robotsparsetools

Usage

Parse

Please create an Parse instance first

from robotsparsetools import Parse

url = "URL of robots.txt you want to 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(Return value is int or None)
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

Read(✨ new in 1.2.1)

You can parse its contents by passing a text or local path to Read

from robotsparsetools import Read
import requests

url = "URL of robots.txt you want to parse"
r = requests.get(url)
p = Read(r.text)

path = "File path of robots.txt you want to parse"
p = Read(path)

The return value is a Parse instance

Error Classes
