    <a class=here>Here</a>
    <a class=nothere>NotHere</a>
</body>

<!-- Pattern: partial HTML with variables ({ name }) -->
<a class=here>{ text }</a>
import easy_scraper

target = r"""<body>
    <b>NotMe</b>
    <a class=here>Here</a>
    <a class=nothere>NotHere</a>
</body>
"""  # newlines and spaces are all ignored.

# Matching innerText under a-tag with class="here"
pattern = "<a class=here>{ text }</a>"

easy_scraper.match(target, pattern)  # [{'text': 'Here'}]

Scraping links

target = r"""
<div>
    <div class=here>
        <a href="link1">foo</a>
        <a href="link2">bar</a>
        <a>This is not a link.</a>
        <div>
            <a href="link3">baz</a>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class=nothere>
        <a href="link4">bazzz</a>
    </div>
</div>
"""

# Marching links (href and innerText) under div-tag with class="here"
pattern = r"""
    <div class=here>
        <a href="{ link }">{ text }</a>
    </div>
"""

assert easy_scraper.match(target, pattern) == [
    {"link": "link1", "text": "foo"},
    {"link": "link2", "text": "bar"},
    {"link": "link3", "text": "baz"},
]

Scraping RSS (XML)

easy-scraper-py just uses html.parser for parsing, also can parse almost XML.

import easy_scraper
import urllib.request

body = urllib.request.urlopen("https://kuragebunch.com/rss/series/10834108156628842505").read().decode()
res = easy_scraper.match(body, "<item><title>{ title }</title><link>{ link }</link></item>")
for item in res[:5]:
    print(item)

Scraping Images

import easy_scraper
import urllib.request

url = "https://unsplash.com/s/photos/sample"
body = urllib.request.urlopen(url).read().decode()

# Matching all images
res = easy_scraper.match(body, r"<img src='{ im }' />")
print(res)

# Matching linked (under a-tag) images
res = easy_scraper.match(body, r"<a href='{ link }'><img src='{ im }' /></a>")
print(res)
