ex: (disable javascript, else it will redirect): query nodejs

Installation

npm

npm i google-sr-selectors

pnpm

pnpm add google-sr-selectors

yarn

What are selectors?

Selectors form the backbone of packages like google-sr. These are predefined strings that outline the structure of specific HTML code representing the desired value. By utilizing selectors, we gain the ability to parse the HTML and precisely extract the intended information.

This package exports the selectors used to extract search result values from, google html page data we receive. Offered for purposes of contributors and other developers interested in parsing raw google search html.

WARNING

Google can update its HTML structure periodically, which could potentially disrupt the functionality of the package. While we do run a github action to test the package periodically, we may take time to patch package.

If you suspect that Google has updated all or some selectors and we have not yet patched the package, please create a github issue.
