reqwest-scraper - Web scraping integration with reqwest

crates.io Documentation CI

Extends reqwest to support multiple web scraping methods.

Features

Start Guide

  • add dependency
    reqwest = { version = "0.12", features = ["json"] }
    reqwest-scraper="0.3.1"
  • use ScraperResponse
    use reqwest_scraper::ScraperResponse;

JsonPath

  • Json::select<T: DeserializeOwned>(path: &str) -> Result<Vec<T>>
  • Json::select_one<T: DeserializeOwned>(path: &str) -> Result<T>
  • Json::select_as_str(path: &str) -> Result<String>

example:

use reqwest_scraper::ScraperResponse;

pub async fn request() -> Result<()> {
    let json = reqwest::Client::builder()
        .build()?
        .get("https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=rust")
        .header("User-Agent", "Rust Reqwest")
        .send()
        .await?
        .jsonpath()
        .await?;

    let total_count = json.select_as_str("$.total_count")?;
    let names: Vec<String> = json.select("$.items[*].full_name")?;

    println!("{}", total_count);
    println!("{}", names.join("\t"));

    Ok(())
}

CSS selector

  • Html::select(selector: &str) -> Result<Selectable>
  • Selectable::iter() -> impl Iterator<SelectItem>
  • Selectable::first() -> Option<SelectItem>
  • SelectItem::name() -> &str
  • SelectItem::id() -> Option<&str>
  • SelectItem::has_class(class: &str, case_sensitive: CaseSensitivity) -> bool
  • SelectItem::classes() -> Classes
  • SelectItem::attrs() -> Attrs
  • SelectItem::attr(attr: &str) -> Option<&str>
  • SelectItem::text() -> String
  • SelectItem::html() -> String
  • SelectItem::inner_html() -> String
  • SelectItem::children() -> impl Iterator<SelectItem>
  • SelectItem::find(selector: &str) -> Result<Selectable>

example:

use reqwest_scraper::ScraperResponse;

async fn request() -> Result<()> {
    let html = reqwest::get("https://github.com/holmofy")
        .await?
        .css_selector()
        .await?;

    assert_eq!(
        html.select(".p-name")?.iter().nth(0).unwrap().text().trim(),
        "holmofy"
    );

    let select_result = html.select(".vcard-details > li.vcard-detail")?;

    for detail_item in select_result.iter() {
        println!("{}", detail_item.attr("aria-label").unwrap())
    }

    Ok(())
}

XPath

  • XHtml::select(xpath: &str) -> Result<XPathResult>
  • XPathResult::as_nodes() -> Vec<Node>
  • XPathResult::as_strs() -> Vec<String>
  • XPathResult::as_node() -> Option<Node>
  • XPathResult::as_str() -> Option<String>
  • Node::name() -> String
  • Node::id() -> Option<String>
  • Node::classes() -> HashSet<String>
  • Node::attr(attr: &str) -> Option<String>
  • Node::has_attr(attr: &str) -> bool
  • Node::text() -> String
  • TODO: Node::html() -> String
  • TODO: Node::inner_html() -> String
  • Node::children() -> Vec<Node>
  • Node::findnodes(relative_xpath: &str) -> Result<Vec<Node>>
  • Node::findvalues(relative_xpath: &str) -> Result<Vec<String>>
  • Node::findnode(relative_xpath: &str) -> Result<Option<Node>>
  • Node::findvalue(relative_xpath: &str) -> Result<Option<String>>

example:

async fn request() -> Result<()> {
    let html = reqwest::get("https://github.com/holmofy")
        .await?
        .xpath()
        .await?;

    // simple extract element
    let name = html
        .select("//span[contains(@class,'p-name')]")?
        .as_node()
        .unwrap()
        .text();
    println!("{}", name);
    assert_eq!(name.trim(), "holmofy");

    // iterate elements
    let select_result = html
        .select("//ul[contains(@class,'vcard-details')]/li[contains(@class,'vcard-detail')]")?
        .as_nodes();

    println!("{}", select_result.len());

    for item in select_result.into_iter() {
        let attr = item.attr("aria-label").unwrap_or_else(|| "".into());
        println!("{}", attr);
        println!("{}", item.text());
    }

    // attribute extract
    let select_result = html
        .select("//ul[contains(@class,'vcard-details')]/li[contains(@class,'vcard-detail')]/@aria-label")?
        .as_strs();

    println!("{}", select_result.len());
    select_result.into_iter().for_each(|s| println!("{}", s));

    Ok(())
}

Derive macro extract

use FromCssSelector & selector to extract html element into struct

// define struct and derive the FromCssSelector trait
#[derive(Debug, FromCssSelector)]
#[selector(path = "#user-repositories-list > ul > li")]
struct Repo {
    #[selector(path = "a[itemprop~='name']", default = "<unname>", text)]
    name: String,

    #[selector(path = "span[itemprop~='programmingLanguage']", text)]
    program_lang: Option<String>,

    #[selector(path = "div.topics-row-container>a", text)]
    topics: Vec<String>,
}

// request
let html = reqwest::get("https://github.com/holmofy?tab=repositories")
    .await?
    .css_selector()
    .await?;

// Use the generated `from_html` method to extract data into the struct
let items = Repo::from_html(html)?;
items.iter().for_each(|item| println!("{:?}", item));

use FromXPath & xpath to extract html element into struct

// define struct and derive the FromXPath trait
#[derive(Debug, FromXPath)]
#[xpath(path = "//div[@id='user-repositories-list']/ul/li")]
struct Repo {
    #[xpath(path = ".//a[contains(@itemprop,'name')]/text()", default = "<unname>")]
    name: String,

    #[xpath(path = ".//span[contains(@itemprop,'programmingLanguage')]/text()")]
    program_lang: Option<String>,

    #[xpath(path = ".//div[contains(@class,'topics-row-container')]/a/text()")]
    topics: Vec<String>,
}

let html = reqwest::get("https://github.com/holmofy?tab=repositories")
    .await?
    .xpath()
    .await?;

// Use the generated `from_xhtml` method to extract data into the struct
let items = Repo::from_xhtml(html)?;
items.iter().for_each(|item| println!("{:?}", item));
