A human spider framework base on django

Project description

Ants
===

![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/mymusise/Ants.svg?branch=master)

Ants is a clawer framework for perfectionism base on Django, which help people build a clawer faster and easier to make manage.

Requirements
===

- Python 2.7 +
- Django 1.8 +
- Gevent 1.1.1 +


Install
===

pip install ants

To get the lastest, download this fucking source code and build

git clone git@github.com:mymusise/Ants.git
cd Ants
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install


Getting started
====

## 1. Initialize project

Ok, I suggest you work on a virtualenv

virtualenv my_env
source my_env/bin/activate

Then we install the Requirements and start a django project

pip install django gevent ants
ants-tools startproject my_ants
cd my_ants

now you can use ``tree`` command to get the file-tree of your project

### 2. Write your first spider ant!

Ants will run ants belong to clawers by run command `python manage.py runclawer [spider_name]`

Let's add a ant.``spider/ants/first_blood.py``

import requests


class FirstBloodClawerWhatNameYouWant(object):
NAME = 'first_blood' # must be unique
url_head = """https://movie.douban.com/j/search_subjects?type=movie&tag=%E7%83%AD%E9%97%A8&sort=recommend&page_limit=10&page_start={}"""
max_page = 4

def get_url(self, url):
res = requests.get(url)
print(res.text)

def start(self):
need_urls = [self.url_head.format(i) for i in range(self.max_page)]
list(map(self.get_url, need_urls))


This is a simple spider that can get hot movie from `Douban`.
Be attention, the `NAME` property is required, which is the unique identification
for different clawers.

Now we can run our first blood to get hot movie!

python manage.py runclawer first_blood


# About repeating URL

Ants provide a way to avoid running a same url again if Ants it crash last time. You just need define two model, source and aim. For example:

In file clawers/models.py

class BaseTask(models.Model):
source_url = models.CharField(max_length=255)


class MovieHtml(models.Model):
task_id = models.IntegerField()
html = models.TextField()

We define `BaseTask` to save the base task url we need request, and save the html source in `MovieHtml`. If we get a page by requesting a url from BaseTask, we will save this `BaseTask().id` to `MovieHtml().task_id`. We can redefine the our 'first_blood' ant like this:

from ants.clawer import Clawer
import requests

class FirstBloodClawerWhatNameYouWant(Clawer):
NAME = 'first_blood' # must be unique
thread = 2 # the number of coroutine, default 1
task_model = BaseTask
goal_model = MovieHtml

def run(self, task):
res = requests.get(task.source_url)
MovieHtml.objects.create(task_id=task.id, html=res.text)

Before 'first_blood'.run(), it will get all BaseTask objects and give each of then to run() function. But if one of BaseTask object.ID has in MovieHtml.task_id, this BaseTask object would be given to run function.

# About async

Ants use `gevent` as event pool to make each ant run with async, and you can use `thread` property to decide how many coroutine you want. More infomation from [the fucking source code](https://github.com/mymusise/Ants/blob/master/ants/utils.py#L74)

# Enjoy!
