RuedigerVoigt/exoskeleton
A Python framework to build polite, but tenacious crawlers / scrapers with a MariaDB backend
This tool helps you reliably gather large amounts of information from websites without overwhelming the source servers. It takes a list of web addresses, then systematically downloads files, saves page content, or creates PDF copies, storing everything neatly in a database. Data analysts, researchers, or anyone needing to collect and organize extensive web data over time will find this useful.
Available on PyPI.
Use this if you need to build a persistent, fault-tolerant system for archiving web content or extracting data from many websites over an extended period.
Not ideal if you only need to download a few files quickly or are looking for a simple, one-off web scraping script without database management.
