Questions: Nokogiri::HTML(page) returned HTML/XML tree like stuff rather then HTML

[Sonrisa]

Hi everyone!!

I'm completely new ruby and nokogiri. I’m trying to scrape some data from a website, and I was following this tutorial: https://www.distilled.net/resources/web-scraping-with-ruby-and-nokogiri-for-beginners/ 

and here is my code: 

require 'HTTParty'

require 'Nokogiri'

require 'JSON'

require 'Pry'

require 'csv'

page = HTTParty.get('http://www.coffeereview.com/review/el-aquila-pacamara-espresso')

parse_page = Nokogiri::HTML(page)

review_titles = []

Pry.start(binding)

 

when I run these in terminal, I would get :

#(Document:0x3fe1e5c39c5c {

  name = "document",

  children = [

    #(DTD:0x3fe1e5cccebc { name = "html" }),

    #(Element:0x3fe1e5ced4b4 {

      name = "html",

      attributes = [ #(Attr:0x3fe1e5cec2f8 { name = "xmlns", value = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" }), #(Attr:0x3fe1e5cec2e4 { name = "lang", value = "en-US" })],

      children = [

        #(Text "\n"),

        #(Element:0x3fe1e5d1c55c {

          name = "head",

          attributes = [ #(Attr:0x3fe1e5d01860 { name = "profile", value = "http://gmpg.org/xfn/11" })],

          children = [

            #(Text "\n  "),

            #(Element:0x3fe1e54ad68c {

              name = "meta",

              attributes = [ #(Attr:0x3fe1e5cf9b60 { name = "http-equiv", value = "X-UA-Compatible" }), #(Attr:0x3fe1e5cf9b4c { name = "content", value = "IE=edge" })]

              }),

            #(Text "\n  "),

instead of HTML like thing....

I was wondering what did I do wrong...

Please let me know what should I change! Thank you so much!!

btw I'm running on mac, and I have:

gem -v 2.6.14

xcode-select version 2347.

This looks correct so far. You got a Nokogiri Document from the remote page. Now, what do you want to do with that document? Usually, the use-case for Nokogiri is to search the page for particular elements (by either CSS or XPath), and then do things with those elements.

What are you trying to do?
