爬虫实战系列(九)：知乎热榜全爬取及词云制作

声明：本博客只是简单的爬虫示范，并不涉及任何商业用途。

一.前言

今天正值国庆中秋双节，但作为一个技术宅的我仍然是在寝室度过，在下午我还是习惯性地打开知乎，结果发现《姜子牙》冲到了知乎热榜第一，而我最近也有意向去看这部国产动漫。于是不了解风评的我准备利用爬虫+词云图对《姜子牙》的评价进行可视化，然后决定一波到底要不要去看，顺带的我也把热榜其他问题和对应的全部回答也扒了下来，下面是热榜全爬取的详细记录。

二.爬虫过程

2.1 所有问题对应回答页面链接获取

首先，进入知乎热榜页面(展示如下图)，可以看到热榜中一共包括了50个问题，这些问题的所有回答都是我们要爬取的目标。

随机选中一个问题右键检查即可查看所有的元素都包含在一个<section>...</section>块中，即：

我们点开其中的一个元素，可以发现对应的问题及其所指向的链接，即我们需要的链接：

2.2 获取单个问题页面的全部回答

在解决了热榜所有问题的链接获取之后，下面的问题就是如何爬取单个页面的所有回答了，我们打开《姜子牙》的链接，可以看到如下页面：

需要注意的是：该页面的所有回答并不会全部显示出来，而是当滚动条滚动到底部后才会出现新的回答，即它采用了Ajax 动态加载的技术。那该问题如何解决呢，我在开发者工具中，选中请求类型为XHR，结果果然看到了评论数据(json格式)：

我又继续滚动滑动条几次，得到如下几个链接：

观察上述链接我们可以看到变化的只有offset字段，而且是加5递增的，因此我们只需要改变该链接的offset字段即可获取到对应问题的全部回答所对应的链接。此外，我又打开了其他几个问题得到如下链接：

观察可知，不同问题的回答对应的链接的不同之处只包括问题ID和对应各自问题的offset，因此我们只需要在进入每个问题的回答页面时，将对应的问题ID和回答数获取即可获取包含所有回答的json数据。
注：具体如何从json数据中提取作者和对应的回答的过程就不详细介绍了。

2.3 爬虫结果保存

在爬取的过程中，由于首先要获取到热榜各个问题对应的链接，因此我将各个问题及其对应的回答页面的链接保存了下来，格式为csv，其所包含的字段展示如下：

另外，对于所有问题的回答都单独存为一个csv文件，每个csv文件包含的字段如下：

2.4 全过程流程总结

综上，爬虫的全过程已经一目了然了，首先是获取热榜所有问题的链接(顺便可以获取问题ID)，然后进入到具体的某个页面获取回答数，然后就可以构造链接来爬取回答了，最后将回答保存为csv格式，即：

最后爬取的50个问题都保存为了单独的csv文件，然后我分别对其进行了jieba分词，删除停用词，最后利用wordcloud模块都生成了各自的词云图，下面是《姜子牙》的某个问题所对应的词云图：
