A lower one.
In this section, I'm going to show you how we can build a web scraper for the site, nordstrom.com.
So Nordstrom is a clothing store and I've been asked if I could write a scraper for this site and I
agreed to make a public tutorial for it.
And the best part about this section is I'm going to teach you how we reverse engineer the site of Nordstrom
and find a API that we can use instead of having to parse the HTML and scrape the site using request
or puppeteer.
So we actually take a little back door, so to say.
So we get really pure data and we can use that to display the scraping results.
So what we're going to build is we first of all going to reverse engineer, find the API for Nordstrom
and then we're going to build a little front end inside of React and we're going to make it so you can
select the amount of items you want, like five items, and then you can search for the items that you
want.
So for example, red dresses.
And then we're going to get the results from inside of Nordstrom.
So if you search for search for red dresses, these are the the results that we're getting back.
And so.
We are also, of course, going to make a backend, a small backend in NodeJS Express, and then we
have the front end, like I said, inside of React.
And we we're also going to be snooping around to find out how to get the API from Nordstrom.
So I hope you will enjoy this section.
I'll see you in the next lecture where we are start to set up the project.
