Make an API by Scraping Ajax Calls with NodeJS
Were gonna make an API out of Kickstarter.com by scraping their AJAX calls. Were gonna use NodeJS with the help of our framework called Cornerstore.
Npm install -g cs to get the framework.
Then you can cs init {{project}}
To start the framework and serve your project, just 'cs run' and then point your browser to localhost:3000
Using this technique you can really scrape any websites ajax calls and for your own API calls.
Note, kickstarter did not give me permissions, but I think this is OK, since it's all public data anyway. Thanks KS!
