dandrews / get_angel_tags.js
Created April 11, 2013 00:26
Scrape Market tags from http://angel.co/markets using CasperJS. This script is a basic example, and so it doesn't click any of the dropdown arrows or the 'More' buttons, so it only returns the top-level tags.
var utils = require('utils');
var markets_url = 'https://angel.co/markets';
var casper = require('casper').create({
// verbose: true,
// logLevel: 'debug',
pageSettings: {
