I'm currently trying out some code which is meant to look for a specific torrent of Kickass Torrents as a proof of concept, but for some reason my simple code is failing to retun any value besides null, depsite the fact that I have confirmed that a torrent exists with the ID that I have in the program.
searchTerm = "photoshop"
var request = require("request"),
cheerio = require("cheerio"),
url = "https://kat.cr/usearch/" + searchTerm + "/";
request(url, function (error, response, body) {
if (!error) {
var $ = cheerio.load(body),
magnet = $("[data-id='233B2C174D5FEF9D6AFAA61D150EC0B6F821D6A9'] href").html();
console.log(magnet)
}
});

The main KickAssTorrents site, kat.cr, encrypts the data that is returned. Instead, you could use http://kickasstorrentseu.com, which doesn't encrypt what is returned
