ScrapeLite Guardian

ScrapeLite Guardian is a lightweight Node.js scraper for collecting article titles and links from The Guardian's international news page.

Features

• Fetches Guardian International HTML with axios.
• Parses article data with cheerio.
• Starts a small Express server on port 8000.
• Uses nodemon for local development reloads.

Requirements

• Node.js 20.18.1 or newer
• npm

Installation

git clone https://github.com/FahimFBA/scrapelite-guardian.git
cd scrapelite-guardian
npm install

Usage

npm start

The scraper runs when the app starts and prints the collected articles to the terminal.

Release Process

Releases are driven by CHANGELOG.md.

1. Update package.json with the new version.
2. Add a new topmost version section to CHANGELOG.md.
3. Push the changes to main.

The GitHub Action reads the newest changelog version, verifies it matches package.json, creates the matching vX.Y.Z tag, and publishes a GitHub release using that changelog section as the release notes.

Notes

The Guardian changes its frontend markup over time. If the scraper starts returning no articles, update the selector in index.js.
