Idea

Curious how many OTF studios are there around the world.

tl;dr

🟡 With the help with ChatGPT & Chrome developer tool bar, we’re able to extract all studio locations from OTF’s page -

You can download the JSON blob on Github⁠

A bit more

on what needs to run to generate the JSON blob on your own.

Answer: 1495 ✌️

What’s next?

Map it out on Google Maps maybe?

Raw Notes

Randomly curious about where all studios are in OTF.

Found a page that contains a list of all OTF studios on

orangetheory.com⁠

—

https://www.orangetheory.com/en-us/studio-location⁠

⁠

Use Chrome debugger to inspect the CSS locator of each studio’s location, and this should be sufficient — .studios-cl-wrapper [role="listitem"] .w-embed

Locate the first outerHTML, so we have an HTML element to feed into ChatGPT, so I don’t have to write code. :-) document.querySelectorAll('.studios-cl-wrapper [role="listitem"] .w-embed')[0].outerHTML

Feed that into ChatGPT to convert the data into JSON blob — And... Bingo!

⁠

Use the extractInfo function above, and feed it into a forEach(...) loop from the querySelectorAll(...) output, and now we got our JSON.

Good enough of a stopping point — It’d be great if we could add studio ID as a part of JSON payload — Maybe next time if I’m interested.

[Updated on 2023-02-01] The CSS selector unfortunately creates duplicate (Thanks to

u/canopyroads⁠

pointing this out!), so we’ll need to do some quick deduplication (Definitely not the best approach — I should fix it in CSS instead.)
