Abrade is a coroutine-based web scraper suitable for querying the existence (a HEAD request) or the contents (a GET request) of a web resource with a sequential, numerical pattern.

Check out the blog post at http://lospi.net for usage and examples.

v0.2

You can now pipe URLs to Abrade via the --stdin option:

echo /anything/a/b/c?d=123 | abrade httpbin.org --stdin --contents --verbose

You must omit the pattern positional argument to pipe from stdin.

You can also use the --screen option to detect error landing pages that still return 200 responses. Such responses get screened out and will not get written to disk during a --content scrape.
