I made a simple web crawler using PHP (and cURL). It parses rougly 60 000 html pages and retreive product information (it's a tool on an intranet). My main concern is the concurrent connection. I would like to limit the number of connection, so whatever happens, the crawler would never use more than 15 concurrent connections. The serv...

I am wondering if there is a way to make a web bot/crawler for a website in ASP.NET. I have to grab information from one of our payment providers, but they do not have an API so the only current way to grab the information automatically would be to log in to their page and then fill out a form and retrieve the information. Is there any...
I'm currently using the HTML Agility Pack in C# for a web crawler. I've managed to avoid many issues so far (Invalid URIs, such as "/extra/url/to/base.html" and "#" links), but I also need to process PHP, Javascript, etc. Like for some sites, the links are in PHP, and when my web crawler tries to navigate to these, it fails. One examp...

Detecting the advert itself is extremely simple, both the name of the flash file and the target of the href always contain a certain string. What would be the best "...

Are selected JS filters not loaded for any reason? (Such as suspected ad which is ignored for optimization reasons?) I don't want to acc...

For example, some websites publish pseudo-podcasts, but not as proper RSS feeds; they just publish an MP3 file regularly with a web page containing the playlist. I want to write a script to run regularly and parse the relevant pag...
I need to create a user configurable web spider/crawler, and I'm thinking about using Scrapy. But, I can't hard-code the domains and allowed URL regex:es -- this will instead be configurable in a GUI. How do I (as simple as possible) create a spider or a set of spiders with Scrapy where the domains and allowed URL regex:es are dynamical...
I'm trying to access information on a webpage. First time I've done this. The problem with this is that it is too slow. Doing this only on one page, that loads very fast on a browser, but takes forever here. Only thing I need here is the HTML behind the page, so I got to ask, is my code in some way downloading the images? Any help would ...

This includes both main domains (both 2LD and 3LD) and particular URLs scraped from those domains (whether hosted there [like most blogs] or only linked from it [like Digg], and with a reference to the host domain). I also scrape the Alexa top mil...
I want to crawl a website and store the content on my computer for later analysis. However my OS file system has a limit on the number of sub directories, meaning storing the original folder structure is not going to work. Suggestions? Map the URL to some filename so can store flatly? Or just shove it in a database like sqlite to avoi...
