Grabs meta information of bookmarked courses on Frontend Masters and sends to Airtable page
Frontend Masters is a great site with courses for frontend engineers
where
you can find both deep UI engineering stuff and some unusual courses on Security, Rust, Go or Python, etc.
So here is a tiny tool
, which helps me scrap my bookmarked courses' meta data (Author, Course Link, Length, etc.) and
store in a more convenient place like Airtable
.
I have near 35 courses bookmarked
, so I decided it will be much more convenient (and obviously more fun) to write a few scripts for that.
All the magic is done with Puppeeteer
, which goes through the Sign in process, finds the right page and fetches the needed meta data.
Next phase is writing down this information into Airtable
page with a help of Airtable.js and voilà.
If the Airtable.js
documentation does not look very comprehensive, a lot more useful docs can be found at https://airtable.com/api
