What is CrawleMe! ?

CrawleMe! is is easy way of crawling image or link urls from any web site.

How It Works ?

Create your web page wrapper class.

from crawleme.base import BasePage

class MyPage(BasePage):
	url = 'http://www.mysite.com'
	item_path = '//*[@id="campaign_list"]/div/a'
	item_attribute = 'href'

Create a instance of wrapper class and call crawle method.

crawler = MyPage()
urls = crawler.crawle()

for url in urls:
	print url

http://www.mysite.com/aboutus/
http://www.mysite.com/foo/
http://www.mysite.com/bar/
