[Solved] Parsing webpages to extract contents

Suggested readings

Static pages:

Mind you, many of the pages will create content dynamically using JavaScript after loading. For such a case, the ‘static page’ approach won’t help, you will need to search for tools in the “Web automation” category.
Selenium is such a toolset. You can command you browser to open and navigate pages using a common browser, you may even be able to use a ‘headless browser’ (no UI) using the phantomjs.

Good luck, there’s lots of reading and coding ahead of you.
