Comment on Show HN: CoolQLCool – Turn Websites into GraphQL Accessible APIs

Comments

Great project! I can imagine this may greatly improve web certain classes of scraping. @gavino I'm curious what tooling and architecture you used to put this together?

Sure! The backend is actually pretty straight forward, it's a NextJS app deployed on Now with a few added endpoints to handle the incoming GraphQL queries.

Then for actually turning the query into a digestable output I used the GraphQL schema builder that handles accepts HTML nodes from the requested page and grabs the right variables.
