Usage

This example extracts all quotes from quotes.toscrape.com and exports to JSON file.

func main() {
    geziyor.NewGeziyor(&geziyor.Options{
        StartURLs: []string{"http://quotes.toscrape.com/"},
        ParseFunc: quotesParse,
        Exporters: []export.Exporter{&export.JSON{}},
    }).Start()
}

func quotesParse(g *geziyor.Geziyor, r *client.Response) {
    r.HTMLDoc.Find("div.quote").Each(func(i int, s *goquery.Selection) {
        g.Exports <- map[string]interface{}{
            "text":   s.Find("span.text").Text(),
            "author": s.Find("small.author").Text(),
        }
    })
    if href, ok := r.HTMLDoc.Find("li.next > a").Attr("href"); ok {
        g.Get(r.JoinURL(href), quotesParse)
    }
}

See tests for more usage examples.

Documentation

Installation

go get -u github.com/geziyor/geziyor

If you want to make JS rendered requests, make sure you have Chrome installed.

NOTE: macOS limits the maximum number of open file descriptors. If you want to make concurrent requests over 256, you need to increase limits. Read this for more.

Making Normal Requests

Initial requests start with StartURLs []string field in Options. Geziyor makes concurrent requests to those URLs. After reading response, ParseFunc func(g *Geziyor, r *Response) called.

geziyor.NewGeziyor(&geziyor.Options{
    StartURLs: []string{"http://api.ipify.org"},
    ParseFunc: func(g *geziyor.Geziyor, r *client.Response) {
        fmt.Println(string(r.Body))
    },
}).Start()

If you want to manually create first requests, set StartRequestsFunc. StartURLs won't be used if you create requests manually.
You can make requests using Geziyor methods:

geziyor.NewGeziyor(&geziyor.Options{
    StartRequestsFunc: func(g *geziyor.Geziyor) {
    	g.Get("https://httpbin.org/anything", g.Opt.ParseFunc)
        g.Head("https://httpbin.org/anything", g.Opt.ParseFunc)
    },
    ParseFunc: func(g *geziyor.Geziyor, r *client.Response) {
        fmt.Println(string(r.Body))
    },
}).Start()

Making JS Rendered Requests

JS Rendered requests can be made using GetRendered method. By default, geziyor uses local Chrome application CLI to start Chrome browser. Set BrowserEndpoint option to use different chrome instance. Such as, "ws://localhost:3000"

geziyor.NewGeziyor(&geziyor.Options{
    StartRequestsFunc: func(g *geziyor.Geziyor) {
        g.GetRendered("https://httpbin.org/anything", g.Opt.ParseFunc)
    },
    ParseFunc: func(g *geziyor.Geziyor, r *client.Response) {
        fmt.Println(string(r.Body))
    },
    //BrowserEndpoint: "ws://localhost:3000",
}).Start()

Extracting Data

We can extract HTML elements using response.HTMLDoc. HTMLDoc is Goquery's Document.

HTMLDoc can be accessible on Response if response is HTML and can be parsed using Go's built-in HTML parser If response isn't HTML, response.HTMLDoc would be nil.

geziyor.NewGeziyor(&geziyor.Options{
    StartURLs: []string{"http://quotes.toscrape.com/"},
    ParseFunc: func(g *geziyor.Geziyor, r *client.Response) {
        r.HTMLDoc.Find("div.quote").Each(func(_ int, s *goquery.Selection) {
            log.Println(s.Find("span.text").Text(), s.Find("small.author").Text())
        })
    },
}).Start()

Exporting Data

You can export data automatically using exporters. Just send data to Geziyor.Exports chan. Available exporters

geziyor.NewGeziyor(&geziyor.Options{
    StartURLs: []string{"http://quotes.toscrape.com/"},
    ParseFunc: func(g *geziyor.Geziyor, r *client.Response) {
        r.HTMLDoc.Find("div.quote").Each(func(_ int, s *goquery.Selection) {
            g.Exports <- map[string]interface{}{
                "text":   s.Find("span.text").Text(),
                "author": s.Find("small.author").Text(),
            }
        })
    },
    Exporters: []export.Exporter{&export.JSON{}},
}).Start()

Custom Requests - Passing Metadata To Callbacks

You can create custom requests with client.NewRequest

Use that request on geziyor.Do(request, callback)

geziyor.NewGeziyor(&geziyor.Options{
    StartRequestsFunc: func(g *geziyor.Geziyor) {
        req, _ := client.NewRequest("GET", "https://httpbin.org/anything", nil)
        req.Meta["key"] = "value"
        g.Do(req, g.Opt.ParseFunc)
    },
    ParseFunc: func(g *geziyor.Geziyor, r *client.Response) {
        fmt.Println("This is our data from request: ", r.Request.Meta["key"])
    },
}).Start()

Proxy - Use proxy per request

If you want to use proxy for your requests, and you have 1 proxy, you can just set these env values: HTTP_PROXY HTTPS_PROXY And geziyor will use those proxies.

Also, you can use in-order proxy per request by setting ProxyFunc option to client.RoundRobinProxy Or any custom proxy selection function that you want. See client/proxy.go on how to implement that kind of custom proxy selection function.

Proxies can be HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5.

Note: If you use http scheme for proxy, It'll be used for http requests and not for https requests.

geziyor.NewGeziyor(&geziyor.Options{
    StartURLs:         []string{"http://httpbin.org/anything"},
    ParseFunc:         parseFunc,
    ProxyFunc:         client.RoundRobinProxy("http://some-http-proxy.com", "https://some-https-proxy.com", "socks5://some-socks5-proxy.com"),
}).Start()
