## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Exceptions
|

||||
CrawlerError, # Base exception
|
||||
TimeoutError, # Request timeout
|
||||
CloudflareProtected, # Cloudflare protection detected
|
||||

|
||||
RateLimitError, # Rate limit exceeded
|
||||
ContentExtractionError # Content extraction failed
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
try:
|
||||
content = await get("https://protected-site.com")
|
||||
except CloudflareProtected:
|
||||
# Try with stealth mode

|
||||
except TimeoutError:
|
||||
# Increase timeout
|
||||
content = await get("https://slow-site.com", timeout=60)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## JavaScript Execution
|
||||
|
||||
### Script Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
#### Simple Execution
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Extract single value
|
||||
content = await get(url, script="document.title")
|
||||
print(content.script_result) # Page title
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Complex Operations
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Multi-step JavaScript
|
||||
complex_script = """
|
||||
// Scroll to load content
|
||||
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
|
||||
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));
|
||||
|
||||
// Extract data
|
||||
const items = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.item')).map(item => ({
|
||||
title: item.querySelector('.title')?.textContent,
|
||||
price: item.querySelector('.price')?.textContent
|
||||
}));
|
||||
|
||||
return items;
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
content = await get(url, script=complex_script)
|
||||
items = content.script_result # List of extracted items
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Before/After Pattern
|
||||
```python
|
||||
content = await get(
|
||||
url,
|
||||
script_before="document.querySelector('.load-more')?.click()",
|
||||
script_after="document.querySelectorAll('.item').length"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
if isinstance(content.script_result, dict):
|
||||
print(f"Action result: {content.script_result['script_before']}")
|
||||
print(f"Items count: {content.script_result['script_after']}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Error Handling
|
||||
```python
|
||||
content = await get(url, script="document.querySelector('.missing').click()")
|
||||
|
||||
if content.has_script_error:
|
||||
print(f"JavaScript error: {content.script_error}")
|
||||
# Use fallback content
|
||||
print(f"Fallback: {content.text[:100]}")
|
||||
else:
|
||||
print(f"Result: {content.script_result}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Framework Detection
|
||||
|
||||
#### React Applications
|
||||
```python
|
||||
react_script = """
|
||||
if (window.React) {
|
||||
return {
|
||||
framework: 'React',
|
||||
version: React.version,
|
||||
hasRouter: !!window.ReactRouter,
|
||||
componentCount: document.querySelectorAll('[data-reactroot] *').length
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
return null;
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
content = await get("https://react-app.com", script=react_script)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Vue Applications
|
||||
```python
|
||||
vue_script = """
|
||||
if (window.Vue) {
|
||||
return {
|
||||
framework: 'Vue',
|
||||
version: Vue.version,
|
||||
hasRouter: !!window.VueRouter,
|
||||
hasVuex: !!window.Vuex
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
return null;
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
content = await get("https://vue-app.com", script=vue_script)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
### Batch Processing
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Process large URL lists efficiently
|
||||
urls = [f"https://site.com/page/{i}" for i in range(100)]
|
||||
|
||||
# Process in batches
|
||||
batch_size = 10
|
||||
all_results = []
|
||||
|
||||
for i in range(0, len(urls), batch_size):
|
||||
batch = urls[i:i+batch_size]
|
||||
results = await get_many(batch, max_concurrent=5)
|
||||
all_results.extend(results)
|
||||
|
||||
# Rate limiting
|
||||
await asyncio.sleep(1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Memory Management
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# For long-running processes
|
||||
import gc
|
||||
|
||||
for batch in url_batches:
|
||||
results = await get_many(batch)
|
||||
process_results(results)
|
||||
|
||||
# Clear references and force garbage collection
|
||||
del results
|
||||
gc.collect()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Timeout Configuration
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Adjust timeouts based on site characteristics
|
||||
fast_sites = await get_many(urls, timeout=10)
|
||||
slow_sites = await get_many(urls, timeout=60)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## MCP Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### Server Setup
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crawailer.mcp import create_mcp_server
|
||||
|
||||
# Create MCP server with default tools
|
||||
server = create_mcp_server()
|
||||
|
||||
# Custom MCP tool
|
||||
@server.tool("extract_product_data")
|
||||
async def extract_product_data(url: str) -> dict:
|
||||
content = await get(
|
||||
url,
|
||||
script="""
|
||||
({
|
||||
name: document.querySelector('.product-name')?.textContent,
|
||||
price: document.querySelector('.price')?.textContent,
|
||||
rating: document.querySelector('.rating')?.textContent
|
||||
})
|
||||
"""
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
'title': content.title,
|
||||
'product_data': content.script_result,
|
||||
'metadata': {
|
||||
'word_count': content.word_count,
|
||||
'quality_score': content.quality_score
|
||||

