Question

1.I created a node file that will scrape the provided url: https://www.billboard.com/charts/rap-song and send an email of all artists that are sung. However for some reason it's not sending any email.

This is my code-

var express require ('express'); var requestrequire('request') var cheeriorequire('cheerio'); var nodemailerrequire('nodemailer') var fs var app -require('fs'); - express); var transporter nodemailer.createTransport( service: Gmail' auth: user: 'me@gmail.com pass: '123name app.get('/scrape, function(req, res) var $, scraped_data, url; url "https://www.billboard.com/charts/rap-song" // Send a request to the URL we want to scrape // and return the data request (url, function(error, response, html) // Assuming there is no error if(error && response. StatusCode = 200) { // jQuery'ify the returned HTML cheerio. load(html); // like checking if a number is lower than // it was yesterday scraped_data $('a.chart-row artist').text) var mailoptions from: 'me@gmail.com to: 'ma@gmail.com, subject: 'YOUR_SUBJECT, text: 'YOUR_MESSAGE' scraped_data t; // send mail with defined transport object transporter.sendMail (mailOptions, function(error, info) if(error) return console.log(error); console.log( 'Message sent: 'info.response);

Explanation / Answer

Can you please provide the error output that you are getting.

*Maybe you forgot to start the server :

you can solve it by keeping this code at the bottom : app.listen(4000);

*Make sure that from mail address and send mail address are valid and also check that password is valid

*Make sure you have installed all the required dependencies

Following is the code that I have tested And it is able to scrap and send the mail.

var express = require('express');

var request = require('request');

var cheerio = require('cheerio');

var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

var fs = require('fs');

var app = express();

var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({

service:'Please put your service name here',

auth:{

user:'your from mail ',

pass:'Your from mail Password should here'

}

});

app.get('/scrape',function(req,res){

var $,scraped_data, url;

url = 'https://www.billboard.com/charts/rap-song';

request(url, function(error, response, html){

if(!error && response.statusCode == 200){

$ = cheerio.load(html);

scraped_data = $('a.chart-row__artist').text();

var mailOptions = {

from:'the same mail that you have given in transporter object',

to :'your receiver mail',

subject: 'Let it can be any subject',

text:'List of artists '+ scraped_data

};

transporter.sendMail(mailOptions,function(error,info){

if(error){

console.log(error);

return ;

}

console.log('message send'+info.response);

})

}

})

})

app.listen(4000);

//open your browser and go to the url : localhost:4000/scrape

Now it will should and send the mail
