Using CasperJS to scrape an infinite scroll page

This is a short script to scrape an infinite scroll page and write the resulting HTML to a file

You'll need to install CasperJS; on a Mac that will involve brew install casperjs --devel (if you don't have Homebrew, you can read how to do so here)

To run the script, you can use casperjs scrape.js --ssl-protocol=any from the command line.

NGINX Tuning For Best Performance

For this configuration you can use web server you like, i decided, because i work mostly with it to use nginx.

Generally, properly configured nginx can handle up to 400K to 500K requests per second (clustered), most what i saw is 50K to 80K (non-clustered) requests per second and 30% CPU load, course, this was 2 x Intel Xeon with HyperThreading enabled, but it can work without problem on slower machines.

You must understand that this config is used in testing environment and not in production so you will need to find a way to implement most of those features best possible for your servers.

Environment variables in Jekyll templates

This is one way to pass some data (API tokens, etc.) to your Jekyll templates without putting it in your _config.yml file (which is likely to be committed in your GitHub repository).

Copy the environment_variables.rb plugin to your _plugins folder, and add any environment variable you wish to have available on the site.config object.

In a Liquid template, that information will be available through the site object. For example, _layouts/default.html could contain:
