How to access DOM attributes containing different attribute values using Cheerio?

I'm using cheerio to scrape the webpage in nodejs. Now I've come across content of the web which is structured something like this,

<div data-content="123456"> ... </div>
<div data-content="142453"> ... </div>
<div data-content="192638"> ... </div>
<div data-content="152701"> ... </div>
<div data-content="172830"> ... </div>

note that data-content attribute has different attribute values and within the div there is necessary data that i want to scrape out. How can i use cheerio to access the DOM attributes that are structured like this?

NOTE : I know using div as a selector is possible. But i don't want to use div as a selector with cheerio. i want to exclusively use data-content as a selector to access DOM nodes.

Solution

  • This should work:

    $('div[data-content]')
