使用VBA从站点刮取innerHTML

我试图声明一个节点数组(这不是问题),然后在数组的每个元素中刮掉两个子节点的innerHTML - 以SE为例(使用IE对象方法),假设我试图在主页上抓取标题和问题提取,有一个节点数组(类名:&#34; question-summary < / EM>&#34;。)

然后是两个子节点(tile - 类名:&#34; question-hyperlink &#34;以及提取 - 类名:&#34; 摘录&#34;)我使用的代码如下:

Sub Scraper()
Dim ie As Object
Dim doc As Object, oQuestionShells As Object, oQuestionTitle As Object, oQuestion As Object, oElement As Object
Dim QuestionShell As String, QuestionTitle As String, Question As String, sURL As String

Set ie = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
sURL = "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/excel-formula"

QuestionShell = "question-summary"
QuestionTitle = "question-hyperlink"
Question = "excerpt"

With ie
    .Visible = False
    .Navigate sURL
End With

Set doc = ie.Document 'Stepping through so doc is getting assigned (READY_STATE = 4)

Set oQuestionShells = doc.getElementsByClassName(QuestionShell)

For Each oElement In oQuestionShells
    Set oQuestionTitle = oElement.getElementByClassName(QuestionTitle) 'Assigning this object causes an "Object doesn't support this property or method"
    Set oQuestion = oElement.getElementByClassName(Question) 'Assigning this object causes an "Object doesn't support this property or method"
    Debug.Print oQuestionTitle.innerHTML
    Debug.Print oQuestion.innerHTML
Next

End Sub

getElementByClassName不是一种方法。

您只能使用getElementsByClassName(请注意方法名称中的复数形式),它会返回IHTMLElementCollection

使用Object代替IHTMLElementCollection很好 - 但您仍然需要通过提供索引来访问集合中的特定元素。

假设每个oElement只有一个类question-summary的实例和一个类question-hyperlink的实例。然后你可以使用getElementsByClassName并在末尾使用(0)来拉出返回的数组的第一个元素。

所以你的代码更正是:

Set oQuestionTitle = oElement.getElementsByClassName(QuestionTitle)(0)
Set oQuestion = oElement.getElementsByClassName(Question)(0)

完整的工作代码(有一些更新,即使用Option Explicit并等待页面加载):

Option Explicit

Sub Scraper()

    Dim ie As Object
    Dim doc As Object, oQuestionShells As Object, oQuestionTitle As Object, oQuestion As Object, oElement As Object
    Dim QuestionShell As String, QuestionTitle As String, Question As String, sURL As String

    Set ie = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
    sURL = "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/excel-formula"

    QuestionShell = "question-summary"
    QuestionTitle = "question-hyperlink"
    Question = "excerpt"

    With ie
        .Visible = True
        .Navigate sURL
        Do
            DoEvents
        Loop While .ReadyState < 4 Or .Busy
    End With

    Set doc = ie.Document

    Set oQuestionShells = doc.getElementsByClassName(QuestionShell)

    For Each oElement In oQuestionShells
        'Debug.Print TypeName(oElement)

        Set oQuestionTitle = oElement.getElementsByClassName(QuestionTitle)(0)
        Set oQuestion = oElement.getElementsByClassName(Question)(0)

        Debug.Print oQuestionTitle.innerHTML
        Debug.Print oQuestion.innerHTML
    Next

    ie.Quit

End Sub