The most significant finding was Katana's JavaScript mode timeout:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Command that timed out
|
||||
katana -list urls.txt -hl -jc -d 1 -c 3
|
||||
|
||||
# Result: Process terminated after 45 seconds without completion
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Analysis**: Katana's headless JavaScript mode appears to have reliability issues with certain types of content or network conditions, making it unsuitable for JavaScript-dependent workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Crawailer JavaScript Excellence
|
||||
Crawailer demonstrated robust JavaScript execution:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Complex JavaScript operations that work reliably
|
||||
complex_script = """
|
||||
// Scroll to trigger lazy loading
|
||||
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
|
||||
|
||||
// Wait for dynamic content
|
||||
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));
|
||||
|
||||
// Extract structured data
|
||||
return Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.item')).map(item => ({
|
||||
title: item.querySelector('.title')?.textContent,
|
||||
price: item.querySelector('.price')?.textContent
|
||||
}));
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
content = await get(url, script=complex_script)
|
||||
# Reliable execution with rich result data
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

max_concurrent=5, # Limit concurrency for stability
|
||||
clean=True,
|
||||
extract_metadata=False # Skip if not needed
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# For content quality
|
||||
content = await get(
|
||||
url,
|
||||
script="document.querySelector('.main-content').textContent",
|
||||
wait_for=".main-content",
|
||||
clean=True,
|
||||
extract_metadata=True
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# For batch processing
|
||||
batch_size = 10
|
||||
for i in range(0, len(urls), batch_size):
|
||||
batch = urls[i:i+batch_size]
|
||||
results = await get_many(batch)
|
||||
await asyncio.sleep(1) # Rate limiting

katana -u target.com -d 3 -c 15 -jsonl -o discovered_urls.jsonl
|
||||
|
||||
# Extract discovered URLs
|
||||
jq -r '.endpoint' discovered_urls.jsonl > urls_to_analyze.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Content Extraction (Crawailer)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Rich content analysis of discovered URLs
|
||||
import json
|
||||
|
||||
with open('urls_to_analyze.txt') as f:
|
||||
urls = [line.strip() for line in f if line.strip()]
|
||||
|
||||
# Process with Crawailer for rich content
|
||||
contents = await get_many(
|
||||
urls[:100], # Limit for quality processing
|
||||
script="document.title + ' | ' + (document.querySelector('.description')?.textContent || '')",
|
||||
clean=True,
|
||||
extract_metadata=True
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Save structured results
|
||||
structured_data = [
|
||||
{
|
||||
'url': c.url,
|
||||
'title': c.title,
|
||||
'content': c.text[:500],

'script_result': c.script_result
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
for c in contents if c
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
with open('analyzed_content.json', 'w') as f:
|

# 🥊 Crawailer vs Other Web Scraping Tools
|
||||
|
||||
**TL;DR**: Crawailer follows the UNIX philosophy - do one thing exceptionally well. Other tools try to be everything to everyone.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Philosophy Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
| Tool | Philosophy | What You Get |
|
||||
|------|------------|--------------|
|
||||
| **Crawailer** | UNIX: Do one thing well | Clean content extraction → **your choice** what to do next |
|
||||
| **Crawl4AI** | All-in-one AI platform | Forced into their LLM ecosystem before you can scrape |
|
||||
| **Selenium** | Swiss Army knife | Browser automation + you build everything else |
|
||||
| **requests/httpx** | Minimal HTTP | Raw HTML → **massive** parsing work required |
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚡ Getting Started Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
### Crawailer (UNIX Way)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install crawailer
|
||||
crawailer setup # Just installs browsers - that's it!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
content = await web.get("https://example.com")
|
||||
# Clean, ready-to-use content.markdown
|
||||
# YOUR choice: Claude, GPT, local model, or just save it
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Crawl4AI (Kitchen Sink Way)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create API key file with 6+ providers
|
||||
cp .llm.env.example .llm.env
|
||||
# Edit: OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY...
|
||||
docker run --env-file .llm.env unclecode/crawl4ai
|
||||
|
||||
# Then configure LLM before you can scrape anything
|
||||
llm_config = LLMConfig(provider="openai/gpt-4o-mini", api_token=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Selenium (DIY Everything)

