We have hosted the application scrapy in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about scrapy:

Scrapy is a fast, open source, high-level framework for crawling websites and extracting structured data from these websites. Portable and written in Python, it can run on Windows, Linux, macOS and BSD.

Scrapy is powerful, fast and simple, and also easily extensible. Simply write the rules to extract the data, and add new functionality if you wish without having to touch the core. Scrapy does the rest, and can be used in a number of applications. It can be used for data mining, monitoring and automated testing.

Features:

• Built-in support for the selection and extraction of data from HTML/XML sources through extended XPath expressions and CSS selectors, with helper methods for extracting using regular expressions
• Interactive shell console for using CSS and XPath expressions to scrape data
• Built-in support for generating feed exports in several different formats (JSON, XML, CSV) and their storage in various backends (S3, FTP, local filesystem)
• Support for encoding and auto-detection
• Strong extensibility support
• Plenty of built-in extensions and middlewares for cookies and session handling, robots.txt, crawl depth restriction and more
• Telnet console to hook into a Python console running inside your Scrapy process
• Reusable spiders, media pipeline, caching DNS resolver and more
