Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Webscraping beginner here ready to start leveling up to intermediate. Looking for some good webscraping repositories (e.g any of your GitHub repos/projects) that I can use as learning tools, and general recommendations for what to do next

Need help with downloading a section of multiple sites as pdf files.
You can use my library which also uses Playwright. I have an example here: https://github.com/roniemartinez/dude/discussions/116

Why do you use python for web scraping?
I also built a framework so I can easily switch between these libraries with less code change (still on hiatus for a few months before going back to it): https://github.com/roniemartinez/dude

Thank GOD for Poetry!
There's a lot of options but I am quite happy with Github Actions workflows + Poetry as it handles tests and publish to PyPI. Just an example, in my workflows, I deploy to TestPyPI and PyPI here: https://github.com/roniemartinez/dude/tree/master/.github/workflows

What stack or tools are you using for ensuring code quality and best practices in medium and large codebases ?
But for documentation, I use mkdocs-material as it can easily be used with minor customization and changes can be easily deployed in Github: https://roniemartinez.github.io/dude/
- Is there any thing Beautifulsoup can do that Scrapy can not?

Screenshotting site, but remove all popups.
Add an adblocker. I implemented Dude/pydude with the this and page results are clean without ads and pop-ups. For the screenshot, here is an example: https://github.com/roniemartinez/dude/discussions/116

which Python Library is best for scraping?
You can also use my library if you want things to be simpler:) https://github.com/roniemartinez/dude

For those of you using Python, what is your go to library to build your scraper?
I use my own library, Dude! https://github.com/roniemartinez/dude

Building a (relatively) easily adaptable, flexible web scraper (seeking conceptual advice)

I want to create IMDB for Open source projects
I had one of these recently! https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper/pull/133/files
They're /incredibly/ rare though.

If anyone wants the raw data, it's available in window._Flourish_data variable on https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/16818696/embed
Which means you can extract it with my https://shot-scraper.datasette.io/ tool like this:

Web Scraping in Python β The Complete Guide
I strongly recommend adding Playwright to your set of tools for Python web scraping. It's by far the most powerful and best designed browser automation tool I've ever worked with.
I use it for my shot-scraper CLI tool: https://shot-scraper.datasette.io/ - which lets you scrape web pages directly from the command line by running JavaScript against pages to extract JSON data: https://shot-scraper.datasette.io/en/stable/javascript.html

Donβt Build a General Purpose API to Power Your Own Front End (2021)
This is exactly what the `Accept` HTTP header is for https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Ac...
I think the author is generally correct that all JSON should be provided in a single request, but if you want to prove it, then you should be able to change your accept header to and from `application/json`/`text/html seeing nearly identical data.
In fact, this is what both GitLab and Github do. Try it out!
`curl -L https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper` (text/html)
`curl --header "Accept: application/json" -L https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper` (application/json)

Git scraping: track changes over time by scraping to a Git repository
Git is a key technology in this approach, because the value you get out of this form of scraping is the commit history - it's a way of turning a static source of information into a record of how that information changed over time.
I think it's fine to use the term "scraping" to refer to downloading a JSON file.
These days an increasing number of websites work by serving up JSON which is then turned into HTML by a client-side JavaScript app. The JSON often isn't a formally documented API, but you can grab it directly to avoid the extra step of processing the HTML.
I do run Git scrapers that process HTML as well. A couple of examples:
scrape-san-mateo-fire-dispatch https://github.com/simonw/scrape-san-mateo-fire-dispatch scrapes the HTML from http://www.firedispatch.com/iPhoneActiveIncident.asp?Agency=... and records both the original HTML and converted JSON in the repository.
scrape-hacker-news-by-domain https://github.com/simonw/scrape-hacker-news-by-domain uses my https://shot-scraper.datasette.io/ browser automation tool to convert an HTML page on Hacker News into JSON and save that to the repo. I wrote more about how that works here: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Dec/2/datasette-write-api/

Ask HN: Small scripts, hacks and automations you're proud of?
I have a neat Hacker News scraping setup that I'm really pleased with.
The problem: I want to know when content from one of my sites is submitted to Hacker News, and keep track of the points and comments over time. I also want to be alerted when it happens.
Solution: https://github.com/simonw/scrape-hacker-news-by-domain/
This repo does a LOT of things.
It's an implementation of my Git scraping pattern - https://simonwillison.net/2020/Oct/9/git-scraping/ - in that it runs a script once an hour to check for more content.
It scrapes https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=simonwillison.net (scraping the HTML because this particular feature isn't supported by the Hacker News API) using shot-scraper - a tool I built for command-line browser automation: https://shot-scraper.datasette.io/
The scraper works by running this JavaScript against the page and recording the resulting JSON to the Git repository: https://github.com/simonw/scrape-hacker-news-by-domain/blob/...
That solves the "monitor and record any changes" bit.
But... I want alerts when my content shows up.
I solve that using three more tools I built: https://datasette.io/ and https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-atom and https://datasette.cloud/
This script here runs to push the latest scraped JSON to my SQLite database hosted using my in-development SaaS platform, Datasette Cloud: https://github.com/simonw/scrape-hacker-news-by-domain/blob/...
I defined this SQL view https://simon.datasette.cloud/data/hacker_news_posts_atom which shows the latest data in the format required by the datasette-atom plugin.
Which means I can subscribe to the resulting Atom feed (add .atom to that URL) in NetNewsWire and get alerted when my content shows up on Hacker News!
I wrote a bit more about how this all works here: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Dec/2/datasette-write-api/
