6. Webscraping
7. Python tools ➢ Requests ➢ Beautiful Soup 4 ➢ Pyquery ➢ Webscraping ➢ Scrapy
8. Python tools ➢ Mechanize ➢ Robobrowser ➢ Selenium
9. Requests http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest
10. Web scraping with Python 1. Download webpage with HTTP module(requests,urllib,aiohttp) 2. Parse the page with BeautifulSoup/lxml 3. Select elements with Regular expressions,XPath or css selectors 4. Store results in a database,csv,json
11. BeautifulSoup
12. BeautifulSoup ▶ soup = BeautifulSoup(html_doc,’html.parser’) ▶ Print all: print(soup.prettify()) ▶ Print text: print(soup.get_text()) from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
13. BeautifulSoup functions ▪ find_all(‘a’)→Returns all links ▪ find(‘title’)→Returns the first element <title> ▪ get(‘href’)→Returns the attribute href value ▪ (element).text → Returns the text inside an element for link in soup.find_all('a'): print(link.get('href'))

22. Spiders /crawlers ▶ A Web crawler is an Internet bot that systematically browses the World Wide Web, typically for the purpose of Web indexing. A Web crawler may also be called a Web spider. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_crawler
23. Spiders /crawlers scrapinghub.com
24. Scrapy https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Scrapy/1.1.2
25. Scrapy ▶ Uses a mechanism based on XPath expressions called Xpath Selectors. ▶ Uses Parser LXML to find elements ▶ Twisted for asynchronous operations
26. Scrapy advantages ▶ Faster than mechanize because it uses twisted for asynchronous operations. ▶ Scrapy has better support for html parsing. ▶ Scrapy has better support for unicode characters, redirections, gzipped responses, encodings. ▶ You can export the extracted data directly to JSON,XML and CSV.
27. Export data ▶ scrapy crawl <spider_name> ▶ $ scrapy crawl <spider_name> -o items.json -t json ▶ $ scrapy crawl <spider_name> -o items.csv -t csv ▶ $ scrapy crawl <spider_name> -o items.xml -t xml ▶
28. Scrapy concurrency
29. The concurrency problem ▶ Different approaches: ▶ Multiple processes ▶ Threads ▶ Separate distributed machines ▶ Asynchronous programming(event loop)
30. Requests problems ▶ Requests operations are blocking the main thread ▶ It pauses until operation completed ▶ We need one thread for each request if we want non-blocking operations
31. Threads problems ▶ Get Overhead ▶ Stack size ▶ Context changes ▶ Synchronization
32. Solution ▶NOT USE THREADS ▶USE ONE THREAD ▶+ EVENT LOOP
33. New concepts ▶ Event loop ▶ Async ▶ Await ▶ Futures ▶ Coroutines ▶ Tasks ▶ Executors
34. Event loop implementations ▶ Asyncio ▶ https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/asyncio.html ▶ Tornado web server ▶ http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable ▶ Twisted ▶ https://twistedmatrix.com ▶ Gevent ▶ http://www.gevent.org
35. Asyncio def.
36. Asyncio ▶ Python >=3.3 ▶ Event-loop framework ▶ I/O Asynchronous ▶ Non-blocking approach with sockets ▶ All requests in one thread ▶ Event-driven switching ▶ aio-http module for make requests asynchronously
37. Asyncio ▶ Interoperatibility with other frameworks
38. Requests vs aiohttp #!/usr/local/bin/python3.5 import asyncio from aiohttp import ClientSession async def hello(): async with ClientSession() as session: async with session.get("http://httpbin.org/headers") as response: response = await response.read() print(response) loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() loop.run_until_complete(hello()) import requests def hello() return requests.get("http://httpbin.org/get") print(hello())
39. Event Loop ▶ An event loop allow us to write asynchronous code using callbacks or coroutines. ▶ Event loop function like task switcher,just the way operating systems switch between active tasks on the CPU. ▶ The idea is that we have an event loop running until all tasks scheduled are completed. ▶ Features and tasks are created through the event loop.
40. Event Loop ▶ An event loop is used to orchestrate the execution of the coroutines. ▶ asyncio.get_event_loop() ▶ asyncio.run_until_complete(coroutines,futures) ▶ asyncio.run_forever() ▶ asyncio.stop()
41. Starting Event Loop
42. Coroutines ▶ Coroutines are functions that allow for multitasking without requiring multiple threads or processes. ▶ Coroutines are like functions, but they can be suspended or resumed at certain points in the code. ▶ Coroutines allow write asynchronous code that combines the efficiency of callbacks with the classic good looks of multithreaded.
43. Coroutines 3.4 vs 3.5 import asyncio @asyncio.coroutine def fetch(self, url): response = yield from self.session.get(url) body = yield from response.read() import asyncio async def fetch(self, url): response = await self.session.get(url) body = await response.read()
44. Coroutines in event loop #!/usr/local/bin/python3.5 import asyncio import aiohttp async def get_page(url): response = await aiohttp.request('GET', url) body = await response.read() print(body) loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.wait([get_page('http://python.org'), get_page('http://pycon.org')]))
45. Requests in event loop async def getpage_with_requests(url): return await loop.run_in_executor(None,requests.get,url) #methods equivalents async def getpage_with_aiohttp(url): with aitohttp.ClientSession() as session: async with session.get(url) as response: return await response.read()
46. Tasks ▶ The asyncio.Task class is a subclass of asyncio.Future to encapsulate and manage coroutines. ▶ Allow independently running tasks to run concurrently with other tasks on the same event loop. ▶ When a coroutine is wrapped in a task, it connects the task to the event loop.