||||
```python
|
||||
from selenium import webdriver
|
||||
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
|
||||
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
|
||||
# 50+ lines of boilerplate just to get started...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### requests (JavaScript = Game Over)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import requests
|
||||
response = requests.get("https://react-app.com")
|
||||
# Result: <div id="root"></div> 😢
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 Configuration Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
### Crawailer: Zero Config
|

|
||||
port: 8020
|
||||
|
||||
llm:
|
||||
provider: "openai/gpt-4o-mini"
|
||||
api_key_env: "OPENAI_API_KEY"
|
||||
|
||||
# Plus .llm.env file with multiple API keys
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Selenium: Browser Management Nightmare
|
||||
```python
|
||||
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
|
||||
options.add_argument("--headless")
|
||||
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
|
||||
options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
|
||||
# 20+ more options for production...

## 🎪 JavaScript Handling Reality Check
|
||||
|
||||
### React/Vue/Angular App Example
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!-- What the browser renders -->
|
||||
<div id="app">
|
||||
<h1>Product: Amazing Widget</h1>
|
||||
<p class="price">$29.99</p>
|
||||
<button onclick="addToCart()">Add to Cart</button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Tool Results:
|
||||
|
||||
**requests/httpx:**
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<div id="app"></div>
|
||||
<!-- That's it. Game over. -->
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Scrapy:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Requires Scrapy-Splash for JavaScript - complex setup
|
||||
# settings.py
|
||||
SPLASH_URL = 'http://localhost:8050'
|
||||
DOWNLOADER_MIDDLEWARES = {
|
||||
'scrapy_splash.SplashCookiesMiddleware': 723,
|
||||
'scrapy_splash.SplashMiddleware': 725,
|
||||
}
|
||||
# Then in spider - still might not get dynamic content
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Playwright (Raw):**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Works but verbose for simple content extraction
|
||||
async with async_playwright() as p:
|
||||
browser = await p.chromium.launch()
|
||||
page = await browser.new_page()
|
||||
await page.goto("https://example.com")
|
||||
await page.wait_for_selector(".price")
|
||||
price = await page.text_content(".price")
|
||||
await browser.close()
|
||||
# Manual HTML parsing still required
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**BeautifulSoup:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Can't handle JavaScript at all
|
||||
html = requests.get("https://react-app.com").text
|
||||
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
|
||||
print(soup.find('div', id='app'))
|
||||
# Result: <div id="app"></div> - empty
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Selenium:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Works but requires manual waiting and complex setup
|
||||
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
|
||||
price = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "price")))
|
||||
# Plus error handling, timeouts, element detection...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Crawl4AI:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Works but forces you through LLM configuration first
|
||||
llm_config = LLMConfig(provider="openai/gpt-4o-mini", api_token="sk-...")
|
||||
# Then crawling works, but you're locked into their ecosystem
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Crawailer:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Just works. Clean output. Your choice what to do next.
|
||||
content = await web.get("https://example.com")
|
||||
print(content.markdown) # Perfect markdown with price extracted
|
||||
print(content.script_result) # JavaScript data if you need it
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🛠️ Real-World Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario: Building an MCP Server
|
||||
|
||||
**Crawailer Approach (UNIX):**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Clean, focused MCP server
|
||||
@mcp_tool("web_extract")
|
||||
async def extract_content(url: str):
|
||||
content = await web.get(url)
|
||||
return {
|
||||
"title": content.title,
|
||||
"markdown": content.markdown,
|
||||
"word_count": content.word_count
|
||||
}
|
||||
# Uses any LLM you want downstream
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Crawl4AI Approach (Kitchen Sink):**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Must configure their LLM system first
|
||||
llm_config = LLMConfig(provider="openai/gpt-4o-mini", api_token=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
|
||||
# Now locked into their extraction strategies
|
||||
# Can't easily integrate with your preferred AI tools
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario: AI Training Data Collection
|
||||
|
||||
**Crawailer:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Collect clean training data
|
||||
urls = ["site1.com", "site2.com", "site3.com"]
|
||||
contents = await web.get_many(urls)
|
||||
|
||||
for content in contents:
|
||||
# YOUR choice: save raw, preprocess, or analyze
|
||||
training_data.append({
|
||||
"source": content.url,
|
||||
"text": content.markdown,
|
||||
"quality_score": assess_quality(content.text)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Others:** Either can't handle JavaScript (requests) or force you into their AI pipeline (Crawl4AI).

