4. Article source settings

Under this tab, we need to set the article list URL of the article source and the matching rules for specific articles

Let's take "Sina Internet News" as an example. The article list URL is http://roll.tech.sina.com.cn/internet_worldlist/index.shtml. So just enter the URL in the manual article list URL, as shown below:

After that, you need to set the matching rules for the specific article URLs under the article list URL.

5. Article URL Matching Rules

The article URL matching rules are very simple to set up, without any complicated settings. Two matching modes are provided. You can use URL wildcard matching or CSS selector matching. Usually, it is simpler to use URL wildcard matching.

1. Use URL wildcard matching

By clicking on the list URL http://roll.tech.sina.com.cn/internet_worldlist/index.shtml We can find that the URL of each article has the following structure:

http://tech.sina.com.cn/i/2013-06-27/16328485884.shtml

Therefore, just replace the changing numbers or letters in the URL with wildcards (*), such as: http://tech.sina.com.cn/i/(*)/(*).shtml

To use CSS selectors for matching, we only need to set the CSS selector of the article URL (if you don’t know what a CSS selector is, learn how to set it in one minute). http://roll.tech.sina.com.cn/internet_worldlist/index.shtml The source code can be easily set up by finding the code for the hyperlink to the specific article under the list URL, as shown below:

After the settings are completed, if you don’t know whether the settings are correct, you can click the test button in the above picture. If the settings are correct, all the article names and corresponding web page addresses under the list URL will be listed, as shown below:

6. Article crawling settings

Under this tab, we need to set the matching rules for article titles and article contents. Two methods are provided for setting. It is recommended to use the CSS selector method, which is simpler and more accurate. (If you don't know what a CSS selector is, learn how to set a CSS selector in one minute)

We only need to set the article title CSS selector and the article content CSS selector to accurately capture the article title and article content.

In the article source settings, we take the collection of "Sina Internet News" as an example. Here we will still use this example to explain. By viewing the list URL http://roll.tech.sina.com.cn/internet_worldlist/index.shtml For example, we can easily set it by looking at the source code of a specific article. http://tech.sina.com.cn/n/i/2013-06-10/06308430630.shtml The source code is as follows:

As you can see, the article title is inside the tag with the id "artibodyTitle", so the article title CSS selector only needs to be set to #artibodyTitle;

Similarly, find the relevant code for the article content:

As you can see, the article content is inside the tag with the id "artibody", so the article content CSS selector only needs to be set to #artibody; as shown below:

After the settings are completed, if you don't know whether the settings are correct, you can click the test button and enter the test address. If the settings are correct, the article title and article content will be displayed, which is convenient for checking the settings.

1. Crawl article page content

If the article is too long and has multiple pages, you can still crawl all the content. In this case, you need to set the article paging link CSS selector. By viewing the source code of the specific article URL, you can find the location of the paging link. For example, the paging link code of an article is as follows:

As you can see, the paging link A tag is inside the tag with class "page-link"

Therefore, the article pagination link CSS selector is set to .page-link a, as shown below:

If you check the box for pagination when publishing, published articles will also be paginated. If your WordPress theme does not support Label, do not check it.

2. Article content filtering function

The article content filtering function can filter out content that you do not want to publish in the text (such as advertising codes, copyright information, etc.). Two keywords can be set to delete the content between the two keywords. Keyword 2 can be empty, which means deleting all content after keyword 1.

As shown below, after testing and crawling the article, we found that there was content in the article that we did not want to publish. We switched to HTML display, found the HTML code of the content, and set two keywords respectively to filter out the content.

3.HTML tag filtering function

HTML tag filtering function can filter out hyperlinks (a tags) in collected articles.
