Geziyor is a blazing fast web crawling and web scraping framework. It can be used to crawl websites and extract structured data from them. Geziyor is useful for a wide range of purposes such as data mining, monitoring and automated testing.

Features:

  • JS Rendering
  • 5.000+ Requests/Sec
  • Caching (Memory/Disk/LevelDB)
  • Automatic Data Exporting (JSON, CSV, or custom)
  • Metrics (Prometheus, Expvar, or custom)
  • Limit Concurrency (Global/Per Domain)
  • Request Delays (Constant/Randomized)
  • Cookies, Middlewares, robots.txt
  • Automatic response decoding to UTF-8
  • Proxy management (Single, Round-Robin, Custom)

php-spider is a PHP library for web crawling and scraping. It allows developers to easily navigate and extract data from websites by simulating a web browser's behavior.

  • supports two traversal algorithms: breadth-first and depth-first
  • supports crawl depth limiting, queue size limiting and max downloads limiting
  • supports adding custom URI discovery logic, based on XPath, CSS selectors, or plain old PHP
  • comes with a useful set of URI filters, such as Domain limiting
  • supports custom URI filters, both prefetch (URI) and postfetch (Resource content)
  • supports custom request handling logic
  • supports Basic, Digest and NTLM HTTP authentication. See example.
  • comes with a useful set of persistence handlers (memory, file)
  • supports custom persistence handlers
  • collects statistics about the crawl for reporting
  • dispatches useful events, allowing developers to add even more custom behavior
  • supports a politeness policy

This Spider does not support Javascript.

Example Use


```go // This example extracts all quotes from quotes.toscrape.com and exports to JSON file. func main() { geziyor.NewGeziyor(&geziyor.Options{ StartURLs: []string{"http://quotes.toscrape.com/"}, ParseFunc: quotesParse, Exporters: []export.Exporter{&export.JSON{}}, }).Start() } func quotesParse(g *geziyor.Geziyor, r *client.Response) { r.HTMLDoc.Find("div.quote").Each(func(i int, s *goquery.Selection) { g.Exports <- map[string]interface{}{ "text": s.Find("span.text").Text(), "author": s.Find("small.author").Text(), } }) if href, ok := r.HTMLDoc.Find("li.next > a").Attr("href"); ok { g.Get(r.JoinURL(href), quotesParse) } } ```
```php use Example\StatsHandler; use VDB\Spider\Discoverer\XPathExpressionDiscoverer; use Symfony\Contracts\EventDispatcher\Event; use VDB\Spider\Event\SpiderEvents; use VDB\Spider\Spider; require_once('example_complex_bootstrap.php'); // Create Spider $spider = new Spider('http://dmoztools.net'); // Add a URI discoverer. Without it, the spider does nothing. In this case, we want tags from a certain
$spider->getDiscovererSet()->set(new XPathExpressionDiscoverer("//div[@id='catalogs']//a")); // Set some sane options for this example. In this case, we only get the first 10 items from the start page. $spider->getDiscovererSet()->maxDepth = 1; $spider->getQueueManager()->maxQueueSize = 10; // Let's add something to enable us to stop the script $spider->getDispatcher()->addListener( SpiderEvents::SPIDER_CRAWL_USER_STOPPED, function (Event $event) { echo "\nCrawl aborted by user.\n"; exit(); } ); // Add a listener to collect stats to the Spider and the QueueMananger. // There are more components that dispatch events you can use. $statsHandler = new StatsHandler(); $spider->getQueueManager()->getDispatcher()->addSubscriber($statsHandler); $spider->getDispatcher()->addSubscriber($statsHandler); // Execute crawl $spider->crawl(); // Build a report echo "\n ENQUEUED: " . count($statsHandler->getQueued()); echo "\n SKIPPED: " . count($statsHandler->getFiltered()); echo "\n FAILED: " . count($statsHandler->getFailed()); echo "\n PERSISTED: " . count($statsHandler->getPersisted()); // Finally we could do some processing on the downloaded resources // In this example, we will echo the title of all resources echo "\n\nDOWNLOADED RESOURCES: "; foreach ($spider->getDownloader()->getPersistenceHandler() as $resource) { echo "\n - " . $resource->getCrawler()->filterXpath('//title')->text(); } ```
