随笔：使用Python爬取知乎上相关问题的所有回答

项目中数据分析的需要自己从知乎某个专门的问题上爬数据，但众所周知，知乎的问题的显示方式有点胃疼（指滑动后下翻加载更多回答，还经常卡住），翻了翻网上的教程发现有的要么就是很老了要么就是付费的，本着开源共赢的原则，写一篇记录一下自己踩过的坑，也给后面人警醒。

阅读前必知：

• 本文的方法是2023年10月的，如果过了时间太久可能就不管用了，请注意时效性；
• 部分代码由GitHub Copliot完成，可能存在错误，但是结果应该没问题；
• 代码写的比较辣鸡勿喷，解决方案也有点繁琐，但能用的方法就是好方法～

看之前参考了知乎这篇文章

方法1 使用Web scraper

Web scraper是一个很好用的轻量级的0代码爬虫工具，只需要安装chrome插件就可以使用，在google商店搜就可以了，按F12打开是这样的：

具体使用过程这里不再赘述，记得一定要先选块再选内容。这个的原理和selenium类似，模拟滚到顶端然后再收集，其实这个用来轻量级爬虫是很好的，但对我的任务来说（我的任务有2k多条回答），很容易滑不到顶端然后出现闪退的情况，这里附上我的sitemap，对回答较少的问题应该是可以使用的 ：

{"_id":"name","startUrl":["https://www.zhihu.com/question/xxxxxxxxx/answers/updated"],"selectors":[{"id":"block","parentSelectors":["_root"],"type":"SelectorElementScroll","selector":"div.List-item:nth-of-type(n+2)","multiple":true,"delay":2000,"elementLimit":2100},{"id":"content","parentSelectors":["block"],"type":"SelectorText","selector":"span[itemprop='text']","multiple":true,"regex":""},{"id":"user","parentSelectors":["block"],"type":"SelectorLink","selector":".AuthorInfo-name a","multiple":true,"linkType":"linkFromHref"},{"id":"date","parentSelectors":["block"],"type":"SelectorText",
"selector":".ContentItem-time span",
"multiple":true,"regex":""}]}

id就是名字（你这个任务的名字），然后url里面记得替换你要爬的问题id。

方法2 使用selenium

跟上面的原理差不多，滚动到最下面然后抓取页面，但跟上面存在相同的滚动满且卡顿、且知乎缓存导致爬不全的问题，这里也不多说直接附上代码，对小任务应该也是没问题的：

def scrape1(question_id):
    user_agents = [
        'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.3',

    ]
    url = f'https://www.zhihu.com/question/{question_id}'  # 替换question_id
    # 创建一个Options对象，并设置headers
    options = Options()
    options.add_argument("user-agent=" + random.choice(user_agents))
    # 传入cookie
    cookies = json.load(open('cookie.json', 'r', encoding='utf-8'))

    # options.add_argument("--headless")
    # 创建WebDriver时传入options参数
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
    driver.get(url)
    driver.delete_all_cookies()
    for cookie in cookies:
        driver.add_cookie(cookie)
    time.sleep(2)
    driver.refresh()
    time.sleep(5)  # 等待页面加载完成

      
    # items = []
    # question = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'div[class="QuestionPage"] meta[itemprop="name"]').get_attribute(
    #     'content')
    # while True:
    #     # 滚动到页面底部
    #     print('scrolling to bottom')
    #     driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
    #     time.sleep(random.randint(5, 8))  # 等待页面加载新内容的时间，根据实际情况进行调整
    #
    #     # 如果找到了页面底部元素就停止加载
    #     try:
    #         driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'button.Button.QuestionAnswers-answerButton')
    #         print('reached the end')
    #         break
    #     except:
    #         pass
    #
  
    html = driver.page_source

    # 解析HTML
    soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')

    # 获取所有回答的标签
    answers = soup.find_all('div', class_='List-item')

    df = pd.DataFrame()
    contents = []
    answer_ids = []
    driver.quit()

    for answer in answers:
        # 获取回答的文本内容
        content = answer.find('div', class_='RichContent-inner').get_text()
        contents.append(content)

    df['answer_id'] = answer_ids
    df['content'] = contents
    df.to_csv(f'{question_id}.csv', index=False, encoding='utf-8')

这里cookie自己准备，要么不好跳过最开始的登录过程。

方法3 使用requests配合beautiful soap

这也是我最后成功的方法，最主要的是支持断点接着工作（不用拖到底直接使用）

这里还参考了这篇文章：

https://blog.csdn.net/python03011/article/details/131307051?ops_request_misc=%257B%2522request%255Fid%2522%253A%2522169813072516800188539007%2522%252C%2522scm%2522%253A%252220140713.130102334.pc%255Fblog.%2522%257D&request_id=169813072516800188539007&biz_id=0&utm_medium=distribute.pc_search_result.none-task-blog-2_blogfirst_rank_ecpm_v1~times_rank-3-131307051-null-null.nonecase&utm_term=%E7%9F%A5%E4%B9%8E%E9%97%AE%E9%A2%98%E4%B8%8B%E6%89%80%E6%9C%89%E5%9B%9E%E7%AD%94&spm=1018.2226.3001.4450

