scrapinghelper 0.5.13

Utility for web scraping.

ScrapingHelper

This library intends to make parsing HTML with using request_html. So, When using this library you automatically get (same as request_html):

• Full JavaScript support!
• CSS Selectors (a.k.a jQuery-style, thanks to PyQuery).
• XPath Selectors, for the faint of heart.
• Mocked user-agent (like a real web browser).
• Automatic following of redirects.
• Connection– pooling and cookie persistence.
• The Requests experience you know and love, with magical parsing abilities.
• Async Support

And new features.

• URL / PROXY parser with validator.
• UserAgent manager using collected real user-agents.
• proxy rotation suppport.
• access with random wait time
• shell environment options.
• logging support.

Tutorial and Usage

class URL

• validator()
• unquote() / decode()
• enquote() / encode()

In [1]: from scrapinghelper import URL

In [2]: u = URL()

In [3]: u.validator('http://sample.om')
Out[3]: True

In [4]: u.validator('http://sample.')
Out[4]: False

In [5]: url = URL('http://www.example.com/sample?src=git&encode=jp')

Out[12]: 'http://www.example.com/sample?src=csv&encode=jp'

In [13]: url
Out[13]: http://www.example.com/sample?src=git&encode=jp

In [14]: url.set_query_val('src', 'csv',update=True)
Out[14]: 'http://www.example.com/sample?src=csv&encode=jp'

In [15]: url
Out[15]: http://www.example.com/sample?src=csv&encode=jp

In [16]: url.get_root_address()
Out[16]: 'http://www.example.com'

In [17]: url.strip_query()
Out[17]: 'http://www.example.com/sample'

In [18]: url = URL('https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/日本語')

In [19]: url
Out[19]: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E8%AA%9E

In [20]: url.unquote()
Out[20]: 'https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/日本語'

In [21]: url.decode()
Out[21]: 'https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/日本語'

render() and PROXY

if passed render=False, request() skip call render(). render() of requests-html does not work with proxy. scrapinghelper support render() with proxy.

you can filename as url. i.e.:

p = ProxyManager('file://./myproxy_list.txt')

there uri expand as follows.

        if proxies_url.startswith('file://.'):
            proxies_url = proxies_url.replace('file://.','')
            this_directory = Path(__file__).parent
            proxies_url = 'file://{}/{}'.format(this_directory, proxies_url)

CAUTION if you use a free proxy to login to something or enter personal information and POST it, you must be assured that it will be leaked. Keep in mind, it is like writing your credit card number and security code on a postcard.

KNOWN PROBLEM
