
7) create new google spreadsheet
8) File -> Import -> Upload -> Import data (nothing to change in settings)
9) Sit back, relax, and enjoy the fact that you've saved yourself dozens of hours of manual data extraction and formatting 👏🍾🥂
