Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Simple Node XML Scraper

A very simple XML Scraper that will search for all the <loc></loc> tags within an XML index sitemap. One-by-one it will then perform an HTTP GET for each of those links, the response for each link will then be crawled and eventually saved into a separate .csv file.

Set-up

  • Run npm install to install all the dependancies.
node app.js --sitemap_index_url=http://www.nytimes-se.com/nytse/sitemap.xml

Cron

  • This node application features a running internal cron job that can be set using a regular cron expression and using the cron_schedule= flag within the CLI command for this job. The following command will scrap on the 30 minute marker the specified sitemap.
node app.js --sitemap_index_url=http://www.nytimes-se.com/nytse/sitemap.xml --cron_schedule="30 * * * *"

Saving

  • Files by default are saved into an XML format. Plans for CSV formatting will be made available.
