 * # Prelude:
 * Back in 2019, I was introduced to the Ecosia search engine
 * I never really liked it, it was pretty terrible in my opinion.
 * Search results are pretty eh, and image results frequently pops up unwanted images.
 *
 * In 2020, I decided to use it for an image scraping project, why you ask?
 * Since nobody uses it anymore, Search results come faster than Bing,
 * despite having the same engine as Bing.
 * Plus the image results are surprisingly readable,
 * which is why it only took a few minutes for me to write this.
 *
 * The image source output of Ecosia looks like this:
 * ```
 * <a
 *      class="image-result js-image-result js-infinite-scroll-item"
 *      style="background-color:#C19E0A; -m   s-flex-positive: 1.781954887218045; flex: 1.781954887218045;"
 *      href="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/btR7RBlXy7A/maxresdefault.jpg"
 *      data-image-id="EEE6638481CBC1B79506F1BD4BB3E6047AD1DC1C"
 *      data-src="https://tse4.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.oSlHwY9Yf55r-dYp50AEZgHaEK&amp;pid=Api"
 *      target="_blank"
 * >
 * ```
 *
 * While Google is COMPLETELY unparsable,
 * it's a mess to figure that out.
 *
 * So TL;DR:
 * I took advantage of a dead search engine and used it
 * to make one of the simplest image scrapers that actually still works today.
 *
 * # Recommended Requirements (May still work in previous or future versions of dependencies):
 * * axios 0.19
 * * node-html-parser 1.2
 *
 * # Examples:
 *
 * ## Get all possible results and console.log them.
 * ```
 * const { scrape } = require("ecosia.js");
 *
 * async function example() {
 *   const results = await scraper("Banana").attributes.href;
 *   console.log(results);
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * ## Get a random result and console.log it.
 * ```
 * const { scrape } = require("ecosia.js");
 *
 * async function example() {
 *   const result = await scraper("Banana")[Math.floor(Math.random() * rawResults.length)].attributes.href;
 *   console.log(result);
 * }
 * ```

const axios = require("axios");

/**
 * Scrapes Ecosia and returns a random image as a string from it.
 *
 * @param  {string} keyword Keyword that's used to query Ecosia.
 * @return {string} A randomly generated result from Ecosia passed as a string.

module.exports = async function scrape(keyword) {
  try {
    const url = `https://ecosia.org/images?q=${keyword}`;

    // Request the page
    const response = await axios.get(url);

    // Parse the response
    const dom = parse(response.data);
    const imgs = dom.querySelectorAll("a.image-result");

    return imgs;
  } catch (err) {
    console.error("", `[Info] Error: Unable to GET ${url}`);
    console.log(err);
  }
};

The HTML file that I want to scrape looks a bit like this https://pastebin.com/CSJ82fUa
