  • Web Scraping in Python – The Complete Guide

    Yes!

    My Clojure scraping framework [0] facilitates that kind of workflow, and I’ve been using it to scrape/restructure massive sites (millions of pages). I guess I’m going to write a blog post about scraping with it at scale. Although it doesn’t really scale much above that – it’s meant for single-machine loads at the moment – it could be enhanced to support that kind of workflow rather easily.

  • Babashka: GraalVM Helped Create a Scripting Environment for Clojure

    I plan to port my scraping framework (Skyscraper, https://github.com/nathell/skyscraper) to babashka one day. I’m not sure how easy it will be, though, since it uses core.async (which I believe bb has limited support for) and SQLite via clojure.java.jdbc.
  • Mastering Web Scraping in Python: Crawling from Scratch
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Aug 2021
    I’ve done a fair share of scraping, and I learned that on a large scale, there are a lot of cross-cutting repetitive concerns. Things like caching, fetching HTML (preferably in parallel), throttling, retries, navigation, emitting the output as a dataset…

    My library, Skyscraper [0], attempts to help with these. It’s written in Clojure (based on Enlive or Reaver, both counterparts to Beautiful Soup), but the principles should be readily transferable everywhere.
