NAMES
Scrapar - Just another web scraping framework
DESCRIPTION
This module helps you write scrapers in a more clean and efficient way.
It is mainly divided into 3 parts: Backend, Extractor, and Data Handler.
- A backend is a module that fetches and calls extractors and
handles data by calling data handlers.
- An extractor is a text processing module that extracts
information from a text string.
- A data handler takes the extracted information and renders it in
different ways.
USAGE
To run the scraper is very easy. You just need to call the main
scraper with a backend.
# If you install Scrapar in system directories, you just run scrape.pl
% scrape.pl -b Backend
# If you are running in the untarred directory, you just run it
# from the bin directory
% ./bin/scrape.pl -b Backend
