Latest blog post (July 25, 2024): npm package provenance.# Socket.IOBidirectional and low-latency communication for every platform### PerformantIn most cases, the connection will be established with WebSocket, providing a low-overhead communication channel between the server and the client.### ReliableRest assured! In case the WebSocket connection is not possible, it will fall back to HTTP long-polling. And if the connection is lost, the client will automatically try to reconnect.### ScalableScale to multiple servers and send events to all connected clients with ease.### Basic exampleRun this example on Replit / StackBlitz / CodeSandbox### Latest blog posts* July 25, 2024 - npm package provenance* July 12, 2024 - Socket.IO monorepo* March 29, 2024 - Three new adapters* January 12, 2024 - Chat platformBlog feed: RSS / atom### Our sponsorsThe same call, in code.
The capture above came back as markdown. These examples add a key, so you get browser rendering, proxies, and concurrency on socket.io.
import { SpiderBrowser } from "spider-browser";
const spider = new SpiderBrowser({
apiKey: process.env.SPIDER_API_KEY!,
});
await spider.connect();
const page = spider.page!;
await page.goto("https://socket.io");
// No selectors, no schema. Spider reads the page and names the fields.
const data = await page.scrape();
console.log(data);
await spider.close();import { Spider } from "@spider-cloud/spider-client";
const spider = new Spider({ apiKey: process.env.SPIDER_API_KEY! });
const result = await spider.scrapeUrl("https://www.socket.io", {
return_format: "markdown",
});
