Exquisite Corpus
Scrape sites, feeds, & files.
Turn them to 'just text' so you can feed them to the AI gawd.
You can parse any type of feed supported by feedjira.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'exquisite_corpus'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install exquisite_corpus
Usage
Basic
parser = ExquisiteCorpus.new(inputs: [
{source: 'http://example.com'},
{source: 'https://example.com/feed'},
{source: '/path/to/local/file.html'}
])
parser.parse!
# A plain-text of example.com's markup
parser.results.first.content
# Want all the text?
all_content = parser.results.map(&:content)
# Export a directory of text files
parser.export_to('/a/new/directory')
Don't Scrape Dumb Stuff
This library refuses to scrape script
, form
, input
, style
tags.
Want to exclude more?:
parser = ExquisiteCorpus.new(inputs: [
{source: 'http://example.com', except: ['array', 'of', 'cssSelectors']}
])
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
