✅ - develop main.tsx ✅ - find every div that contains a post. ✅ - the exampleDiv.html file consists of a reference of what one of those post divs should look like. it represents a set of author's reviews to a pop song. ✅ - identify the title and artist of the song. In the example div the title is "Family Matters" and the artist is Skye Newman ✅ - identify the href for the entry ✅ - identify the overall score ([5.73] in the example div) ✅ - for each paragraph element that represents a review, identify the author's name, their url, the text of the their review, and the score they gave the review.

✅ the resulting output should be an array reviews of elements where each element has the following structure:

artist, song_title, href, overall_score, reviewer, reviewer_url, review_text, review_score

✅ for now, just console log the output ✅ parse scores as numbers (not strings with brackets)

Implementation Complete! 🎉

The scraper successfully:

  • Fetches HTML from thesinglesjukebox.com
  • Finds all post divs containing song reviews
  • Extracts song metadata (artist, title, href, overall score)
  • Parses individual reviews (reviewer, URL, text, score)
  • Converts scores to numbers: overall_score: 3.23, review_score: 5
  • Returns structured JSON data with the exact format requested
  • Handles HTML entity decoding and text cleanup

Current status: Working on page 2, extracting 19 reviews from 10 posts.

Next steps:

✅ - add a song_index integer field that starts at 0 so that each song has its own unique id. ✅ - Uncomment the loop but use 10 for pagesTotal. ✅ - Create a SQLite table to cache the results (drop and replace if the table already exists) ✅ - Change main.tsx to a script val. ✅ - create a results.tsx endpoint val that serves the JSON data from the sqlite table.

Implementation Complete! 🎉🎉

The scraper now:

  • Processes 10 pages of thesinglesjukebox.com
  • Adds song_index field starting from 0 for unique song identification
  • Caches all data to SQLite table singles_jukebox_reviews
  • main.tsx is now a script val (no HTTP trigger) for data collection
  • results.tsx is an HTTP endpoint that serves the cached JSON data
  • Handles errors gracefully with proper error responses

Usage:

  1. Run main.tsx to scrape and cache data (script val)
  2. Access results.tsx to get the JSON API of all cached reviews (HTTP val)

Database Schema:

CREATE TABLE singles_jukebox_reviews ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, song_index INTEGER NOT NULL, artist TEXT NOT NULL, song_title TEXT NOT NULL, href TEXT NOT NULL, overall_score REAL, reviewer TEXT NOT NULL, reviewer_url TEXT NOT NULL, review_text TEXT NOT NULL, review_score INTEGER NOT NULL )
