Package: crawler-framework
AboutMain objective is to secure fast deployment of crawler system that will help you setup all that you need to
get started with data mining interactively over cmd/terminal.
Concept is based on long working experience and mistakes that have been learned over the years in data mining
and database arhitecture. It could save you a lot of time and effort using this framework.
Currently works on Win OS.InstallationMost important thing is that you have python 3 installed on your machine.With virtual environment (recommended)To be able to make virtual environment you will need topip3.7 install virtualenvLocation of your virtual environment on WinOS shoud beC:\Users\YourUsername\EnvsThen create virtual environmentpy -3.7 -m virtualenv Envs/crawler_frameworkBy default now your virtual environment should be active if it isn't activate your virtual
environment by writingworkon crawler_frameworkNow you can install librarypip install crawler_frameworkWithout virtual environmentJust open cmd and writepip3.7 install crawler_framework. This option is ok if you have only one version
of python installed on your system. But if you have more python version installed and you decide to go with this
option you will have to finish some additional question's during configuration of crawler framework.
Like that it will be ensured that everything works ether way.SetupDatabase configurationBefore we can deploy anything we must setup connection strings for one or more database
servers that we are going to use.
Currently supported are PostgreSQL, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.It is recommended to create database on your server that will only be used by framework.Open cmd/terminal and writeconfig.py. If everything goes well you should see this options below.
It is possible that program asks for some additional information if you have more than one python interpreter
installed on your machine and you did not use virtual environment. But it will be required only once.Create all database connection's that you think you will use, from database where you will deploy crawler_framework
to database where you will store data etc. by selecting option number 1 and then database option number one.HintsMicrosoft SQL ServerIf you are using default option be sure to define in ODBC Data sources administrator dsn name that will have
default database that will be used for framework. If you are using pymssql you will define server_ip, port and database
during database configuration stage.Deploying frameworkOpen cmd/terminal and writeconfig.py. Select option 2 (Deploy framework) and then select option from
the list of connections you created that is going to be used for deployment. This will deploy table structure in selected database
on selected server connection. In our case we will deploy it on PostgreSQL localhost server.Setup tor expert bundleYou can skip this if you are not planing to use tor as your proxy provider but only public proxies.Open cmd/terminal and writeconfig.py. Select option 4 (Tor setup). Then from to setup option select option 1(Install),
this will automatically install tor expert bundle with all necessary directories and subdirectories.If you have already have installed and then changed default options then this will reset those options back to default just like some kind of reinstall.Setup option 2 (Tor options) allows you to change some of defaults when constructing our tor network such as
how many tor instances should run in same time or how long time must pass before changing and identity of tor instance.Starting proxy serverProxy server is multifunctional program that acquires new proxies(crawlers), test proxies, creates tor network etc.Open cmd/terminal and writeconfig.py. Select option 3 (Run proxy server).SuboptionsFrom suboptions you can select suboption 0 to run all both public proxy and tor service or suboption 1 to run only public proxy gatherer or
suboption 2 to run only tor service.Suboption 2 is great if you want to run tor service on another pc inside your network.
By doing so you can increase number of tor that will run but it will not hog your local CPU and RAM.All data will be saved in database where you have deployed crawler_framewok.
If you didn't made deployment then this will probably end with exceptions.
