I am trying to Jsoup to parse the html from the URL http://www.threadflip.com/shop/search/john%20hardy
Jsoup looks to only get the data from the line

Does anyone know why this would be?
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://www.threadflip.com/shop/search/john%20hardy").get();
The site you try to parse loads most of its contents async via AJAX calls. JSoup does not interpret Javascript and therefore does not act like a browser. It seems that the store is filled by calling their api:
http://www.threadflip.com/api/v3/items?attribution%5Bapp%5D=web&item_collection_id=&q=john+hardy&page=1&page_size=30
So maybe you need to directly load the API Url in order to read the stuff you want. Note that the response is JSON, not HTML, so the JSoup html parser is of not much help here. But there is great JSON libraries available. I use JSON-Simple.
Alternatively, you may switch to Selenium webdriver, which actually remote controls a real browser. This should have no trouble accessing all items from the page.

I have an information to be scraped from a website. I could scrape it. But not all the information is being scraped. There is so much of data loss. The following images helps you further to understand :
I used Jsoup, connected it to URL and then extracted this particular data using the following code :
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("https://www.awattar.com/tariffs/hourly#").userAgent("Mozilla/17.0").get();
Elements durationCycle = doc.select("g.x.axis g.tick text");
But in the result, I couldn't find any of that related information at all. So I printed the whole document from the URL and it shows the following :
I could see the information when I download the page and read it as an input file but not when I connect directly to URL. But I want to connect it to URL. Is there any suggestion?
I hope my question is understandable. Let me know in case if it is not explanatory.
There is a request body limitation in Jsoup. you should use the maxBodySize parameter:
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("https://www.awattar.com/tariffs/hourly#").userAgent("Mozilla/17.0").maxBodySize(0).get();
"0" is no limit.
I'm using Jsoup to scrape some online data from different stores, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to programmatically replicate what I do as a user. To get the data manually (after logging in), a user must select a store from a tree that pops up.
As best I can tell, the tree is not hard-coded into the site but is built interactively when your computer interacts with the server. When you look for the table in "view page source," there are no entries. When I inspect the tree, I do see the HTML and it seems to come from the "FancyTree" plugin.
As best as I can tell from tracking my activity on Developer Tools -- Network, the next step is a "GET" request which doesn't change the URL, so I'm not sure how my store selection is being transferred.
Any advice on how to get Jsoup or Java generally to programmatically interact with this table would be extremely helpful, thank you!
Jsoup can only parse the original source file, not the DOM. In order to parse the DOM, you'll need to render the page with something like HtmlUnit. Then you can parse the html content with Jsoup.
// load page using HTML Unit and fire scripts
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
HtmlPage myPage = webClient.getPage(myURL);
// convert page to generated HTML and convert to document
doc = Jsoup.parse(myPage.asXml());
// do something with html content
System.out.println(doc.html());
// clean up resources
webClient.close();

I have the following code:
doc = Jsoup.connect("http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox").userAgent("Mozilla").timeout(5000).get();
Elements hrefs = doc.select("div.a-row.layer");
System.out.println("Results:"+ hrefs); //I am trying to print out contents but not able to see the output.
Problem: Want to display all image src within the div with class name "a-row layer". But, i am unable to see the output.
What is the mistake with my query?
I have taken a look at the website and tested it myself. The issue seems to be that the piece of html code you want to extract (div.a-row.layer) is generated by JavaScript.
Jsoup does not support JavaScript and cannot parse those generated by it. You would need a headless web browser to deal with this, such as HTMLUnit.
I am new to jsoup. I want to parse html but the problem is with the URL which we have to specify in jsoup.connect(url), I will get this url in response from some other page at runtime. Is there any way to pass the received url into jsoup.connect? I had read something like:
String html = response.getContentAsString();
Document document = Jsoup.parse(html);
But I am not getting exactly how to use it. I would love to know if some other way of doing this is better than jsoup.
"parse" function accepts html content string, not url.
According to jsoup javadoc, the following should solve your problem:
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://example.com").get();
pay attention to the fact that "connect" method returns Connection object, but, in fact, does not connect. Therefore additional call to "get" (or "put", depending on the handler type on the server side).
The problem is that some of the urls I am trying to pull from have javascript slideshow containers that haven't loaded yet. I want to get the images in the slideshow but since this hasn't loaded yet it doesn't grab the element. Is there anyway to do this? This is what I have so far
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/03/pictures/130316-gastric-brooding-frog-animals-weird-science-extinction-tedx/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ng%2FNews%2FNews_Main+%28National+Geographic+News+-+Main%29").get();
Elements jpg = doc.select("img[src$=.jpg]");
jsoup can't handle javascript, but you can use an additional library for this:
