odcrawler-scanner VS open-directory-downloader

ODCrawler: With it, as a bonus, you can download their database. It's an opensource project. Your contributions (manpower and financial) are welcome.

Open Directory Crawler https://odcrawler.xyz

Visit this site: ODCrawler. It's a search engine focused on ODs and every links posted here are indexed

So it's a curated version of ODCrawler?

https://odcrawler.xyz/ should have these when ODScanner scanned them

And then there's a "fourth" way, which actually isn't for finding ODs, but the files within them (because that's often what you're actually after). It's called ODCrawler and it's a search engine for finding links from those ODs that link to the files. So if you're looking for a specific file where you roughly know the name of it, it's a good idea to try using ODCrawler! (full disclosure, I'm one of the guys working on ODCrawler, so I'm biased ^^)

Shameless plug once again, but you could use https://odcrawler.xyz instead of a direct google search.

The URL is https://odcrawler.xyz

odcrawler which is permanently indexing ODs content.

yeah I tried adding it, but I couldn't find a way to add support for it to open-directory-downloader, especially not while supporting easy updates, so I decided to just let /u/KoalaBear84 handle those :P

I also wrote a NodeJS wrapper for ODD (https://github.com/Chaphasilor/open-directory-downloader) so that I could easily use ODD in my other projects, you might wanna do the same with Python? This way everyone who knows Python could make use of ODDs edge-case handling and stability!
