The next-generation web scraping framework. The web has changed. Gone are the days when raw HTML parsing scripts were the proper tool for the job. Javascript and single-page applications are now the norms. Demand for data scraping and automation is higher than ever, from business needs to data science and machine learning. Our tools need to evolve. Ayakashi helps you build scraping and automation systems that are easy to build simple or sophisticated, highly performant, maintainable, and built for change. Ayakashi's way of finding things in the page and using them is done with props and domQL. Directly inspired by the relational database world (and SQL), domQL makes DOM access easy and readable no matter how obscure the page's structure is. Props are the way to package domQL expressions as re-usable structures which can then be passed around to actions or to be used as models for data extraction.
