A scalable crawler framework. It covers the whole lifecycle of crawler: downloading, url management, content extraction and persistent. It can simplify the development of a specific crawler.
- Simple core with high flexibility.
- Simple API for html extracting.
- Annotation with POJO to customize a crawler, no configuration.
- Multi-thread and Distribution support.
- Easy to be integrated.

</dependency>WebMagic use slf4j with slf4j-log4j12 implementation. If you customized your slf4j implementation, please exclude slf4j-log4j12.

</exclusions>Write a class implements PageProcessor. For example, I wrote a crawler of github repository information.
public class GithubRepoPageProcessor implements PageProcessor {
private Site site = Site.me().setRetryTimes(3).setSleepTime(1000);
@Override
public void process(Page page) {
page.addTargetRequests(page.getHtml().links().regex("(https://github\\.com/\\w+/\\w+)").all());
page.putField("author", page.getUrl().regex("https://github\\.com/(\\w+)/.*").toString());
page.putField("name", page.getHtml().xpath("//h1[@class='public']/strong/a/text()").toString());
if (page.getResultItems().get("name")==null){
//skip this page
page.setSkip(true);
}
page.putField("readme", page.getHtml().xpath("//div[@id='readme']/tidyText()"));
}
@Override
public Site getSite() {
return site;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Spider.create(new GithubRepoPageProcessor()).addUrl("https://github.com/code4craft").thread(5).run();
}
}-
page.addTargetRequests(links)Add urls for crawling.
You can also use annotation way:
@TargetUrl("https://github.com/\\w+/\\w+")
@HelpUrl("https://github.com/\\w+")
public class GithubRepo {
@ExtractBy(value = "//h1[@class='public']/strong/a/text()", notNull = true)
private String name;
@ExtractByUrl("https://github\\.com/(\\w+)/.*")
private String author;
@ExtractBy("//div[@id='readme']/tidyText()")
private String readme;
public static void main(String[] args) {
OOSpider.create(Site.me().setSleepTime(1000)
, new ConsolePageModelPipeline(), GithubRepo.class)
.addUrl("https://github.com/code4craft").thread(5).run();
}
