XSCRAPERS

The XSCRAPERS package provides an OOP interface to some simple webscraping techniques.

A base use case can be to load some pages to Beautifulsoup Elements. This package allows to load the URLs concurrently using multiple threads, which allows to safe an enormous amount of time.

import scraper.webscraper as ws

URLS = [
    "https://www.google.com/",
    "https://www.amazon.com/",
    "https://www.youtube.com/",
]
PARSER = "html.parser"
web_scraper = ws.Webscraper(PARSER, verbose=True)
web_scraper.load(URLS)
web_scraper.parse()

Note that herein, the data scraped is stored in the data attribute of the webscraper. The URLs parsed are stored in the url attribute.
