Extract embedded metadata from HTML markup

Project description

https://img.shields.io/travis/scrapinghub/extruct/master.svg https://img.shields.io/codecov/c/github/scrapinghub/extruct/master.svg?maxAge=2592000

extruct is a library for extracting embedded metadata from HTML markup.

It also has a built-in HTTP server to test its output as JSON.

Currently, extruct only supports W3C’s HTML Microdata and embedded JSON-LD.

The microdata algorithm is a revisit of this Scrapinghub blog post showing how to use EXSLT extensions.

Roadmap

Installation

pip install extruct

Usage

Microdata extraction

>>> from pprint import pprint
>>>
>>> from extruct.w3cmicrodata import MicrodataExtractor
>>>
>>> # example from http://www.w3.org/TR/microdata/#associating-names-with-items
>>> html = """<!DOCTYPE HTML>
... <html>
...  <head>
...   <title>Photo gallery</title>
...  </head>
...  <body>
...   <h1>My photos</h1>
...   <figure itemscope itemtype="http://n.whatwg.org/work" itemref="licenses">
...    <img itemprop="work" src="images/house.jpeg" alt="A white house, boarded up, sits in a forest.">
...    <figcaption itemprop="title">The house I found.</figcaption>
...   </figure>
...   <figure itemscope itemtype="http://n.whatwg.org/work" itemref="licenses">
...    <img itemprop="work" src="images/mailbox.jpeg" alt="Outside the house is a mailbox. It has a leaflet inside.">
...    <figcaption itemprop="title">The mailbox.</figcaption>
...   </figure>
...   <footer>
...    <p id="licenses">All images licensed under the <a itemprop="license"
...    href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php">MIT
...    license</a>.</p>
...   </footer>
...  </body>
... </html>"""
>>>
>>> mde = MicrodataExtractor()
>>> data = mde.extract(html)
>>> pprint(data)
[{'properties': {'license': 'http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php',
                 'title': 'The house I found.',
                 'work': 'http://www.example.com/images/house.jpeg'},
  'type': 'http://n.whatwg.org/work'},
 {'properties': {'license': 'http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php',
                 'title': 'The mailbox.',
                 'work': 'http://www.example.com/images/mailbox.jpeg'},
  'type': 'http://n.whatwg.org/work'}]

JSON-LD extraction

>>> from pprint import pprint
>>>
>>> from extruct.jsonld import JsonLdExtractor
>>>
>>> html = """<!DOCTYPE HTML>
... <html>
...  <head>
...   <title>Some Person Page</title>
...  </head>
...  <body>
...   <h1>This guys</h1>
...     <script type="application/ld+json">
...     {
...       "@context": "http://schema.org",
...       "@type": "Person",
...       "name": "John Doe",
...       "jobTitle": "Graduate research assistant",
...       "affiliation": "University of Dreams",
...       "additionalName": "Johnny",
...       "url": "http://www.example.com",
...       "address": {
...         "@type": "PostalAddress",
...         "streetAddress": "1234 Peach Drive",
...         "addressLocality": "Wonderland",
...         "addressRegion": "Georgia"
...       }
...     }
...     </script>
...  </body>
... </html>"""
>>>
>>> jslde = JsonLdExtractor()
>>>
>>> data = jslde.extract(html)
>>> pprint(data)
[{'@context': 'http://schema.org',
  '@type': 'Person',
  'additionalName': 'Johnny',
  'address': {'@type': 'PostalAddress',
              'addressLocality': 'Wonderland',
              'addressRegion': 'Georgia',
              'streetAddress': '1234 Peach Drive'},
  'affiliation': 'University of Dreams',
  'jobTitle': 'Graduate research assistant',
  'name': 'John Doe',
  'url': 'http://www.example.com'}]

RDFa extraction (experimental)

First, install the extra dependencies for RDFa support (extruct depends on rdflib and rdflib-jsonld for this):

pip install extruct[rdfa]

Then feed some HTML to a extruct.rdfa.RDFaExtractor instance using .extract():

>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> from extruct.rdfa import RDFaExtractor  # you can ignore the warning about html5lib not being available
INFO:rdflib:RDFLib Version: 4.2.1
/home/paul/.virtualenvs/extruct.wheel.test/lib/python3.5/site-packages/rdflib/plugins/parsers/structureddata.py:30: UserWarning: html5lib not found! RDFa and Microdata parsers will not be available.
  'parsers will not be available.')
>>>
>>> html = """<html>
...  <head>
...    ...
...  </head>
...  <body prefix="dc: http://purl.org/dc/terms/ schema: http://schema.org/">
...    <div resource="/alice/posts/trouble_with_bob" typeof="schema:BlogPosting">
...       <h2 property="dc:title">The trouble with Bob</h2>
...       ...

...       <div property="schema:articleBody">
...         <p>The trouble with Bob is that he takes much better photos than I do:</p>
...       </div>
...      ...
...    </div>
...  </body>
... </html>
... """
>>>
>>> rdfae = RDFaExtractor()
>>> pprint(
...     rdfae.extract(html, url='http://www.example.com/index.html')
... )
[{'@id': 'http://www.example.com/alice/posts/trouble_with_bob',
  '@type': ['http://schema.org/BlogPosting'],
  'http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator': [{'@id': 'http://www.example.com/index.html#me'}],
  'http://purl.org/dc/terms/title': [{'@value': 'The trouble with Bob'}],
  'http://schema.org/articleBody': [{'@value': '\n'
                                               '        The trouble with Bob '
                                               'is that he takes much better '
                                               'photos than I do:\n'
                                               '      '}],
  'http://schema.org/creator': [{'@id': 'http://www.example.com/index.html#me'}]}]

You’ll get a list of expanded JSON-LD nodes.

REST API service

extruct also ships with a REST API service to test its output from URLs.

Dependencies

Usage

python -m extruct.service

launches an HTTP server listening on port 10005.

Methods supported

/extruct/<URL>
method = GET


/extruct/batch
method = POST
params:
    urls - a list of URLs separted by newlines
    urlsfile - a file with one URL per line

E.g. http://localhost:10005/extruct/http://www.sarenza.com/i-love-shoes-susket-s767163-p0000119412

will output something like this:
