Advanced Webscraping Features in C#

Recurso HttpIdentity

Alguns sistemas de websites exigem que o usuário faça login para visualizar o conteúdo; neste caso, podemos usar um HttpIdentity. Veja como você pode configurar:

// Create a new instance of HttpIdentity
HttpIdentity id = new HttpIdentity();

// Set the network username and password for authentication
id.NetworkUsername = "username";
id.NetworkPassword = "pwd";

// Add the identity to the collection of identities
Identities.Add(id);

// Create a new instance of HttpIdentity
HttpIdentity id = new HttpIdentity();

// Set the network username and password for authentication
id.NetworkUsername = "username";
id.NetworkPassword = "pwd";

// Add the identity to the collection of identities
Identities.Add(id);

Uma das funcionalidades mais impressionantes e poderosas do IronWebScraper é a capacidade de usar milhares de credenciais de usuário exclusivas e/ou mecanismos de navegador para falsificar ou extrair dados de sites usando várias sessões de login.

public override void Init()
{
    // Set the license key for IronWebScraper
    License.LicenseKey = "LicenseKey";

    // Set the logging level to capture all logs
    this.LoggingLevel = WebScraper.LogLevel.All;

    // Assign the working directory for the output files
    this.WorkingDirectory = AppSetting.GetAppRoot() + @"\ShoppingSiteSample\Output\";

    // Define an array of proxies
    var proxies = "IP-Proxy1:8080,IP-Proxy2:8081".Split(',');

    // Iterate over common Chrome desktop user agents
    foreach (var UA in IronWebScraper.CommonUserAgents.ChromeDesktopUserAgents)
    {
        // Iterate over the proxies
        foreach (var proxy in proxies)
        {
            // Add a new HTTP identity with specific user agent and proxy
            Identities.Add(new HttpIdentity()
            {
                UserAgent = UA,
                UseCookies = true,
                Proxy = proxy
            });
        }
    }

    // Make an initial request to the website with a parse method
    this.Request("http://www.Website.com", Parse);
}

public override void Init()
{
    // Set the license key for IronWebScraper
    License.LicenseKey = "LicenseKey";

    // Set the logging level to capture all logs
    this.LoggingLevel = WebScraper.LogLevel.All;

    // Assign the working directory for the output files
    this.WorkingDirectory = AppSetting.GetAppRoot() + @"\ShoppingSiteSample\Output\";

    // Define an array of proxies
    var proxies = "IP-Proxy1:8080,IP-Proxy2:8081".Split(',');

    {
        // Iterate over the proxies
        foreach (var proxy in proxies)
        {
            // Add a new HTTP identity with specific user agent and proxy
            Identities.Add(new HttpIdentity()
            {
                UserAgent = UA,
                UseCookies = true,
                Proxy = proxy
            });
        }
    }

Você possui diversas propriedades que lhe conferem comportamentos diferentes, impedindo assim que sites o bloqueiem.

Algumas dessas propriedades incluem:

• NetworkDomain: O domínio da rede a ser usado para autenticação do usuário. Compatível com redes Windows, NTLM, Kerberos, Linux, BSD e Mac OS X. Deve ser usado com NetworkUsername e NetworkPassword.
• NetworkUsername: O nome de usuário de rede/http a ser usado para autenticação do usuário. Compatível com HTTP, redes Windows, NTLM, Kerberos, redes Linux, redes BSD e Mac OS.
• NetworkPassword: A senha de rede/http a ser usada para autenticação do usuário. Compatível com HTTP, redes Windows, NTLM, Kerberos, redes Linux, redes BSD e Mac OS.
• Proxy: Para definir configurações de proxy.
• UserAgent: Para definir um mecanismo de navegador (por exemplo, Chrome desktop, Chrome mobile, Chrome tablet, IE, e Firefox, etc.).
• HttpRequestHeaders: Para valores de cabeçalho personalizados que serão usados com esta identidade, aceita um objeto de dicionário Dictionary<string, string>.
• UseCookies: Ativar/desativar o uso de cookies.

O IronWebScraper executa o scraper usando identidades aleatórias. Se precisarmos especificar o uso de uma identidade específica para analisar uma página, podemos fazê-lo:

public override void Init()
{
    // Set the license key for IronWebScraper
    License.LicenseKey = "LicenseKey";

    // Set the logging level to capture all logs
    this.LoggingLevel = WebScraper.LogLevel.All;

    // Assign the working directory for the output files
    this.WorkingDirectory = AppSetting.GetAppRoot() + @"\ShoppingSiteSample\Output\";

    // Create a new instance of HttpIdentity
    HttpIdentity identity = new HttpIdentity();

    // Set the network username and password for authentication
    identity.NetworkUsername = "username";
    identity.NetworkPassword = "pwd";

    // Add the identity to the collection of identities
    Identities.Add(identity);

    // Make a request to the website with the specified identity
    this.Request("http://www.Website.com", Parse, identity);
}

public override void Init()
{
    // Set the license key for IronWebScraper
    License.LicenseKey = "LicenseKey";

    // Set the logging level to capture all logs
    this.LoggingLevel = WebScraper.LogLevel.All;

    // Assign the working directory for the output files
    this.WorkingDirectory = AppSetting.GetAppRoot() + @"\ShoppingSiteSample\Output\";

    // Create a new instance of HttpIdentity
    HttpIdentity identity = new HttpIdentity();

    // Set the network username and password for authentication
    identity.NetworkUsername = "username";
    identity.NetworkPassword = "pwd";

    // Add the identity to the collection of identities
    Identities.Add(identity);

    // Make a request to the website with the specified identity
    this.Request("http://www.Website.com", Parse, identity);
}

Ative o recurso de cache da Web

Essa funcionalidade é usada para armazenar em cache as páginas solicitadas. É frequentemente utilizado nas fases de desenvolvimento e teste, permitindo que os desenvolvedores armazenem em cache as páginas necessárias para reutilização após a atualização do código. Isso permite que você execute seu código em páginas em cache após reiniciar seu web scraper, sem precisar se conectar ao site ativo todas as vezes (ação-replay).

