One block on the page is filled with content by JavaScript and after loading page with Jsoup there is none of that inforamtion. Is there a way to get also JavaScript generated content when parsing page with Jsoup?
Can't paste page code here, since it is too long: http://pastebin.com/qw4Rfqgw
Here's element which content I need: <div id='tags_list'></div>
I need to get this information in Java. Preferably using Jsoup. Element is field with help of JavaScript:
<div id="tags_list">

JSoup is an HTML parser, not some kind of embedded browser engine. This means that it's completely unaware of any content that is added to the DOM by Javascript after the initial page load.
To get access to that type of content you will need an embedded browser component, there are a number of discussions on SO regarding that kind of component, eg Is there a way to embed a browser in Java?

You need to understand what is happening :
When you query a page from a website, whether using Jsoup or your browser, what gets sent back to you is some HTML. Jsoup is able to parse that.
However, most websites include Javascript in that HTML, or linked from that HTML, which will populate the page with content. Your browser is able to execute the Javascript, and thus populate the page. Jsoup is not.
The way to understand this is the following : parsing HTML code is easy. Executing Javascript code and updating corresponding HTML code is a lot more complex, and is the work of a browser.
Here are some solutions for this kind of problems:
If you can find what are the Ajax calls that Javascript code is making, that is loading content, you might be able to use the URL of these calls with Jsoup. In order to do that, use Developer Tools from your browser. But this is not guaranteed to work:
it might be that the url is dynamic, and depends on what is on the page at that time
if the content is not public, cookies will be involved, and simply querying the resource URL will not be enough
In these cases, you will need to "simulate" the work of a browser. Fortunately, such tools exist. The one I know, and recommend, is PhantomJS. It works with Javascript, and you would need to launch it from Java by starting a new process. If you want to stick to Java, this post lists some Java alternatives.
You can use a combination of JSoup and HtmlUnit to get the page contents after JavaScript scripts are done loading.

I fact there is a "way"! Maybe it is more "a workaround" than a "way... The code below checks both for meta attribute "REFRESH" and javascript redirects... If either of them exists RedirectedUrl variable is set. So you know your target... Then you can retrieve the target page and go on...
String RedirectedUrl=null;

if (meta.attr("http-equiv").contains("REFRESH")) {
RedirectedUrl = meta.attr("content").split("=")[1];

for (Element script:meta) {
String s = script.data();
if (!s.isEmpty() && s.startsWith("window.location.href")) {

int end = s.indexOf(";");
if (start>0 && end >start) {

s =s.replace("'", "").replace("\"", "");

It is possible by combining JSoup with another framework to interpret the webpage, in my example here I'm using HtmlUnit.

Document document = Jsoup.parse(myPage.asXml());
Elements otherLinks = document.select("a[href]");
After specifying user agent, my problem is solved.

When I am importing the HTML File according to the tutorialpoint link https://www.tutorialspoint.com/jsoup/jsoup_load_file.htm
import java.io.File;

}
I got this error when I run the program:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at jsoupTester.main(jsoupTester.java:13)
Note: jsoupTester.java file and temp.htm are in the same location
May I know how to solve this issue? Your suggestions will be highly appreciated :)
Have you checked the website properly? the code documentation showed this
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;
import java.net.URL;
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
public class JsoupTester {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, URISyntaxException {
URL path = ClassLoader.getSystemResource("test.htm");
File input = new File(path.toURI());
Document document = Jsoup.parse(input, "UTF-8"); // Only 2 parameters
System.out.println(document.title());
}
}
Error
Document document = Jsoup.parse(input, "UTF-8", ""); // 3rd parameter is not included in the documentation
As you can see the error is that you have another redundant parameter which I believe is causing the error. Remove that "" in your code and it will work fine. Hope that answers your question :)
I'm converting the xpath to Jsoup
below is my xpath (which is used in my selenium webdriver)
String number = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[#data-dojo-attach-point='subNumber']")).getText();
equivalent jsoup
String number = doc.select(" >span >data-dojo-attach-point=subNumber").text();
System.out.println(number);
While executing getting below error
Could not parse query 'data-dojo-attach-point=subNumber': unexpected token at '=subNumber'
HTML:
<div class="subHeaders">
<div class="subHeaderItem">
<h5 class="smallGray">Number</h5>
<span data-dojo-attach-point="subNumber">94607506</span>
</div>
</div>
can anyone help this.
This is the way you could retrieve that data with selectFirst(String cssQuery) and then html():
TestClass:
import java.io.IOException;
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Element;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
public class TestA {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
//this is where chromedriver.exe should be
String driverPath = "yourDriverPath";
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", driverPath);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(); ;
driver.get("YourURL");
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);
String cssSelector = "span[data-dojo-attach-point=subNumber]";
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector(cssSelector)));
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("YourURL").get();
Element subNumber = doc.selectFirst(cssSelector);
System.out.println(subNumber.html());
}
}
Output:
94607506
Note: I've tried the above in my laptop and it's working.
Use this CSS Selector.
div.subHeaders > div.subHeaderItem > span
String number = doc.select("div.subHeaders > div.subHeaderItem > span").text();
If the page has loaded then you will get the text. Use "Try Jsoup" to verify if you are able to get the text.
Click on this link. Click "Fetch URL" and input the URL of the page you are trying to parse and click "Fetch". Let me know if you are able to get the value.
If you don't mind posting the URL here, post the URL here. We will help you.

I fact there is a "way"! Maybe it is more "a workaround" than a "way... The code below checks both for meta attribute "REFRESH" and javascript redirects... If either of them exists RedirectedUrl variable is set. So you know your target... Then you can retrieve the target page and go on...
String RedirectedUrl=null;
Elements meta = page.select("html head meta");
if (meta.attr("http-equiv").contains("REFRESH")) {
RedirectedUrl = meta.attr("content").split("=")[1];
} else {
if (page.toString().contains("window.location.href")) {
meta = page.select("script");
for (Element script:meta) {
String s = script.data();
if (!s.isEmpty() && s.startsWith("window.location.href")) {
int start = s.indexOf("=");
int end = s.indexOf(";");
if (start>0 && end >start) {
s = s.substring(start+1,end);
s =s.replace("'", "").replace("\"", "");
RedirectedUrl = s.trim();
break;
}
}
}
}
}
... now retrieve the redirected page again...
It is possible by combining JSoup with another framework to interpret the webpage, in my example here I'm using HtmlUnit.
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Element;
import org.jsoup.select.Elements;
import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient;
import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlPage;
...
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
HtmlPage myPage = webClient.getPage(URL);
Document document = Jsoup.parse(myPage.asXml());
Elements otherLinks = document.select("a[href]");
After specifying user agent, my problem is solved.

Try:
Document Doc = Jsoup.connect(url)
.header("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate")
.userAgent("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0")
.maxBodySize(0)
.timeout(600000)
.get();
