Daily Automatic Testing

The test suite is scheduled to run daily, so you can see if the supermarket chains have changed something in their interface and the package will not work properly.

Status:

Notice:

• Berekt and Quik are flaky! They will not fail the testing framework, but you can still use them.
• Some of the scrapers sites are blocked from being accessed from outside of Israel.

What is il_supermarket_scarper?

There are a lot of projects in GitHub trying to scrape the supermarket data, but most of them are not stable or haven't been updated for a while, it's about time there will be one codebase that does the work completely.

You only need to run the following code to get all the data currently shared by the supermarkets.

from il_supermarket_scarper import ScarpingTask

scraper = ScarpingTask()
scraper.start()

Please notice! Since new files are constantly uploaded by the supermarket to their site, you will only get the current snapshot. In order to keep getting data, you will need to run this code more than one time to get the newly uploaded files.

Quick start

il_supermarket_scarper can be installed using pip:

python3 pip install il-supermarket-scraper

If you want to run the latest version of the code, you can install it from the repo directly:

python3 -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/OpenIsraeliSupermarkets/israeli-supermarket-scarpers.git
# or if you don't have 'git' installed
python3 -m pip install -U https://github.com/OpenIsraeliSupermarkets/israeli-supermarket-scarpers/main

Running Docker

The docker is designed to re-run against the same configuration, in every iteration the scraper will collect the files available to download and check if the file already exists before fetching it, either by scanning the dump folder, or checking the mongo/status files.

Build yourself:

docker build -t erlichsefi/israeli-supermarket-scarpers --target prod .

or pull the existing image from docker hub:

docker pull erlichsefi/israeli-supermarket-scarpers:latest

Then running it using:

docker run  -v "./dumps:/usr/src/app/dumps" \
            -e ENABLED_SCRAPERS="BAREKET,YAYNO_BITAN" \   # see: il_supermarket_scarper/scrappers_factory.py
            -e ENABLED_FILE_TYPES="STORE_FILE" \          # see: il_supermarket_scarper/utils/file_types.py
            -e LIMIT=1 \                                  # number of files you would like to download (remove for unlimited)
            -e TODAY="2024-10-23 14:35" \                 # the date to download data from
            erlichsefi/israeli-supermarket-scarpers