Você pode usá-lo no método Init():

// Enable web cache without an expiration time
EnableWebCache();

// OR enable web cache with a specified expiration time
EnableWebCache(new TimeSpan(1, 30, 30));

// Enable web cache without an expiration time
EnableWebCache();

// OR enable web cache with a specified expiration time
EnableWebCache(new TimeSpan(1, 30, 30));

Ele salvará seus dados em cache na pasta WebCache sob a pasta do diretório de trabalho.

public override void Init()
{
    // Set the license key for IronWebScraper
    License.LicenseKey = "LicenseKey";

    // Set the logging level to capture all logs
    this.LoggingLevel = WebScraper.LogLevel.All;

    // Assign the working directory for the output files
    this.WorkingDirectory = AppSetting.GetAppRoot() + @"\ShoppingSiteSample\Output\";

    // Enable web cache with a specific expiration time of 1 hour, 30 minutes, and 30 seconds
    EnableWebCache(new TimeSpan(1, 30, 30));

    // Make an initial request to the website with a parse method
    this.Request("http://www.Website.com", Parse);
}

public override void Init()
{
    // Set the license key for IronWebScraper
    License.LicenseKey = "LicenseKey";

    // Set the logging level to capture all logs
    this.LoggingLevel = WebScraper.LogLevel.All;

    // Assign the working directory for the output files
    this.WorkingDirectory = AppSetting.GetAppRoot() + @"\ShoppingSiteSample\Output\";

    // Enable web cache with a specific expiration time of 1 hour, 30 minutes, and 30 seconds
    EnableWebCache(new TimeSpan(1, 30, 30));

    // Make an initial request to the website with a parse method
    this.Request("http://www.Website.com", Parse);
}

O IronWebScraper também possui recursos para habilitar seu mecanismo a continuar a raspagem após reiniciar o código configurando o nome do processo de inicialização do mecanismo usando Start(CrawlID).

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    // Create an object from the Scraper class
    EngineScraper scrape = new EngineScraper();

    // Start the scraping process with the specified crawl ID
    scrape.Start("enginestate");
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    // Create an object from the Scraper class
    EngineScraper scrape = new EngineScraper();

    // Start the scraping process with the specified crawl ID
    scrape.Start("enginestate");
}

A solicitação de execução e a resposta serão salvas na pasta SavedState dentro do diretório de trabalho.

Limitação de velocidade

Podemos controlar o número mínimo e máximo de conexões e a velocidade de conexão por domínio.

public override void Init()
{
    // Set the license key for IronWebScraper
    License.LicenseKey = "LicenseKey";

    // Set the logging level to capture all logs
    this.LoggingLevel = WebScraper.LogLevel.All;

    // Assign the working directory for the output files
    this.WorkingDirectory = AppSetting.GetAppRoot() + @"\ShoppingSiteSample\Output\";

    // Set the total number of allowed open HTTP requests (threads)
    this.MaxHttpConnectionLimit = 80;

    // Set minimum polite delay (pause) between requests to a given domain or IP address
    this.RateLimitPerHost = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(50);

    // Set the allowed number of concurrent HTTP requests (threads) per hostname or IP address
    this.OpenConnectionLimitPerHost = 25;

    // Do not obey the robots.txt files
    this.ObeyRobotsDotTxt = false;

    // Makes the WebScraper intelligently throttle requests not only by hostname, but also by host servers' IP addresses
    this.ThrottleMode = Throttle.ByDomainHostName;

    // Make an initial request to the website with a parse method
    this.Request("https://www.Website.com", Parse);
}

public override void Init()
{
    // Set the license key for IronWebScraper
    License.LicenseKey = "LicenseKey";

    // Set the logging level to capture all logs
    this.LoggingLevel = WebScraper.LogLevel.All;

    // Assign the working directory for the output files
    this.WorkingDirectory = AppSetting.GetAppRoot() + @"\ShoppingSiteSample\Output\";

    // Set the total number of allowed open HTTP requests (threads)
    this.MaxHttpConnectionLimit = 80;

    // Set minimum polite delay (pause) between requests to a given domain or IP address
    this.RateLimitPerHost = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(50);

    // Set the allowed number of concurrent HTTP requests (threads) per hostname or IP address
    this.OpenConnectionLimitPerHost = 25;

    // Do not obey the robots.txt files
    this.ObeyRobotsDotTxt = false;

    // Makes the WebScraper intelligently throttle requests not only by hostname, but also by host servers' IP addresses
    this.ThrottleMode = Throttle.ByDomainHostName;

    // Make an initial request to the website with a parse method
    this.Request("https://www.Website.com", Parse);
