HLS-scraper

This project is a webscraper for the Historical Dictionary of Switzerland (HDS).

Installation

pip install hlsscraper

Usage

Please use the already scraped hls_base.csv from 12.12.2022 as basis so only updates and new records need to be fetched. This will help not to stress HLS servers to much.

import hlsscraper

hlsscraper.scrape(
    base_csv_path=f"{os.getcwd()}/data/hls_base.csv",
    update_csv_path=f"{os.getcwd()}/data/hls_updates.csv",
    new_csv_path=f"{os.getcwd()}/data/hls_new.csv",
    last_scraping="12.12.2022",
    crawl_delay=20,  # as per https://hls-dhs-dss.ch/robots.txt
)