# Crawailer JavaScript API Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Crawailer provides comprehensive JavaScript execution capabilities that enable dynamic content extraction from modern web applications. Unlike traditional HTTP scrapers, Crawailer uses a real browser (Playwright) to execute JavaScript and extract content from single-page applications (SPAs), dynamic sites, and JavaScript-heavy pages.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Full JavaScript Execution**: Execute arbitrary JavaScript code using `page.evaluate()`
|
||||
- **Before/After Script Patterns**: Run scripts before and after content extraction
|
||||
- **SPA Support**: Handle React, Vue, Angular, and other modern frameworks
|
||||
- **Dynamic Content**: Extract content that's loaded via AJAX or user interactions
|
||||
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error capture and graceful degradation
|
||||
- **Performance Monitoring**: Extract timing and memory metrics
|
||||
- **User Interaction**: Simulate clicks, form submissions, and complex workflows
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Simple JavaScript Execution
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crawailer import get
|
||||
|
||||
# Extract dynamic content
|
||||
content = await get(
|
||||
"https://example.com",
|
||||
script="document.querySelector('.dynamic-price').innerText"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"Price: {content.script_result}")
|
||||
print(f"Has script result: {content.has_script_result}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Waiting for Dynamic Content
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Wait for element and extract data
|
||||
content = await get(
|
||||
"https://spa-app.com",
|
||||
script="document.querySelector('.loaded-content').textContent",
|
||||
wait_for=".loaded-content" # Wait for element to appear
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Complex JavaScript Operations
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Execute complex JavaScript
|
||||
complex_script = """
|
||||
// Scroll to load more content
|
||||
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
|
||||
|
||||
// Wait for new content to load
|
||||
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));
|
||||
|
||||
// Extract all product data
|
||||
const products = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.product')).map(p => ({
|
||||
name: p.querySelector('.name')?.textContent,
|
||||
price: p.querySelector('.price')?.textContent,
|
||||
rating: p.querySelector('.rating')?.textContent
|
||||
}));
|
||||
|
||||
return products;
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
content = await get("https://ecommerce-site.com", script=complex_script)
|
||||
products = content.script_result
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Before/After Script Execution
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Execute script before content extraction, then after
|
||||
content = await get(
|
||||
"https://dynamic-site.com",
|
||||
script_before="document.querySelector('.load-more')?.click()",
|
||||
script_after="document.querySelectorAll('.item').length"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
if isinstance(content.script_result, dict):
|
||||
print(f"Triggered loading: {content.script_result['script_before']}")
|
||||
print(f"Items loaded: {content.script_result['script_after']}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Form Interaction and Submission
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Fill and submit forms
|
||||
form_script = """
|
||||
// Fill login form
|
||||
document.querySelector('#username').value = 'testuser';
|
||||
document.querySelector('#password').value = 'testpass';
|
||||
|
||||
// Submit form
|
||||
document.querySelector('#login-form').submit();
|
||||
|
||||
// Wait for redirect
|
||||
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 3000));
|
||||
|
||||
return 'form submitted';
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
content = await get("https://app.com/login", script=form_script)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Extract performance metrics
|
||||
perf_script = """
|
||||
({
|
||||
loadTime: performance.timing.loadEventEnd - performance.timing.navigationStart,
|
||||
domReady: performance.timing.domContentLoadedEventEnd - performance.timing.navigationStart,
|
||||
resources: performance.getEntriesByType('resource').length,
|
||||
memory: performance.memory ? {
|
||||
used: Math.round(performance.memory.usedJSHeapSize / 1024 / 1024),
|
||||
total: Math.round(performance.memory.totalJSHeapSize / 1024 / 1024)
|
||||
} : null
|
||||
})
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
content = await get("https://example.com", script=perf_script)
|
||||
metrics = content.script_result
|
||||
print(f"Load time: {metrics['loadTime']}ms")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Batch Processing
|
||||
|
||||
### Same Script for Multiple URLs
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crawailer import get_many
|
||||
|
||||
urls = [
|
||||
"https://site1.com/product/1",
|
||||
"https://site1.com/product/2",
|
||||
"https://site1.com/product/3"
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
# Extract price from all products
|
||||
results = await get_many(
|
||||
urls,
|
||||
script="document.querySelector('.price')?.textContent"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
for result in results:
|
||||
if result and result.script_result:
|
||||
print(f"{result.url}: {result.script_result}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Different Scripts per URL
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Custom script for each URL
|
||||
urls = ["https://react-app.com", "https://vue-app.com", "https://angular-app.com"]
|
||||
scripts = [
|
||||
"window.React ? 'React ' + React.version : 'No React'",
|
||||
"window.Vue ? 'Vue ' + Vue.version : 'No Vue'",
|
||||
"window.ng ? 'Angular detected' : 'No Angular'"
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
results = await get_many(urls, script=scripts)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Intelligent Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
### Search Result Interaction
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crawailer import discover
|
||||
|
||||
# Discover content with JavaScript interaction
|
||||
results = await discover(
|
||||
"machine learning tutorials",
|
||||
script="document.querySelector('.show-more')?.click()",
|
||||
content_script="document.querySelector('.read-time')?.textContent",
|
||||
max_pages=5
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
for result in results:
|
||||
print(f"{result.title} - Reading time: {result.script_result}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pagination Handling
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Handle infinite scroll
|
||||
pagination_script = """
|
||||
let results = [];
|
||||
let page = 0;
|
||||
|
||||
while (page < 3) { // Load 3 pages
|
||||
// Scroll to bottom
|
||||
window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
|
||||
|
||||
// Wait for new content
|
||||
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));
|
||||
|
||||
// Extract current page items
|
||||
const items = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.item')).map(item =>
|
||||
item.textContent.trim()
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
results.push(...items);
|
||||
page++;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return results;
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
content = await get("https://infinite-scroll-site.com", script=pagination_script)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
### JavaScript Error Capture
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
content = await get(
|
||||
"https://example.com",
|
||||
script="document.querySelector('.nonexistent').click()"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
if content.has_script_error:
|
||||
print(f"JavaScript error: {content.script_error}")
|
||||
else:
|
||||
print(f"Result: {content.script_result}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Graceful Degradation
