grab-site
Web crawler for archiving and backing up sites into WARC archives
grab-site is an open source web crawling tool designed to archive and back up websites by recursively downloading their content. It works by taking a starting URL and systematically following links across the site, capturing pages and resources and saving them into WARC archive files for long-term preservation. Internally, the crawler uses a fork of the wpull engine to fetch and process web pages efficiently during large-scale crawls. grab-site includes a built-in dashboard that displays real-time crawl activity, including which URLs are currently being processed and how many remain in the queue. Users can dynamically apply ignore patterns during an active crawl, allowing them to skip problematic or unnecessary URLs that could slow down or block the archiving process. grab-site also provides predefined ignore sets for common site structures such as forums and other complex web platforms. Additional mechanisms like duplicate page detection help avoid re-crawling identical content. -

24
mlscraper
ML-based HTML scraper that learns extraction rules from examples
mlscraper is a Python library designed to automatically extract structured data from HTML pages without requiring developers to manually write CSS selectors or XPath rules. Instead of defining extraction logic by hand, users provide a few examples of the data they want to retrieve from a webpage. It analyzes those examples within the HTML document and determines patterns or rules that can be used to extract the same type of information from similar pages. Once trained, the generated scraper can process new pages and return the extracted data in structured formats such as dictionaries or lists. This approach simplifies web scraping tasks by shifting the focus from rule-writing to example-based training. Internally, the project processes HTML documents, identifies relevant elements in the DOM, and builds extraction logic based on statistical or heuristic analysis of the training samples. The result is a developer-oriented tool that aims to automate common scraping workflows. -

python-fxxk-spider
Collection of 100+ Python web scraping projects and crawler examples
python-fxxk-spider is a curated collection of Python web scraping and crawler projects gathered in a single repository for reference and learning. It aggregates many independent scraping examples that target a wide range of websites, online services, and public data sources. Instead of being a single crawler tool, it functions as a catalog of ready-made Python spider implementations that demonstrate different scraping techniques. python-fxxk-spider includes scrapers for social media, e-commerce platforms, job listings, music services, video platforms, and various content sites. Because websites frequently change their structure, some included projects may require adjustments before they can run successfully. It is designed as a long-term, continuously updated list of practical crawler implementations that developers can study, modify, and adapt to their own scraping tasks. It also highlights the importance of legal and responsible use of web scraping technologies.
