Question

trying to scrape multiple pages but can’t get the urlid array to work within the pjscrape .js file.

I’m pretty sure I might be making a newbie mistake but I would appreciate some help though.
Thanks 🙂

pjs.config({

    timeoutInterval: 6000,
    timeoutLimit: 10000,

})

pjs.addSuite({
    // single URL or array
    url: abolaURLs,
    scraper: function(){
        var abolaURLs = [366762,366764,366763];
        for (var i = 0; i<abolaURLs.length; i++) {
            abolaURLs[i] = 'http://abola.pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=' + abolaURLs[i];
        };
        var results[];
        var cenas1 = $('div#a5g2').text();
        var cenas2 = $('span#noticiatext').text();
        var cenas3 = $('div#a5x').text();
        results.push(cenas1, cenas2, cenas3);
        return results;
    }
});

That will work for you:

var abolaURLs = [366762,366764,366763];

for (var i = 0; i < abolaURLs.length; i++) {
    abolaURLs[i] = 'http://abola.pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=' + abolaURLs[i];
};

pjs.addSuite({
    url: abolaURLs,
    scraper: function() {
            var results = []; // !! you have the wrong array declaration result[]
            var cenas1 = $('div#a5g2').text();
            var cenas2 = $('span#noticiatext').text();
            var cenas3 = $('div#a5x').text();
            results.push(cenas1, cenas2, cenas3);
            return results;
    }
});

pjs.config({
    timeoutInterval: 6000,
    timeoutLimit: 10000,
});
