Description

This PyPI package is best described as a tool for scraping the vods.co website. Currently, the package only supports Super Smash Bros. Melee vods.

Installation

With Python installed, simply run the following command to add the package to your project.

python -m pip install vodscrepe

Usage

The following is an example usage of the package, which is also included in the repo as example.py:

from tqdm import tqdm

from vodscrepe import Scraper

s = Scraper('melee')

try:
    for vod in s.scrape(show_progress=True):
        tqdm.write(str(vod))
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    tqdm.write("Scraping terminated.")

This example lists information about the vods from the most recent to the last page in the following fashion:

python example.py > sets.txt

Then, the sets.txt file becomes populated with vod information...