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Try JavaScript, fall back to static content
|
||||
try:
|
||||
content = await get(
|
||||
"https://dynamic-site.com",
|
||||
script="window.dynamicData || 'fallback'"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
if content.has_script_error:
|
||||
# JavaScript failed, but we still have static content
|
||||
print(f"Using static content: {content.text[:100]}")
|
||||
else:
|
||||
print(f"Dynamic data: {content.script_result}")
|
||||
|
||||
except Exception as e:
|
||||
print(f"Complete failure: {e}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Modern Framework Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### React Applications
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Extract React component data
|
||||
react_script = """
|
||||
// Find React root
|
||||
const reactRoot = document.querySelector('[data-reactroot]') || document.querySelector('#root');
|
||||
|
||||
if (window.React && reactRoot) {
|
||||
// Get React fiber data (React 16+)
|
||||
const fiberKey = Object.keys(reactRoot).find(key => key.startsWith('__reactInternalInstance'));
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
framework: 'React',
|
||||
version: React.version,
|
||||
hasRouter: !!window.ReactRouter,
|
||||
componentCount: document.querySelectorAll('[data-reactroot] *').length
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return null;
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
content = await get("https://react-app.com", script=react_script)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Vue Applications
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Extract Vue app data
|
||||
vue_script = """
|
||||
if (window.Vue) {
|
||||
const app = document.querySelector('#app');
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## WebContent Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### Accessing JavaScript Results
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
content = await get("https://example.com", script="document.title")
|
||||
|
||||
# JavaScript result is available in WebContent object
|
||||
print(f"Script result: {content.script_result}")
|
||||
print(f"Has result: {content.has_script_result}")
|
||||
print(f"Has error: {content.has_script_error}")
|
||||
|
||||
# Also access traditional content
|
||||
print(f"Title: {content.title}")
|
||||
print(f"Text: {content.text[:100]}")
|
||||
print(f"Markdown: {content.markdown[:100]}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Combining Static and Dynamic Data
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Extract both static content and dynamic data
|
||||
dynamic_script = """
|
||||
({
|
||||
dynamicPrice: document.querySelector('.dynamic-price')?.textContent,
|
||||
userCount: document.querySelector('.user-count')?.textContent,
|
||||
lastUpdated: document.querySelector('.last-updated')?.textContent
|
||||
})
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
content = await get("https://dashboard.com", script=dynamic_script)
|
||||
|
||||
# Use both static and dynamic content
|
||||
analysis = {
|
||||
'title': content.title,
|
||||
'word_count': content.word_count,
|
||||
'reading_time': content.reading_time,
|
||||
'dynamic_data': content.script_result
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Optimize JavaScript Execution
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Lightweight scripts for better performance
|
||||
fast_script = "document.title" # Simple, fast
|
||||
|
||||
# Avoid heavy DOM operations
|
||||
slow_script = """
|
||||
// This is expensive - avoid if possible
|
||||
const allElements = document.querySelectorAll('*');
|
||||
return Array.from(allElements).map(el => el.tagName);
|
||||
"""
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Batch Processing Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Process in smaller batches for better memory usage
|
||||
urls = [f"https://site.com/page/{i}" for i in range(100)]
|
||||
|
||||
batch_size = 10
|
||||
results = []
|
||||
|
||||
for i in range(0, len(urls), batch_size):
|
||||
batch = urls[i:i+batch_size]
|
||||
batch_results = await get_many(batch, script="document.title")
|
||||
results.extend(batch_results)
|
||||
|
||||
# Optional: small delay between batches
|
||||
await asyncio.sleep(1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Script Design
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# ✅ Good: Simple, focused scripts
|
||||
good_script = "document.querySelector('.price').textContent"
|
||||
|
||||
# ❌ Avoid: Complex scripts that could fail
|
||||
bad_script = """
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const price = document.querySelector('.price').textContent.split('$')[1];
|
||||
const discountedPrice = parseFloat(price) * 0.9;
|
||||
return `$${discountedPrice.toFixed(2)}`;
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
return null;
|
||||
}
|
||||
"""
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Always check for script errors
|
||||
content = await get(url, script=script)
|
||||
|
||||
if content.has_script_error:
|
||||
# Handle the error appropriately
|
||||
logging.warning(f"JavaScript error on {url}: {content.script_error}")
|
||||
# Use fallback approach
|
||||
else:
|
||||
# Process successful result
|
||||
process_result(content.script_result)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Performance Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import time
|
||||
|
||||
start_time = time.time()
|
||||
content = await get(url, script=script)
|
||||
duration = time.time() - start_time
|
||||
|
||||
if duration > 10: # If taking too long
|
||||
logging.warning(f"Slow JavaScript execution on {url}: {duration:.2f}s")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
### E-commerce Data Extraction
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Extract product information
|
||||
product_script = """
|
||||
({
|
||||
name: document.querySelector('.product-name')?.textContent,
|
||||
price: document.querySelector('.price')?.textContent,
|
||||
rating: document.querySelector('.rating')?.textContent,
|
||||
availability: document.querySelector('.stock-status')?.textContent,
|
||||
images: Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.product-image img')).map(img => img.src)
|
||||
})
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
content = await get("https://shop.com/product/123", script=product_script)
|
||||
product_data = content.script_result
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Social Media Content
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Extract social media posts (be respectful of terms of service)
|
||||
social_script = """
|
||||
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.post')).slice(0, 10).map(post => ({
|
||||
text: post.querySelector('.post-text')?.textContent,
|
||||
author: post.querySelector('.author')?.textContent,
|
||||
timestamp: post.querySelector('.timestamp')?.textContent,
|
||||
likes: post.querySelector('.likes-count')?.textContent
|
||||
}))
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
content = await get("https://social-site.com/feed", script=social_script)
|
||||
posts = content.script_result
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### News and Articles
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Extract article metadata
|
||||
article_script = """
|
||||
({
|
||||
headline: document.querySelector('h1')?.textContent,
|
||||
author: document.querySelector('.author')?.textContent,
|
||||
publishDate: document.querySelector('.publish-date')?.textContent,
|
||||
readingTime: document.querySelector('.reading-time')?.textContent,
|
||||
tags: Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.tag')).map(tag => tag.textContent),
|
||||
wordCount: document.querySelector('.article-body')?.textContent.split(' ').length
|
||||
})
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
content = await get("https://news-site.com/article/123", script=article_script)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with AI Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
### Content Preparation for LLMs

