Using RapidMiner to extract information from Websites

SteveMM

I am working on a project where I need to query eBay, Google Search, and Nike on consumer feedback.  Is this something that can be done using RapidMiner, or would I have to use an API for this?  I know there is web crawling or extract content; but this does not appear to provide the detailed results I am looking for.  Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank you

You can build all of this in RapidMiner but it will be complex (ie Xpath, etc). I suggest taking a look at our Mozenda extension. It's a nicer way to scrape content and bring it into RapidMiner.
