Scraping

I was wondering where I would start to try and recreate something
http://goohackle.com/scripts/google_parser.php where it just lists the
urls. I would be using it to check what pages of my site are listed
and then reporting it to my db. I can already do this for single pages
but I need to do it for my entire domain.

Any help is much appreciated
Thanks in advance!

I tried to input an URL likewww.veturi. comand got the list as
follows:http://www.veturi.com/http://www.vet....php?id=480531

I guess all the pages start withhttp://www.veturi.com/is what you
want. Right?
Well I was mainly wanting info on how I would make a script like that
one where it outputs the urls

The scraping process is as follows:
1. The script sends a HTTP GET request to Google with the search terms
you want.
2. The script parses the useful information from the returned content.
3. The script outputs the result in the format you want.

I recommend "Webbots, Spiders, and Screen Scrapers" at
http://www.schrenk.com/nostarch/webbots/.
This book explains the basic techs used to scrape data from web.

Actually I used its techs when working on some projects at
GetAFreelancer. com and RentACoder.com.

OP:
Actually, the small print at the bottom of that page sounds like the
source code is in the tools link, no? Have you checked it? It sounds
like all he's doing is stripping out the URLs from a regular Google
search.

I've put together a Python package for scraping / testing pages that depend on embedded JavaScript code (without depending on IE, Mozilla or Konqueror, and with the DOM etc. all implemented in pure Python -- mostly a hacked 4DOM, with some bits from pxdom; the JavaScript interpreter I'm using ATM is spidermonkey). It's still missing a lot and is pre-alpha, but it works, just barely. Anyway, the point of this post is that I'm looking for...

I would like to perform a more classical type of "screen scraping" than what most people now associate with this term. I only want to find all the text on the current screen, and obtain associated screen coordinates. This probably must be done using OCR. This need only run on Windows. A fairly-pure Python solution would be ideal because most of the software which would use this functionality is also written in Python. The ideal...

Hi, I'm interested in learning about web scraping/site scraping using Python. Does anybody know of some online resources or have any modules that are available to help out.

I've been working on a web scraping program, and have the basics down. But I don't understand the parameters. Normally, you go to a URL (say a reverse yellow pages directory), and enter some parameters (like area code, phone number, etc.) and POST this back to the web. Then you parse the response, looking for the data you need. Ofen I see examples where the data you post contains something like "AreaCode=503&Number=5551212&x=1&y=2"
