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. -

Crawlab
Distributed web crawler admin platform for spiders management
Golang-based distributed web crawler management platform, supporting various languages including Python, NodeJS, Go, Java, PHP and various web crawler frameworks including Scrapy, Puppeteer, Selenium. Please use docker-compose to one-click to start up. By doing so, you don't even have to configure MongoDB database. The frontend app interacts with the master node, which communicates with other components such as MongoDB, SeaweedFS and worker nodes. Master node and worker nodes communicate with each other via gRPC (a RPC framework). Tasks are scheduled by the task scheduler module in the master node, and received by the task handler module in worker nodes, which executes these tasks in task runners. Task runners are actually processes running spider or crawler programs, and can also send data through gRPC (integrated in SDK) to other data sources, e.g. MongoDB. -

pyspider
A powerful Spider(Web Crawler) system in Python
pyspider is a powerful Spider(Web Crawler) system in Python. Components are connected by message queue. Every component, including message queue, is running in their own process/thread, and replaceable. That means, when process is slow, you can have many instances of processor and make full use of multiple CPUs, or deploy to multiple machines. This architecture makes pyspider really fast. benchmarking. Since pyspider has various components, you can just run pyspider to start a standalone and third service free instance. Or using MySQL or MongoDB and RabbitMQ to deploy a distributed crawl cluster. To deploy pyspider in product environment, running component in each process and store data in database service is more reliable and flexible. To deploy pyspider components in each single processes, you need at least one database service. pyspider now supports MySQL, MongoDB and PostgreSQL. You can choose one of them.