51. Futures ▶ To manage an object Future in Asyncio, we must declare the following: ▶ import asyncio ▶ future = asyncio.Future() ▶ https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio -task.html#future ▶ https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurr ent.futures.html
52. Futures ▶ The asyncio.Future class is essentially a promise of a result. ▶ A Future will returns the results when they are available, and once it receives results, it will pass them along to all the registered callbacks. ▶ Each future is a task to be executed in the event loop
53. Futures
54. Semaphores ▶ Adding synchronization ▶ Limiting number of concurrent requests. ▶ The argument indicates the number of simultaneous requests we want to allow. ▶ sem = asyncio.Semaphore(5) with (await sem): page = await get(url, compress=True)
55. Async Client /server ▶ asyncio.start_server ▶ server = asyncio.start_server(handle_connection,host=HOST,port=PORT)
56. Async Client /server ▶ asyncio.open_connection

58. Async Web crawler
59. Async Web crawler ▶ Send asynchronous requests to all the links on a web page and add the responses to a queue to be processed as we go. ▶ Coroutines allow running independent tasks and processing their results in 3 ways: ▶ Using asyncio.as_completed →by processing the results as they come. ▶ Using asyncio.gather→ only once they have all finished loading. ▶ Using asyncio.ensure_future
60. Async Web crawler import asyncio import random @asyncio.coroutine def get_url(url): wait_time = random.randint(1, 4) yield from asyncio.sleep(wait_time) print('Done: URL {} took {}s to get!'.format(url, wait_time)) return url, wait_time @asyncio.coroutine def process_results_as_come_in(): coroutines = [get_url(url) for url in ['URL1', 'URL2', 'URL3']] for coroutine in asyncio.as_completed(coroutines): url, wait_time = yield from coroutine print('Coroutine for {} is done'.format(url)) def main(): loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() print(“Process results as they come in:") loop.run_until_complete(process_results_as_come_in()) if __name__ == '__main__': main() asyncio.as_completed

Async Web crawler import asyncio import random @asyncio.coroutine def get_url(url): wait_time = random.randint(1, 4) yield from asyncio.sleep(wait_time) print('Done: URL {} took {}s to get!'.format(url, wait_time)) return url, wait_time @asyncio.coroutine def process_once_everything_ready(): coroutines = [get_url(url) for url in ['URL1', 'URL2', 'URL3']] results = yield from asyncio.gather(*coroutines) print(results) def main(): loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() print(“Process results once they are all ready:") loop.run_until_complete(process_once_everything_ready()) if __name__ == '__main__': main() asyncio.gather
63. asyncio.gather From Python documentation, this is what asyncio.gather does: asyncio.gather(*coros_or_futures, loop=None, return_exceptions=False) Return a future aggregating results from the given coroutine objects or futures. All futures must share the same event loop. If all the tasks are done successfully, the returned future’s result is the list of results (in the order of the original sequence, not necessarily the order of results arrival). If return_exceptions is True, exceptions in the tasks are treated the same as successful results, and gathered in the result list; otherwise, the first raised exception will be immediately propagated to the returned future.

Async Web crawler import asyncio import random @asyncio.coroutine def get_url(url): wait_time = random.randint(1, 4) yield from asyncio.sleep(wait_time) print('Done: URL {} took {}s to get!'.format(url, wait_time)) return url, wait_time @asyncio.coroutine def process_ensure_future(): tasks= [asyncio.ensure_future(get_url(url) )for url in ['URL1', 'URL2', 'URL3']] results = yield from asyncio.wait(tasks) print(results) def main(): loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() print(“Process ensure future:") loop.run_until_complete(process_ensure_future()) if __name__ == '__main__': main() asyncio.ensure_future
