我想创建一个程序,将字符串输入到像谷歌这样的网站的文本框中(不使用他们的公共(public) API),然后提交表单并获取结果。这可能吗?获取结果将需要使用我假设的 HTML 抓取,但我将如何将数据输入文本字段并提交表单?我会被迫使用公共(public) API 吗?这样的事情是不可行的吗?我必须弄清楚查询字符串/参数吗?
谢谢
最佳答案
理论
我要做的是创建一个小程序,它可以自动将任何表单数据提交到任何地方并返回结果。这在 Java 中很容易做到,HTTPUnit .任务是这样的:
您选择的解决方案将取决于多种因素,包括:
例如,您可以尝试以下应用程序为您提交数据:
那么grep (awk 或 sed)生成的网页。
屏幕抓取的另一个技巧是下载一个示例 HTML 文件并在 vi(或 VIM)中手动解析它。将击键保存到文件中,然后每当您运行查询时,将这些击键应用到生成的网页以提取数据。此解决方案不可维护,也不是 100% 可靠(但很少从网站抓取屏幕)。它可以工作并且速度很快。
示例
下面是一个用于提交网站表单(特别是处理登录网站)的半通用 Java 类,希望它可能有用。不要用来作恶。

示例属性文件如下所示:

form.param.last_name=
form.param.email=emailhome
form.param.comments=comments
# Submit Button
#form.submit=submit
# Required Fields
#
form.required.to=zzwebmaster
form.required.phone=555-555-1212
form.required.besttime=5 to 7pm
运行它类似于以下内容(将 HTTPUnit 的路径和 $CLASSPATH 的 FormElements 类替换):
java -cp $CLASSPATH FormElements com.mellon.properties "John" "Doe" "John.Doe@gmail.com" "To whom it may concern ..."

另一个答案提到它可能违反使用条款。先检查一下,然后再花时间研究技术解决方案。非常好的建议。
