Introduction
A crawler is a program that automatically crawls Internet information. The value of it is that the internet data is all mine. You can use the crawled data to do many things, such as: you can perform data statistics and comparisons; you can use the crawled data to make an app in a certain aspect; you can also use the crawled data to make a news reader, etc.
Crawler architecture
1) URL manager
2) Web page downloader
3) Web page analyzer
4) Crawler caller
5) Value data usage
Crawler implementation
1) Scheduler implementation
# coding:utf-8 import url_manager import html_downloader import html_parser import html_outputer import url_manager class SpiderMain(object): def __init__(self): self.urls = url_manager.UrlManager() self.downloader = html_downloader.HtmlDownloader() self.parser = html_parser.HtmlParser() self.outputer = html_outputer.HtmlOutputer() def craw(self, root_url): count = 1 self.urls.add_new_url(root_url) while self.urls.has_new_url(): try: new_url = self.urls.get_new_url() print "craw %d : %s" % (count, new_url) html_cont = self.downloader.download(new_url) new_urls, new_data = self.parser.parse(new_url, html_cont) self.urls.add_new_urls(new_urls) self.outputer.collect_data(new_data) if count == 1000: break count = count + 1 except: print "craw failed" self.outputer.output_html() if __name__ == "__main__": root_url = "http://baike.baidu.com/view/21087.htm" obj_spider = SpiderMain() obj_spider.craw(root_url)
2) URL manager implementation
class UrlManager(object): def __init__(self): self.new_urls = set() self.old_urls = set() def add_new_url(self, url): if url is None: return if url not in self.new_urls and url not in self.old_urls: self.new_urls.add(url) def add_new_urls(self, urls): if urls is None or len(urls) == 0: return for url in urls: self.add_new_url(url) def has_new_url(self): return len(self.new_urls) != 0 def get_new_url(self): new_url = self.new_urls.pop() self.old_urls.add(new_url) return new_url
3) URL downloader implementation
import urllib2 class HtmlDownloader(object): def download(self, url): if url is None: return None response = urllib2.urlopen(url) if response.getcode() != 200: return None return response.read()
4) URL parser implementation
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import re import urlparse class HtmlParser(object): def _get_new_urls(self, page_url, soup): new_urls = set() links = soup.find_all('a', href=re.compile(r"/view/\d+\.htm")) for link in links: new_url = link['href'] new_full_url = urlparse.urljoin(page_url, new_url) new_urls.add(new_full_url) return new_urls def _get_new_data(self, page_url, soup): res_data = {} res_data['url'] = page_url title_node = soup.find('dd', class_="lemmaWgt-lemmaTitle-title").find("h1") res_data['title'] = title_node.get_text() summary_node = soup.find('div', class_="lemma-summary") res_data['summary'] = summary_node.get_text() return res_data def parse(self, page_url, html_cont): if page_url is None or html_cont is None: return soup = BeautifulSoup(html_cont, 'html.parser', from_encoding='utf-8') new_urls = self._get_new_urls(page_url, soup) new_data = self._get_new_data(page_url, soup) return new_urls, new_data
5) Value data output display
# coding:utf-8 class HtmlOutputer(object): def __init__(self): self.datas = [] def collect_data(self, data): if data is None: return self.datas.append(data) def output_html(self): fout = open('output.html', 'w') fout.write("<html>") fout.write("<meta charset=\"UTF-8\">") fout.write("<body>") fout.write("<table>") for data in self.datas: fout.write("<tr>") fout.write("<td>%s</td>" % data['url']) fout.write("<td>%s</td>" % data['title'].encode('utf-8')) fout.write("<td>%s</td>" % data['summary'].encode('utf-8')) fout.write("</tr>") fout.write("</table>") fout.write("</body>") fout.write("</html>") fout.close()
Execution
This crawler crawls Baidu Encyclopedia and Python For 1,000 static web pages related to keywords, we mainly extract keywords and summary information from the data in the web pages, and store the crawled information in the form of HTML files, which can then be accessed by opening them with a browser.
