  • Geziyor

    Geziyor, blazing fast web crawling & scraping framework for Go. Supports JS rendering.

  • Its been 8+ years since i started scraping. I even wrote a popular Go web scraping framework previously: (https://github.com/geziyor/geziyor).

    These days, I'm not even using Go for scraping, as the webpage changes makes me crazy, so I moved to Typescript+Playwright. (Crawlee framework is cool, while not strictly necessary).

    My favorite stack as of 2023: TypeScript+Playwright+Crawlee(Optional)

  • colly

    Elegant Scraper and Crawler Framework for Golang

  • 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?)
