robots.txt is important when scraping website

This module will help you parse robots.txt

Install

$ pip install robotsparsetools

Usage

Please create an Parse instance first

from robotsparsetools import Parse

p = Parse(url) # Create an instance. Returns a Parse class with the useragent as the key

# Get allow list
p.Allow(useragent)

# Get disallow list
p.Disallow(useragent)

# Get value of Crawl-delay
p.delay(useragent)

# Find out if crawls are allowed
p.can_crawl(url, useragent)

If no useragent is specified, the value of '*' will be referenced

Also, since the Parse class inherits from dict, you can also use it like dict

from robotsparsetools import Parse

p = Parse(url)
p["*"]
p.get("*") # Can also use get method

Also, there are two error classes

from robotsparsetools import NotURLError, NotFoundError
