New Website: The Guardian!

[randomer108]

I'm new to coding, and though making a schema would be a good project in the medium term, 50% of what I cook is Meera Sodha at the moment, so would be great to have The Guardian supported! Absolute treasure trove of vegan (and otherwise) bangers!

Hi @randomer108

This is a site I've looked at creating a scraper for before. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be able to support it for the time being.

• There is no Recipe schema data embedded in the page.
• Normally that would mean trying scraping the HTML however there's no easily distinguishable CSS selectors that we can use.
  • All the ingredients are wrapped in a single <p> element, and the same with all the instructions. Even worse is that they both have the same CSS class, which is the same as other <p> elements on the page.
  • The CSS class names look like they're auto-generated, which makes it likely to change in the future and break any scraping that relied on them.
