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

Currently, *extruct* supports:

- `W3C's HTML Microdata`_
- `embedded JSON-LD`_
- `Microformat`_ via `mf2py`_
- `Facebook's Open Graph`_
- (experimental) `RDFa`_ via `rdflib`_
- `Dublin Core Metadata (DC-HTML-2003)`_

.. _embedded JSON-LD: http://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld/#embedding-json-ld-in-html-documents
.. _RDFa: https://www.w3.org/TR/html-rdfa/
.. _rdflib: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rdflib/
.. _Microformat: http://microformats.org/wiki/Main_Page
.. _mf2py: https://github.com/microformats/mf2py

.. _Dublin Core Metadata (DC-HTML-2003): https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcq-html/2003-11-30/

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

Installation
------------

::

    pip install extruct


Usage
-----

All-in-one extraction
+++++++++++++++++++++

The simplest example how to use extruct is to call
``extruct.extract(htmlstring, base_url=base_url)``
with some HTML string and an optional base URL.

Let's try this on a webpage that uses all the syntaxes supported (RDFa with `ogp`_).

First fetch the HTML using python-requests and then feed the response body to ``extruct``::

  >>> import extruct
  >>> import requests
  >>> import pprint
  >>> from w3lib.html import get_base_url
  >>>
  >>> pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=2)
  >>> r = requests.get('https://www.optimizesmart.com/how-to-use-open-graph-protocol/')
  >>> base_url = get_base_url(r.text, r.url)
  >>> data = extruct.extract(r.text, base_url=base_url)
  >>>
  >>> pp.pprint(data)

Select syntaxes
+++++++++++++++
It is possible to select which syntaxes to extract by passing a list with the desired ones to extract. Valid values: 'microdata', 'json-ld', 'opengraph', 'microformat', 'rdfa' and 'dublincore'. If no list is passed all syntaxes will be extracted and returned::

  >>> r = requests.get('http://www.songkick.com/artists/236156-elysian-fields')
  >>> base_url = get_base_url(r.text, r.url)
  >>> data = extruct.extract(r.text, base_url, syntaxes=['microdata', 'opengraph', 'rdfa'])

                'http://ogp.me/ns#type': [{'@value': 'songkick-concerts:artist'}],
                'http://ogp.me/ns#url': [ { '@value': 'https://www.songkick.com/artists/236156-elysian-fields'}],
                'http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbmlapp_id': [ { '@value': '308540029359'}]}]}

Alternatively, if you already parsed the HTML before calling extruct, you can use the tree instead of the HTML string: ::

  >>> # using the request from the previous example
  >>> base_url = get_base_url(r.text, r.url)
  >>> from extruct.utils import parse_html
  >>> tree = parse_html(r.text)
  >>> data = extruct.extract(tree, base_url, syntaxes=['microdata', 'opengraph', 'rdfa'])

Microformat format doesn't support the HTML tree, so you need to use a HTML string.

Uniform
+++++++
Another option is to uniform the output of microformat, opengraph, microdata, dublincore and json-ld syntaxes to the following structure: ::

    {'@context': 'http://example.com',
                 '@type': 'example_type',
                 /* All other the properties in keys here */
                 }

To do so set ``uniform=True`` when calling ``extract``, it's false by default for backward compatibility. Here the same example as before but with uniform set to True: ::

  >>> r = requests.get('http://www.songkick.com/artists/236156-elysian-fields')
  >>> base_url = get_base_url(r.text, r.url)
  >>> data = extruct.extract(r.text, base_url, syntaxes=['microdata', 'opengraph', 'rdfa'], uniform=True)
  >>>
  >>> pp.pprint(data)
  { 'microdata': [],
    'opengraph': [ { '@context': { 'concerts': 'http://ogp.me/ns/fb/songkick-concerts#',

NB rdfa structure is not uniformed yet.

Returning HTML node
+++++++++++++++++++

It is also possible to get references to HTML node for every extracted metadata item.
The feature is supported only by microdata syntax.

To use that, just set the ``return_html_node`` option of ``extract`` method to ``True``.
As the result, an additional key "nodeHtml" will be included in the result for every
item. Each node is of ``lxml.etree.Element`` type: ::

  >>> r = requests.get('http://www.rugpadcorner.com/shop/no-muv/')
  >>> base_url = get_base_url(r.text, r.url)
  >>> data = extruct.extract(r.text, base_url, syntaxes=['microdata'], return_html_node=True)
  >>>
  >>> pp.pprint(data)
  { 'microdata': [ { 'htmlNode': <Element div at 0x7f10f8e6d3b8>,
                     'properties': { 'description': 'KEEP RUGS FLAT ON CARPET!\n'
                                                    'Not your thin sticky pad, '
                                                    'No-Muv is truly the best!',
                                     'image': ['', ''],
                                     'name': ['No-Muv', 'No-Muv'],
                                     'offers': [ { 'htmlNode': <Element div at 0x7f10f8e6d138>,

                                                                   'price': 'Price:  '
                                                                            '$45'},
                                                   'type': 'http://schema.org/Offer'},

                                                                   'price': '(Select '

                                     'ratingValue': ['5.00', '5.00']},

Single extractors
-----------------

You can also use each extractor individually. See below.

Microdata extraction
++++++++++++++++++++
::

  >>> import pprint
  >>> pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=2)
  >>>
  >>> from extruct.w3cmicrodata import MicrodataExtractor
  >>>
  >>> # example from http://www.w3.org/TR/microdata/#associating-names-with-items

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

Command Line Tool
-----------------

*extruct* provides a command line tool that allows you to fetch a page and
extract the metadata from it directly from the command line.

Dependencies
++++++++++++

The command line tool depends on ``requests``, which is not installed by default
when you install **extruct**. In order to use the command line tool, you can
install **extruct** with the `cli` extra requirements::

    pip install 'extruct[cli]'


Usage
+++++

::

    extruct "http://example.com"

Downloads "http://example.com" and outputs the Microdata, JSON-LD and RDFa, Open Graph
and Microformat metadata to `stdout`.

Supported Parameters
++++++++++++++++++++

By default, the command line tool will try to extract all the supported
metadata formats from the page (currently Microdata, JSON-LD, RDFa, Open Graph
and Microformat). If you want to restrict the output to just one or a subset of
those, you can pass their individual names collected in a list through 'syntaxes' argument.

For example, this command extracts only Microdata and JSON-LD metadata from
"http://example.com"::

    extruct "http://example.com" --syntaxes microdata json-ld

NB syntaxes names passed must correspond to these: microdata, json-ld, rdfa, opengraph, microformat

Development version
-------------------

::

    mkvirtualenv extruct
    pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
