turbo-surf 0.2.7

Browserless, native-speed web crawler + extractor with a V8 JS-render tier (PyO3 binding over the turbo-surf Rust engine).

turbo-surf (Python)

Browserless, native-speed web crawler + extractor with a real V8 JS-render tier — a PyO3 binding over the turbo-surf Rust engine. Fetch-free: you pass a page's HTML in, and get a view out (Markdown, visible text, links, a typed extraction, an accessibility tree). For JS-gated pages, the engine runs the page's own scripts in a true V8 isolate over a native DOM — no headless Chromium.

import turbo_surf as ts

html = open("page.html").read()

ts.markdown(html, base_url="https://example.com/")   # -> Markdown str
ts.text(html)                                        # -> visible text
ts.links(html, base_url="https://example.com/")      # -> list[str]

# Typed extraction: a JSON schema maps field names to selector specs.
schema = '{"title": {"selector": "h1"}, "prices": {"selector": ".price", "list": true}}'
ts.extract(html, schema, base_url="https://example.com/")   # -> JSON str

# JS-gated page: run its own scripts, read the hydrated DOM.
hydrated = ts.render(html, script, base_url="https://example.com/")

Fatal faults (malformed schema JSON, a render-tier failure) raise turbo_surf.TurboSurfError; the non-JS views never raise.
