Written for developers, researchers, technical assistants,
librarians, and power users, Spidering
Hacks provides expert tips on spidering and
scraping methodologies. You'll begin with a crash course in
spidering concepts, tools (Perl, LWP, out-of-the-box
utilities), and ethics (how to know when you've gone too
far: what's acceptable and unacceptable). Next, you'll
collect media files and data from databases. Then you'll
learn how to interpret and understand the data, repurpose it
for use in other applications, and even build authorized
interfaces to integrate the data into your own content. |
