shutterstock-scraping-metadata

A Node.js package to scrape metadata from Shutterstock images and videos.

Description

This package allows you to programmatically extract metadata such as contributor, keywords, categories, and descriptions from Shutterstock asset URLs. It utilizes the jsdom library to parse the HTML content of Shutterstock pages and retrieve the desired information.

Installation

You can install this package using npm:

npm install shutterstock-scraping-metadata

Here's a basic example of how to use the package:

const scrapeMetadata = require('shutterstock-scraping-metadata');

async function main() {
  const imageUrl = '[https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/bright-spring-view-cameo-island-coast-1047730157](https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/bright-spring-view-cameo-island-coast-1047730157)'; // Example Shutterstock image URL
  const videoUrl = '[https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-10758438-woman-enjoying-sunset-ocean-beach-feeling](https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-10758438-woman-enjoying-sunset-ocean-beach-feeling)'; // Example Shutterstock video URL

  try {
    const imageMetadata = await scrapeMetadata(imageUrl);
    console.log('Image Metadata:', imageMetadata);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error scraping image metadata:', error);
  }

  try {
    const videoMetadata = await scrapeMetadata(videoUrl);
    console.log('Video Metadata:', videoMetadata);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error scraping video metadata:', error);
  }
}

main();

Functionality (Example - Adjust based on your actual implementation)

The scrapeMetadata function (or whatever you name your main exported function) should:

1. Take a Shutterstock URL (either image or video page) as input.
2. Fetch the HTML content of the URL.
3. Use jsdom to parse the HTML.
4. Extract relevant metadata such as:
   • Contributor Name
   • Keywords/Tags
   • Categories
   • Description/Caption
5. Return an object containing the extracted metadata.

Dependencies

• jsdom: Used for parsing the HTML content.
