crawley

Crawls web pages and prints any link it can find.

features

  • fast html SAX-parser (powered by x/net/html)
  • js/css lexical parsers (powered by tdewolff/parse) - extract api endpoints from js code and url() properties
  • small (below 1500 SLOC), idiomatic, 100% test covered codebase
  • grabs most of useful resources urls (pics, videos, audios, forms, etc...)
  • found urls are streamed to stdout and guranteed to be unique (with fragments omitted)
  • scan depth (limited by starting host and path, by default - 0) can be configured
  • can be polite - crawl rules and sitemaps from robots.txt
  • brute mode - scan html comments for urls (this can lead to bogus results)
  • make use of HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY environment values + handles proxy auth (use HTTP_PROXY="socks5://127.0.0.1:1080/" crawley for socks5)
  • directory-only scan mode (aka fast-scan)
  • user-defined cookies, in curl-compatible format (i.e. -cookie "ONE=1; TWO=2" -cookie "ITS=ME" -cookie @cookie-file)
  • user-defined headers, same as curl: -header "ONE: 1" -header "TWO: 2" -header @headers-file
  • tag filter - allow to specify tags to crawl for (single: -tag a -tag form, multiple: -tag a,form, or mixed)
  • url ignore - allow to ignore urls with matched substrings from crawling (i.e.: -ignore logout)

examples

# print all links from first page:
crawley http://some-test.site

# print all js files and api endpoints:
crawley -depth -1 -tag script -js http://some-test.site

# print all endpoints from js:
crawley -js http://some-test.site/app.js

# download all png images from site:
crawley -depth -1 -tag img http://some-test.site | grep '\.png$' | wget -i -

# fast directory traversal:
crawley -headless -delay 0 -depth -1 -dirs only http://some-test.site

installation
