ReubenE:

You are only trying to embellish his statement for trip.

The other poster clearly mentioned "Ikwerre" and not igboid groups in Rivers. Again, Wike already declared himself and his people not to be igboid a sentiment shared by most of them so Wike is not igbo.

Again, Ijaws outnumber Ikwerre in Rivers and the other igboid groups you think of don't even care about Wike in relation to this topic of discourse

Do not allow Igbo hate to consume you. It is not in Wikes place to decide if Ikweres are Igboid or not

paramakina202:


Was Ijaw the only tribe that traded with Igbo?
We traded with Efik,Ibibio and other neighbours,why are they not speaking Igbo?
Arochukwu man for 'example' once he finds himself in Rivers state will change his name to tamuno but maintian his Igbo language then Ijaw people will claim he is an Ijawman.Even the Chief in that video confessed that none of them can speak Ibani language.
You are forcing a dead language to a reluctant population who already have a mother tongue they speaks and it from generation to generation.

Why are you lieng through your teeth. You know quite well that Opobians speak Igbo through and through

Gajagojo:

He did not say there was

He said Rivers people

Was there any such thing as Biafra before Nigeria?
The way you construct specious argument that seem wise in your eyes is funny
Rivers people are the same today as they were 50 years as long as it is clear what specific territory we are talking about .

There has never been anything like AN Igboland country in history so how do we then manipulate that fact to suit our current argument?

Well Not all Rivers people agreed to be part of Rivers State. Obigbo and Egbema comes to mind lol.
Mind you, your are not talking to a stranger because I am an indigene of Omoku/ONELGA

paschal9:
. Jaja of Opobo

Quote me anywhere Jajas real name is Mbanaso Ozurumba.
Gowon, FG and the British did the igbos dirty

Coolgent:

Chai Wike is wicked

press9jatv:
😂 Sim is an ogoni man

No he is not!
Ogoni has never ruled Rivers state before.

press9jatv:
Wetin this one dey talk. This is not the clueless weak coward Ambode here. This is Fubara, An ijaw man dealing with Wike case very well. This is not Ekiti where you will just be blowing propaganda in any way you want. Wike will be thoroughly dealt with

Sim is from the Riverain part of Rivers State he is Igbo and an Opobian

JagabanB:

All these one eyed analysis on social media don't hold any water.

Ijaw does not outnumber igboid groups in Rivers state. Most of the ijoid groups are in Bayelsa

Whalis:

This civil war you like quoting na waoooo. Before the civil war and after Rivers people have always shown a strong dislike for igbos and their overbearing tendencies.

There was no such thing as Rivers before the civil war

mrksquare:


They do not know. So we owe it a duty to inform them.

Stop lying if not for Nigerian civil that forced Opobians to hide their identity Opobo is a completely Igbo town. EOD!!!

Great job! Being able to handle the infinite scrolling on jiji page, different websites with different technicalities when it comes to data extraction. I did a project for a client recently, Airbnb and zillow, omoh the zillow gave me wahala small, reasons were, all the Web elements did not load except you scroll the page bit by bit down to the button, and to be able to scroll the page you have to minimise the driver window., very interesting.
Nice one op.
Thanks. You are right there is no one perfect fit all to scraping. If it was that straight forward the client wouldn't have needed your service 👌

BlackhatMentor:


Sure

It sells on Upwork and Fiverr like pure water but being able to break through is the issue

airsaylongcome:
OP,

Word of advice, never use your personal details for webscrapping

Yea thanks I have changed that

landiqa:


Finally. Your please

Do you offer classes online

Nope I don't but I am only interested in landing webscraping gigs. To learn webscraping, you can check out freecodecamp on YouTube

GOSPELTRUTH31:
How can I make money from this

How it works often on Upwork or Fiverr clients make request to scrap specific websites or leads for cold email marketing.

Hello Nairalanders,

I want to share my experience in crawling leads from Jiji. As a web scraping enthusiast, I've tackled various sites, but this one proved to be difficult. This is because the phone numbers are in the product detail page and you have to be logged in to get it. Another issue I faced was that the website is loaded with java script and uses infinite scrolling.

I was able to circumvent these road blocks by using selenium to to the site with my personal details after which I saved the cookies as a json file. As the cite uses infinite scrolling I scraped all the sellers url links to a csv file. I then read the url links so as to crawl the site using the links.

my details have been saved as cookies in a json file, In the process of crawling the site again using the URLs, I applied the cookies from the json file. The crawler visited each seller's detail page using the saved URL links and clicked the "Show " button to extract the information.

Retailers specializing in second-hand items like laptops can leverage this approach coupled with applied analytics on the scraped the data to gain swift access to mouth-watering deals, faster than a regular visitor.

You can check out the code for executing the project in my github repo:

Bro can u help in getting leads for an targeted niche adverts?

Sure it's very much doable. I have been able to write a scraper that scraps leads/ phone number from Jiji. The project is in my GitHub and I would be dropping how I was able to do the project here very soon

What kind of simulation do you want to do

landiqa:
Can you develop one that scrape for phone numbers and validate the phone numbers for Whatsapp.

I can scrap Jiji for phone numbers but the validation on Whatsapp is what I don't know about

Felixitie:


Tho, it seems the page loads dynamically making Bs4 hard to easily get the data out, selenium can load the page and render the javascript, then you may now use Bs4 to soup it and get the stuff (combination of Sele&Bs4). Scrappy works too easily.

You can as well grab all the front page topic links first and then loop through it using Bs4 to get all the data points , to improve the speed.

You have done so well.

Can we work on a portfolio project together using scrapy with splash or scrapy with playwright to generate leads, then we dump it into a database plus scheduling using airflow?

I was trying to use scrapy and playwright and it turned out that playwright doesn't do well with windows. I tried virtualizing with wsl2 yet it still didn't work. So I decided to stick with Selenium pending when i lay hands on a Mac or Linux PC.

Cheryl463337:
why can't you use normal requests and BeautifulSoup which i believe will be faster than selenium?

I was just experimenting with it because when I tried using Octoparse (a badass no code tool) to scrap nairaland website, it couldn't work because the site didn't appear structured. So I decided to experiment with Selenium and it worked

Babangidapikin:

Okay by the way can you visualize data

Integrating the data to Power BI allows you to do that. With BI tools you can even do data refresh

[quote author=DataMina post=126494004][/quote]
It is very much doable, but you know you have to content with CAPTCHas

airsaylongcome:
OP,

Is it possible to do the "impossible"? Scrape the entire site's content and dump in an LLM

I know, I have worked on a scraper that scraps emails from LinkedIn using Google search after which I used stringr libraries to extract emails from the text. I get your point though...

I use a different trick to do it. If you need the service you can let me know

Hello everyone. I am a data analyst who enjoys webscraping. Nairaland has been my go to place to keep up with trending news asides Twitter, and being a lover of this platform I decided to build a webscrapper with Selenium and Python.

This scraper is designed to extract the thread topics the count of views, s, and guests from Nairaland.

The Scraped data can be used to develop a power bi report that can be refreshed each time Scraping is done. The published dashboard can be used to morning threads that generate the highest and lowest views. You can check out the project in my GitHub repository:https://github.com/StephDAnalyst/Nairaland
