topuniversities-scraper

An API to get a list of top universities based on the QS World University Rankings in various formats (HTML table, JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS feed).

Currently, the scraper supports two modes:

• Basic mode (to get a list of ranked universities with basic data like name, country, and link to its detail)
• Detailed mode (to get detailed information about the universities by visiting its detail pages)

• To scrape more information in the detailed mode
