ferret - Declarative web scraping

•    Go

ferret is a web scraping system aiming to simplify data extraction from the web for such things like UI testing, machine learning and analytics. Having its own declarative language, ferret abstracts away technical details and complexity of the underlying technologies, helping to focus on the data itself. It's extremely portable, extensible and fast. The following example demonstrates the use of dynamic pages. First of all, we load the main Google Search page, type search criteria into an input box and then click a search button. The click action triggers a redirect, so we wait till its end. Once the page gets loaded, we iterate over all elements in search results and assign the output to a variable. The final for loop filters out empty elements that might be because of inaccurate use of selectors.

Crawlme - Ajax crawling for your web application

•    Javascript

#Crawlme A Connect/Express middleware that makes your node.js web application indexable by search engines. Crawlme generates static HTML snapshots of your JavaScript web application on the fly and has a built in periodically refreshing in-memory cache, so even though the snapshot generation may take a second or two, search engines will get them really fast. This is beneficial for SEO since response time is one of the factors used in the page rank algorithm.Making ajax applications crawlable has always been tricky since search engines don't execute the JavaScript on the web sites they crawl. The solution to this is to provide the search engines with pre-rendered HTML versions of each page on your site, but creating those HTML versions has until now been a tedious and error prone process with many manual steps. Crawlme fixes this by rendering HTML snapshots of your web application on the fly whenever the Googlebot crawls your site. Apart from making the process of more or less manually creating indexable HTML versions of your site obsolete, this also has the benefit that Google will always index the latest version of your site and not some old pre-rendered version.

Corpus Crawler is a tool for Corpus Linguistics. Modern linguistic research works on language corpora, which are large samples of “real world” text. This crawler helps to build such corpora: it follows links to publicly accessible web pages known to be written in a certain language; it removes boilerplate and HTML markup; finally, it writes its output into plaintext files. The crawler implements the Robots Exclusion Standard, and it is intentionally slow so it does not cause much load on the crawled web sites.