||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Extract structured content for AI processing
|
||||
ai_script = """
|
||||
({
|
||||
mainContent: document.querySelector('main')?.textContent,
|
||||
headings: Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('h1, h2, h3')).map(h => ({
|
||||
level: h.tagName,
|
||||
text: h.textContent
|
||||
})),
|
||||
keyPoints: Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.highlight, .callout')).map(el => el.textContent),
|
||||
metadata: {
|
||||
wordCount: document.body.textContent.split(' ').length,
|
||||
readingLevel: 'advanced', // Could be calculated
|
||||
topics: Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.topic-tag')).map(tag => tag.textContent)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
"""
|
||||
|
||||
content = await get("https://technical-blog.com/post", script=ai_script)
|
||||
structured_data = content.script_result
|
||||
|
||||
# Now ready for AI processing
|
||||
ai_prompt = f"""
|
||||
Analyze this content:
|
||||
|
||||
Title: {content.title}
|
||||
Main Content: {structured_data['mainContent'][:1000]}...
|
||||
Key Points: {structured_data['keyPoints']}
|
||||
Topics: {structured_data['metadata']['topics']}
|
||||
|
||||
Provide a summary and key insights.

||||
|
||||
2. **Element Not Found**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Use optional chaining and fallbacks
|
||||
safe_script = """
|
||||
document.querySelector('.target')?.textContent || 'not found'
|
||||
"""
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **JavaScript Not Loaded**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Wait for JavaScript frameworks to load
|
||||
content = await get(
|
||||
url,
|
||||
script="typeof React !== 'undefined' ? React.version : 'React not loaded'",
|
||||
wait_for="[data-reactroot]"
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Debug Mode
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Enable verbose logging for debugging
|
||||
import logging
|
||||
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

