CommonCrawlIndex

Use this gem to access Common Crawl URL Index with ruby. You can get more information on format and original python implementation at https://github.com/trivio/common_crawl_index

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'common-crawl-index'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install common-crawl-index

When using with Rails in config/initializers/common_crawl_index.rb

CommonCrawlIndex::Client.config({
  :access_key_id =>  "amazon aws access_key",
  :secret_access_key => "amazon aws secret_key",
  :cc_index_path => "s3://aws-publicdatasets/common-crawl/projects/url-index/url-index.1356128792" # optional
})

And to find URLs matching certain prefix use following syntax

client = CommonCrawlIndex::Client.new(AMAZON_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AMAZON_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)

# or

client = CommonCrawlIndex::Client.new() # already configured

url = "http://www.amazon.com/"

client.find_by_prefix(url) do |url_data|
  # get all URLs starting with http://www.amazon.com/
end