原代码的核心代码是这样的：

#网址模板
template = 'https://www.zhihu.com/api/v4/questions/432119474/answers?include=data%5B*%5D.is_normal%2Cadmin_closed_comment%2Creward_info%2Cis_collapsed%2Cannotation_action%2Cannotation_detail%2Ccollapse_reason%2Cis_sticky%2Ccollapsed_by%2Csuggest_edit%2Ccomment_count%2Ccan_comment%2Ccontent%2Ceditable_content%2Cattachment%2Cvoteup_count%2Creshipment_settings%2Ccomment_permission%2Ccreated_time%2Cupdated_time%2Creview_info%2Crelevant_info%2Cquestion%2Cexcerpt%2Crelationship.is_authorized%2Cis_author%2Cvoting%2Cis_thanked%2Cis_nothelp%2Cis_labeled%2Cis_recognized%2Cpaid_info%2Cpaid_info_content%3Bdata%5B*%5D.mark_infos%5B*%5D.url%3Bdata%5B*%5D.author.follower_count%2Cbadge%5B*%5D.topics%3Bsettings.table_of_content.enabled%3B&offset={offset}&limit=5&sort_by=default&platform=desktop'

for page in range(1, 100):
    #对第page页进行访问
    url = template.format(offset=page)
    resp = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    
    #解析定位第page页的数据
    for info in resp.json()['data']:
        author = info['author']
        Id = info['id']
        text = info['excerpt']
        data = {'author': author,
                'id': Id,
                'text': text}
        #存入csv
        writer.writerow(data)
        
    #降低爬虫对知乎的访问速度
    time.sleep(1) 

但我试了下根本不符合我的要求，问题如下：

• 目前知乎改版后，excerpt属性并不能得到完整的答案；
• 目前知乎不用offset进行翻页了，而改用cursor，cursor很难找到规律，但实际上可以使用每个回答的next的指针。

成功思路

我的思路很简单，首先修改上面的代码获取answer_id，然后根据answer_id去爬每个对应的完整 回答。

首先说下模版网页如何获取。

我们点开我们想要的回答，刷新下找这个包：

[外链图片转存中…(img-pkPZH5Pz-1698149682893)]

这个就是我们要用的请求网址，可以看到offset一直是0，说明不管用了。

解决方法是先用一个起始的url0找到next：

import requests
import pandas as pd
import time

template = 'https://www.zhihu.com/api/v4/questions/30644408/feeds?cursor=1c4cacd45e70f24bd620bad51c605d59&include=data[*].is_normal,admin_closed_comment,reward_info,is_collapsed,annotation_action,annotation_detail,collapse_reason,is_sticky,collapsed_by,suggest_edit,comment_count,can_comment,content,editable_content,attachment,voteup_count,reshipment_settings,comment_permission,created_time,updated_time,review_info,relevant_info,question,excerpt,is_labeled,paid_info,paid_info_content,reaction_instruction,relationship.is_authorized,is_author,voting,is_thanked,is_nothelp;data[*].mark_infos[*].url;data[*].author.follower_count,vip_info,badge[*].topics;data[*].settings.table_of_content.enabled&limit=5&{offset}&order=default&platform=desktop&session_id=1698132896804376037'

df = pd.DataFrame()
# df有三列，answer_id和content以及创建日期
df['answer_id'] = []
df['content'] = []
df['created_time'] = []

answer_ids = []

headers = {'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/107.0.0.0 Safari/537.36'}

cookies = { 
# 填自己的z_0 cookie
    
}
# 第一条使用模版，后面的都是next来获取
url0 = template.format(offset=0)
resp0 = requests.get(url0, headers=headers,cookies=cookies)
for data in resp0.json()['data']:
        answer_id = data['target']['id']
        # 添加answer_id到df中
        answer_ids.append(answer_id)
next = resp0.json()['paging']['next']

for page in range(1,400):# 这里自己估算一下，每页是5条数据
    #对第page页进行访问
    resp = requests.get(next, headers=headers,cookies=cookies)
    print('正在爬取第' + str(page) + '页')
    
    for data in resp.json()['data']:
        answer_id = data['target']['id']
        # 添加answer_id到df中
        answer_ids.append(answer_id)
    next = resp.json()['paging']['next']
    time.sleep(3) # 这里是情况可快可慢
    
# 将answer_ids写入df
df['answer_id'] = answer_ids
df.to_csv('answer_id.csv', index=True)

这样就得到了我们需要的回答的answer_id。

第二步，根据answer_id爬内容：

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import pandas as pd
import random

contents = []

batch = 0
for answer_id in answer_ids:
    print('正在爬取answer_id为{answer_id}的数据'.format(answer_id=answer_id))
    url = 'https://www.zhihu.com/question/30644408/answer/{answer_id}'.format(answer_id=answer_id)
    try:
        resp = requests.get(url, headers=headers, cookies=cookies)
        soup = BeautifulSoup(resp.text, 'html.parser')
        # 查找content
        content = soup.find('div', class_='RichContent-inner').text
        contents.append(content)
        print(content)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f'爬取answer_id为{answer_id}的数据时出现异常：{e}')
        break
    
    time.sleep(random.randint(1,4))

    # 每爬取100个回答就保存一次数据,保存在不同的文件中
    
    if len(contents) % 100 == 0:
        new_data = {'answer_id': answer_ids[:len(contents)], 'content': contents}
        new_df = pd.DataFrame(new_data)
        new_df.to_csv(f'text_{batch}.csv', index=True)
        batch += 1

# new_data = {'answer_id': answer_ids[:len(contents)], 'content': contents}
# new_df = new_df.append(pd.DataFrame(new_data))
# new_df.to_csv('text1.csv', index=True)

这里爬100条保存一次，免得前功尽弃。
