# Silene

Silene is an open source web crawler framework built upon [Pyppeteer](https://github.com/pyppeteer/pyppeteer).

## Requirements
You must have at least [Python 3.7](https://www.python.org/downloads/) installed.

## Installation
To install the latest release run `pip install silene`.

## Quickstart guide

Each crawler must subclass the `Crawler` class and implement the abstract `configure` method. The `CrawlerConfiguration`
specifies the initial requests to make and other properties of the crawler. Once a request is processed, the appropriate
callback will be invoked. By default, in case of a successful request the
`on_response_success` callback will be executed. This is where you can interact with the page content. You can also
specify custom callbacks for your requests.

Below you can find a very simple implementation.

### Example code snippet

```python
from silene.crawl_request import CrawlRequest
from silene.crawl_response import CrawlResponse
from silene.crawler import Crawler
from silene.crawler_configuration import CrawlerConfiguration


class MyCrawler(Crawler):
    def configure(self) -> CrawlerConfiguration:
        return CrawlerConfiguration([CrawlRequest('https://example.com')])

    def on_response_success(self, response: CrawlResponse) -> None:
        # Do something with the response...
        pass
```
