knot-warc - Python library to work with Web ARChive files

Note: This is one of forks of original WARC repository. It was primarily created for projects of Knowledge Technology Research Group, but its public-wide usage isn't limited.

WARC (Web ARChive) is a file format for storing web crawls (see http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/).

Examples

This warc library makes it very easy to work with WARC files:

import warc
with warc.open("test.warc") as f:
    for record in f:
        print(record['WARC-Target-URI'], record['Content-Length'])

And WET files:

import warc
with warc.open("test.warc.wet") as f:
    for record in f:
        print(record['WARC-Target-URI'], record['Content-Length'])

There are some examples provided without warranty and support (just for inspiration) in examples folder. They are not updated at all, too.

The documentation of this fork of the warc library is on Github Pages (alternatively see original documentation).
