Alexander Sibiryakov - Frontera: open source large-scale web crawling framework [EuroPython 2015] [20 July 2015] [Bilbao, Euskadi, Spain] In this talk I'm going to introduce Scrapinghub's new open source framework [Frontera][1]. Frontera allows to build real-time distributed web crawlers and website focused ones. Offering: - customizable URL metadata storage (RDBMS or Key-Value based), - crawling strategies management, - transport layer abstraction. - fetcher abstraction. Along with framework description I'll demonstrate how to build a distributed crawler using [Scrapy][2], Kafka and HBase, and hopefully present some statistics of Spanish internet collected with newly built crawler. Happy EuroPythoning! [1]: https://github.com/scrapinghub/frontera [2]: http://scrapy.org/
