About The Project

Scrapera is a completely Chromedriver free package that provides access to a variety of scraper scripts for most commonly used machine learning and data science domains. Scrapera directly and asynchronously scrapes from public API endpoints, thereby removing the heavy browser overhead which makes Scrapera extremely fast and robust to DOM changes. Currently, Scrapera supports the following crawlers:

  • Images
  • Text
  • Audio
  • Videos
  • Miscellaneous

  • The main aim of this package is to cluster common scraping tasks so as to make it more convenient for ML researchers and engineers to focus on their models rather than worrying about the data collection process

    DISCLAIMER: Owner or Contributors do not take any responsibility for misuse of data obtained through Scrapera. Contact the owner if copyright terms are violated due to any module provided by Scrapera.
