Extract embedded metadata from HTML markup

Overview

extruct

Build Status Coverage report PyPI Version

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

Currently, extruct supports:

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')

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)

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)

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
