spider-core

Core crawling engine for spider-lib: spider trait, crawler runtime, scheduler, builder, state, and stats.

Most users should start with spider-lib. Use spider-core directly when you want lower-level control over runtime composition.

Installation

[dependencies]
spider-core = "1.0.4"

Main Components

Spider: trait for crawl logic.
Crawler: runtime engine that drives requests and parsing.
CrawlerBuilder: runtime configuration and composition.
Scheduler: request queueing and dedup behavior.
CrawlerState: shared runtime state.
StatCollector: runtime statistics.

Minimal Usage

use spider_core::{async_trait, CrawlerBuilder, Spider};
use spider_util::{error::SpiderError, item::ParseOutput, response::Response};

#[spider_macro::scraped_item]
struct Item {
    title: String,
}

#[derive(Clone, Default)]
struct State;

struct MySpider;

#[async_trait]
impl Spider for MySpider {
    type Item = Item;
    type State = State;

    fn start_urls(&self) -> Vec<&'static str> {
        vec!["https://example.com"]
    }

    async fn parse(
        &self,
        _response: Response,
        _state: &Self::State,
    ) -> Result<ParseOutput<Self::Item>, SpiderError> {
        Ok(ParseOutput::new())
    }
}
