katana VS colly

Using a few different methods. Pulling the sites I'm using Puppeteer and Katana (https://github.com/projectdiscovery/katana). To process and extract the information is tricky, most websites selling things put time into their metadata; this does make it easier. Additionally, a lot of the larger stores have common patterns between them. Failing all of this, I trained a Tensor flow model to understand how to read product pages. However, it's far from perfect and a journey of continual improvement.

Anyway, check out katana https://github.com/projectdiscovery/katana

Checkout https://github.com/projectdiscovery/katana It is right up there with any advanced web scraper you will find in python world or beyond.

Interesting. Can you compare it to colly? [0]

Last time I looked it was the most popular choice for scraping in Go and I have some projects using it.

Is it similar? Does it have more/less features or is it more suited for a different use case? (Which one?)

Sounds cool, but how is this different from Colly: https://github.com/gocolly/colly?

We could write some snippets mixing all these, but the best option in real life is to use a tool with it all, like Scrapy, pyspider, node-crawler (Node.js), or Colly (Go).

Unless you're specifically trying to do it using net/http, I recommend using colly. I've used it in a few scrappers and I love it!

In this blog, we will be covering the basics of web scraping in Go using the Fiber and Colly frameworks. Colly is an open-source web scraping framework written in Go. It provides a simple and flexible API for performing web scraping tasks, making it a popular choice among Go developers.
