# BobShop Book Scraper
This is a Spring Boot application that uses Selenium to scrape `bobshop.co.za` for books. It then makes some API calls to provide useful information about the books being sold. This application is perfect for shopping 2nd hand books.
## Requirements
- Java 8 or higher
- Gradle
- Selenium WebDriver
## Local Setup
1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Gamut73/bobshop-book-scraper.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory.
```bash
cd bobshop-book-scraper
```
3. Build the project using Gradle.
```bash
./gradlew build
```
4. Run the application.
```bash
./gradlew bootRun
```
## Docker Setup
This application can also be run using Docker. Follow the steps below to build and run the application in a Docker container.
1. Build the Docker image.
```bash
docker build -t bobshop-book-scraper .
```
2. Run the Docker container.
```bash
docker run -p 8080:8080 bobshop-book-scraper
```
The application will start and begin scraping `bobshop.co.za` for book information. The results will be available in the console output.
Please note that the Dockerfile assumes that the application's JAR file is located at `build/libs/BobShopBooksAPI-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar` and that the Chrome driver is located at `chrome_driver/chromedriver.exe`. If these files are located elsewhere, you will need to update the Dockerfile accordingly.
## Postman
Please see the postman collection under the postman folder for examples of how to interact with the API.
## Note
Please ensure that you have the appropriate WebDriver for your browser installed and available in your system's PATH. For more information on how to set this up, please refer to the [Selenium documentation](https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/en/webdriver/driver_requirements/).
