Scraping with Osmosis returns undefined in Node.js

I'm using the Osmosis package to scrape like this:

require('osmosis')
   .get('https://samdb.org/phones/galaxy-s10')
   .find("//h4[contains(text(), 'MP')]")
   .data(data=>{
       console.log(data)
   })

My problem is that it logs an empty object to the console, but if I try this xpath on the website with XPath helper it returns that h4 which I want. What am I missing?

Solution

  • You forgot to add the .set after the .find method in your chain. 

    require('osmosis')
   .get('https://samdb.org/phones/galaxy-s10')
   .find("//h4[contains(text(), 'MP')]")
   .set('megapixel')
   .data(data=>{
       console.log(data)
   })
