Extract embedded metadata from HTML markup

Project description

https://img.shields.io/travis/scrapinghub/extruct/master.svg https://img.shields.io/codecov/c/github/scrapinghub/extruct/master.svg?maxAge=2592000

extruct is a library for extracting embedded metadata from HTML markup.

It also has a built-in HTTP server to test its output as JSON.

Currently, extruct only supports W3C’s HTML Microdata and embedded JSON-LD.

The microdata algorithm is a revisit of this Scrapinghub blog post showing how to use EXSLT extensions.

Roadmap

Installation

pip install extruct

Usage

Microdata extraction

>>> from pprint import pprint
>>>
>>> from extruct.w3cmicrodata import MicrodataExtractor
>>>
>>> # example from http://www.w3.org/TR/microdata/#associating-names-with-items
>>> html = """<!DOCTYPE HTML>
... <html>
...  <head>
...   <title>Photo gallery</title>
...  </head>
...  <body>
...   <h1>My photos</h1>
...   <figure itemscope itemtype="http://n.whatwg.org/work" itemref="licenses">
...    <img itemprop="work" src="images/house.jpeg" alt="A white house, boarded up, sits in a forest.">
...    <figcaption itemprop="title">The house I found.</figcaption>

>>>
>>> mde = MicrodataExtractor()
>>> data = mde.extract(html)
>>> pprint(data)
{'items': [{'properties': {'license': 'http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php',
                           'title': u'The house I found.',
                           'work': 'http://www.example.com/images/house.jpeg'},

            'type': 'http://n.whatwg.org/work'}]}

JSON-LD extraction

>>> from pprint import pprint
>>>
>>> from extruct.jsonld import JsonLdExtractor
>>>
>>> html = """<!DOCTYPE HTML>

...   <title>Some Person Page</title>
...  </head>
...  <body>
...   <h1>This guys</h1>
...     <script type="application/ld+json">

...         "addressRegion": "Georgia"
...       }
...     }
...     </script>
...  </body>
... </html>"""
>>>
>>> jslde = JsonLdExtractor()
>>>
>>> data = jslde.extract(html)
>>> pprint(data)
{'items': [{u'@context': u'http://schema.org',
            u'@type': u'Person',
            u'additionalName': u'Johnny',

            u'url': u'http://www.example.com'}]}

REST API service

extruct also ships with a REST API service to test its output from URLs.

Dependencies

Usage

python -m extruct.service

launches an HTTP server listening on port 10005.

Methods supported

/extruct/<URL>
method = GET


/extruct/batch
method = POST
params:
    urls - a list of URLs separted by newlines
    urlsfile - a file with one URL per line

E.g. http://localhost:10005/extruct/http://www.sarenza.com/i-love-shoes-susket-s767163-p0000119412

will output something like this:

   "status":"ok",
