vinbudin

Fetches product data from www.vinbudin.is

Why?

Vínbúðin does not provide an open API. This package can be used to analyse their product data or create something else from it.

How?

This package extracts data from www.vinbudin.is and returns a JSON Object.

CLI

The quickest way to try this package out is using the CLI:

npx vinbudin

This will allow you to select what product categories you want to fetch. The data will be saved as a products.json file in the same folder that you ran the package.

Usage

Install from npm and save to your package.json:

npm install vinbudin --save

Methods

vinbudin.get(products) -> promise

Gets products from www.vinbudin.is

• products (Object) is an options object that you can optionally pass in if you want some subset of the data.

It looks like this:

{
  beers: true,
  redWines: true,
  whiteWines: true,
  roseWines: true,
  sparklingWines: true,
  dessertWines: true,
  cidersAndSodas: true,
  spirits: true,
}

Examples

Basic

const vinbudin = require("vinbudin");

vinbudin.get().then((products) => {
  // Handle the data
  console.log(products);
});

// You can also provide an options object to get specific data
vinbudin
  .get({
    beers: true,
    spirits: true,
  })
  .then((products) => {
    // Handle the data
    console.log(products);
  });

Saving results to a local file

const vinbudin = require("vinbudin");
const fs = require("fs");

async function vinbudinExample() {
  const products = await vinbudin.get();

  fs.writeFile(
    "data.json",
    JSON.stringify(products, null, 2),
    "utf8",
    (err) => {
      if (err) {
        return console.log(err);
      }

      console.log("Fetch complete, see './data.json'");
    },
  );
}

vinbudinExample();