# Rich metadata extraction
|
||||
print(f"Title: {content.title}")
|
||||
print(f"Author: {content.author}")
|
||||
print(f"Reading time: {content.reading_time}")
|
||||
print(f"Quality score: {content.quality_score}/10")
|
||||
|
||||
# AI-ready formats
|
||||

|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Research assistant pattern
|
||||
research = await discover(
|
||||
"quantum computing breakthroughs",
|
||||
content_script="document.querySelector('.abstract')?.textContent"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
for paper in research:
|
||||
summary = await llm.summarize(paper.markdown)
|
||||
abstract = paper.script_result # JavaScript-extracted abstract
|
||||
insights = await llm.extract_insights(paper.content + abstract)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Content Monitoring
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# E-commerce price monitoring
|
||||
product_data = await get(
|

"https://shop.com/product/123",
|
||||
script="""
|
||||
({
|
||||
price: document.querySelector('.price')?.textContent,
|
||||
availability: document.querySelector('.stock')?.textContent,
|
||||
rating: document.querySelector('.rating')?.textContent
|
||||
})
|
||||
"""
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
price_info = product_data.script_result
|
||||
await notify_price_change(price_info)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Reconnaissance
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Endpoint discovery (consider using Katana for this)
|
||||
endpoints = await get(
|
||||
"https://target.com",
|
||||
script="""
|
||||
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('a[href]')).map(a => a.href)
|
||||
.filter(url => url.startsWith('https://target.com/api/'))
|
||||
"""
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
api_endpoints = endpoints.script_result

# test-server/docker-compose.yml
|
||||
services:
|
||||
caddy:
|

## JavaScript API Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Categories
|
||||
|
||||
#### Basic JavaScript Execution
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# tests/test_javascript_api.py:68-128
|
||||
async def test_basic_script_execution():
|
||||
"""Test basic JavaScript execution with result capture"""
|
||||
content = await get(

||||
script="document.title"

||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
assert content.has_script_result
|
||||
assert content.script_result is not None
|
||||
assert not content.has_script_error
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Dynamic Content Extraction
|
||||
```python
|
||||
async def test_dynamic_content_extraction():
|
||||
"""Test extraction of JavaScript-loaded content"""
|
||||
content = await get(

|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
assert content.script_result == "react"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Before/After Script Patterns
|
||||
```python

||||
async def test_before_after_scripts():
|
||||
"""Test script execution before and after content extraction"""
|
||||
content = await get(

|
||||
assert isinstance(content.script_result, dict)
|
||||
assert 'script_before' in content.script_result
|
||||
assert 'script_after' in content.script_result
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Error Handling Validation
|
||||
```python
|
||||
async def test_javascript_error_handling():
|
||||
"""Test graceful handling of JavaScript errors"""

```
|
||||
|

||||
|
||||
assert len(results) == 3
|
||||
assert all(r.has_script_result for r in results if r)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Per-URL Custom Scripts
|
||||
```python
