MATLAB provides functionality for web scraping using its built-in functions webread
and websave
. These functions allow fetching web content and storing it in MATLAB. Here's an example to create a simple web crawler:
main.m1185 chars40 lines
This code starts with a single URL and crawls the links on the page up to a certain limit. The code uses websave
to download the HTML content of each page and regexp
to extract links from the HTML. The URLs crawled are stored in a queue to be processed later, and the loop stops once the limit has been reached or there are no more URLs in the queue.
