customer-review-crawler - pure

A crawler to collect reviews infomation on Amazon.com.

Alternative way: amazonAPI

Quick Start Guide

Get reviews from one product

To get all reviews for a product, first get the Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) of the product. It is the 10-character alphanumeric ID followed by /product/ in the url. Then add the following code to the main function

	Item samsungTab3 = new Item("B00D02AGU4");
	samsungTab3.fetchReview();
	System.out.println(an_item.getReviews());

Common Exceptions

  1. java.io.IOException means that the item no longer exist on Amazon.com. You do not have to do anything with that item.
  2. java.net.SocketTimeoutException means that connection to the website is taking too long. Rerun the crawler on the items with this exception.
