scrapelib is a library for making requests to less-than-reliable websites.
This repository has moved to Codeberg, GitHub will remain as a read-only mirror.
Source: https://codeberg.org/jpt/scrapelib
Documentation: https://jamesturk.github.io/scrapelib/
Issues: https://codeberg.org/jpt/scrapelib/issues
Features
scrapelib originated as part of the Open States project to scrape the websites of all 50 state legislatures and as a result was therefore designed with features desirable when dealing with sites that have intermittent errors or require rate-limiting.
Advantages of using scrapelib over using requests as-is:
- HTTP(S) and FTP requests via an identical API
- support for simple caching with pluggable cache backends
- highly-configurable request throtting
- configurable retries for non-permanent site failures
- All of the power of the suberb requests library.
Installation
scrapelib is on PyPI, and can be installed via any standard package management tool.
Example Usage
import scrapelib
s = scrapelib.Scraper(requests_per_minute=10)
# Grab Google front page
s.get('http://google.com')
# Will be throttled to 10 HTTP requests per minute
while True:
s.get('http://example.com')
