Scrape Go Report Card

Scrape is minimalistic depth controlled web scraping project. It can be used as command-line tool or integrate it in your project. Scrape also supports sitemap generation as an output.

Scrape Response

Once the Scraping is done on given URL, the API returns the following structure.

// Response holds the scrapped response
package scrape

import (
	"net/url"
	"regexp"
)

type Response struct {
	BaseURL      *url.URL            // starting url at maxDepth 0
	UniqueURLs   map[string]int      // UniqueURLs holds the map of unique urls we crawled and times each url is repeated
	URLsPerDepth map[int][]*url.URL  // URLsPerDepth holds urls found in each depth
	SkippedURLs  map[string][]string // SkippedURLs holds urls extracted from source urls but failed domainRegex (if given) and are invalid.
	ErrorURLs    map[string]error    // errorURLs holds details as to why reason the url was not crawled
	DomainRegex  *regexp.Regexp      // restricts crawling the urls to given domain
	MaxDepth     int                 // MaxDepth of crawl, -1 means no limit for maxDepth
	Interrupted  bool                // true if the scrapping was interrupted
}

Command line:

Installation:

go get github.com/vedhavyas/scrape/cmd/scrape/

func StartWithDepth(ctx context.Context, url string, maxDepth int) (resp *Response, err error)

StartWithDepth will start the scrapping with given max depth and base url domain

StartWithDepthAndDomainRegex
func StartWithDepthAndDomainRegex(ctx context.Context, url string, maxDepth int, domainRegex string) (resp *Response, err error) 

StartWithDepthAndDomainRegex will start the scrapping with max depth and regex

StartWithRegex
func StartWithDomainRegex(ctx context.Context, url, domainRegex string) (resp *Response, err error)

StartWithRegex will start the scrapping with no depth limit(-1) and regex
