Welcome to the ReuStos repository – your hub for a powerful and flexible toolkit for web scraping! 🕸️
ReuStos (Reusable Tool for Scraping) is a comprehensive collection of reusable components designed to streamline and simplify web scraping tasks. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, ReuStos provides you with the tools you need to efficiently gather data from websites, handle HTML structures, manage idle times, randomize requests, implement disk caching, ensure data cleanliness, and much more.
-
Modular Design: ReuStos is built with modularity in mind. Each scraping component is designed to be independent, making it easy to mix and match according to your needs.
-
HTML Structure Handling: Tired of dealing with complex HTML structures? ReuStos offers solutions to parse and navigate through HTML documents effortlessly.
-
Idle Time Randomizer: Emulate human-like browsing behavior by incorporating random idle times between requests, reducing the risk of getting blocked by websites.
-
Disk Caching: Save bandwidth and time by caching scraped data to disk, ensuring that you don't need to repeatedly fetch the same information.
-
Data Cleanliness Checker: Maintain data integrity by implementing checks to validate and clean scraped data, ensuring accuracy for your downstream processes.
-
GUI: I believe a Gui for configuration better off. Therefore the plan is the using EEL for the GUI.
Here's a glimpse of what's coming up for ReuStos:
-
Version 1.0.0 Release:

- Download HTML first then exract: Why? Because it's faster. No need to wait. Non-decoupled extraction sometimes gives error due to page load or other kind of problem. It makes the process tricky.
