爬了10000张NASA关于火星探索的图片，我发现了一个秘密

前言

最近，我使用爬虫技术，爬取了美国航空航天局，也就是你电影里经常见到的 NASA, 火星探索的相关图片，有 10000 张吧。

嗯嗯，小事情，小事情。

完事儿之后，有点小激动，于是就有了这篇文章，将有以下内容：

我为什么要爬取NASA的图片
我是如何爬取NASA图片的（超详细）

我发现了什么秘密（超劲爆）

我为什么要爬NASA的图片

我已经超过35了，瑟瑟发抖啥时候被开了。

天天想着万一哪天失业了干点啥，想着玩个自媒体吧，天天给大家瞎白话。白话点历史谜团，宇宙奥秘啥的，于是我就盯上了 NASA。

NASA 有各种宇宙探索任务，并且有相关的文章，访谈，图片，视频公开，这是不可多得的资源库。

我是如何爬取NASA图片的（超详细）

NASA 的网站是可以公开访问的，地址是

https://www.nasa.gov/

打开以后，它首页长这样，可以看到各种内容。右上角还有个搜索框，我们输入 Mars 也就是 火星

稍等片刻，会展示出与 Mars 相关的各种内容，其中有一项 Mars Exploration 也就是 火星探索

点开之后，就到了一个新页面，然后找到 Images 图片，就到了我们爬取的目标页

https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mars/images/index.html

页面下拉，你将会看到有个大大的按钮，上面写着 MORE IMAGES，点击试试你就发现：

页面的内容，并不是页面直接加载的，而是通过 api 请求后，异步渲染的

F12, 打开浏览器开发者模式,重新执行刚才的步骤，观察请求信息，发现都会有如下的情况

看上去这个url地址非常重要，我们先看他的请求地址：

https://www.nasa.gov/api/2/ubernode/_search?size=24&from=24&sort=promo-date-time%3Adesc&q=((ubernode-type%3Aimage)%20AND%20(topics%3A3152))&_source_include=promo-date-time%2Cmaster-image%2Cnid%2Ctitle%2Ctopics%2Cmissions%2Ccollections%2Cother-tags%2Cubernode-type%2Cprimary-tag%2Csecondary-tag%2Ccardfeed-title%2Ctype%2Ccollection-asset-link%2Clink-or-attachment%2Cpr-leader-sentence%2Cimage-feature-caption%2Cattachments%2Curi

注意看里面的参数

size=24&from=24

很显然，size 就是每次请求图片的数量，from 经过试验，是查询初始位置，我们可以改它来获取其他内容

我们再来看看它的返回信息：

上面的 json 内容太长，我删除了一些重复的，实际上 hits 这个数组，也是24个，和页面上显示的图片数量是一样的。那基本可以断定，页面上的信息，就是从这个数组来的。

进而对比发现，master-image字段下，就是我们需要的信息，包括 图片地址, 图片尺寸, 图片标题。

下面就上代码，组装请求URL, 获取内容，下载图片三步走

我使用了 Dart 语言，你们随意

import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:dio/dio.dart';
main() async {
  // 每页数量是固定24个,改变初始值即可
  for (int from = 0; from < 24 * 100; from = from + 24) {
    await getPage(from);
  }
}
//获取每一页的信息并且下载
Future<void> getPage(int from) async {
  String url = 'https://www.nasa.gov/api/2/ubernode/_search?size=24&from=' +
      from.toString() +
      '&sort=promo-date-time%3Adesc&q=((ubernode-type%3Aimage)%20AND%20(topics%3A3152))&_source_include=promo-date-time%2Cmaster-image%2Cnid%2Ctitle%2Ctopics%2Cmissions%2Ccollections%2Cother-tags%2Cubernode-type%2Cprimary-tag%2Csecondary-tag%2Ccardfeed-title%2Ctype%2Ccollection-asset-link%2Clink-or-attachment%2Cpr-leader-sentence%2Cimage-feature-caption%2Cattachments%2Curi';
  //获取到内容
  var res = await Dio().get(url);
  var map = jsonDecode(res.toString());
  (map['hits']['hits'] as List<dynamic>).forEach((element) async {
    Uri fileUri = Uri.parse(getUri(element));
    String savePath = getSavePath(element);
    await Dio().downloadUri(fileUri, savePath);
    print('已下载: ' + savePath);
  });
}
//获取图片下载地址
String getUri(dynamic element) {
  String uri = element['_source']['master-image']['uri'].toString();
  uri = uri.replaceAll('public://',
      'https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/styles/full_width_feature/public/');
  return uri;
}
//处理信息，并且返回图片保存地址
String getSavePath(dynamic element) {
  String id = element['_id'];
  String fid = element['_source']['master-image']['fid'].toString();
  String title = element['_source']['master-image']['title'].toString();
  String uri = element['_source']['master-image']['uri'].toString();
  String savePath =
      id + '_' + fid + '_' + title.trim() + '.' + uri.split('.').last;
  savePath = savePath.replaceAll('/', '');
  savePath = savePath.replaceAll('\\', '');
  savePath = savePath.replaceAll('"', '');
  savePath = 'images/' + savePath;
  return savePath;
}

上面的代码，还是很简单的，有经验的同学应该一看就懂。

走起来吧。

我得到了什么

这些图片

还有这些

图片，图片标题都有了, 够看一个月了我估计。

我发现了什么秘密

这张图，我最喜欢了。一个如此清晰，一个如此浑浊，这是为什么？火星人的裂缝产生器？

好吧，真正的秘密是：

NASA 的网站竟然没有防采集，不信你也试试。。。
