ruiavsferret
Ruia is an async web scraping micro-framework, written with asyncio and aiohttp, aims to make crawling url as convenient as possible.
Ruia is inspired by scrapy however instead of Twisted it's based entirely on asyncio and aiohttp.
It also supports various features like cookies, headers, and proxy, which makes it very useful in dealing with complex web scraping tasks.
Ferret is a web scraping system. It aims to simplify data extraction from the web for UI testing, machine learning, analytics and more. ferret allows users to focus on the data. It abstracts away the technical details and complexity of underlying technologies using its own declarative language. It is extremely portable, extensible, and fast.
Features
- Declarative language
- Support of both static and dynamic web pages
- Embeddable
- Extensible
Ferret is always implemented in Python through pyfer
Example Use
#!/usr/bin/env python
