Spider Cloud Python SDK
The Spider Cloud Python SDK offers a toolkit for straightforward website scraping, crawling at scale, and other utilities like extracting links and taking screenshots, enabling you to collect data formatted for compatibility with language models (LLMs). It features a user-friendly interface for seamless integration with the Spider Cloud API.
Installation
To install the Spider Cloud Python SDK, you can use pip:
pip install spiderclient-py

Usage

Get an API key from spider.cloud
Set the API key as an environment variable named SPIDER_API_KEY or pass it as a parameter to the Spider class.

Here's an example of how to use the SDK:
from spider import Spider

# Initialize the Spider with your API key
app = Spider(api_key='your_api_key')

# Scrape a single URL
url = 'https://spider.cloud'
scraped_data = app.scrape_url(url)

# Crawl a website
crawler_params = {
'limit': 1,
'proxy_enabled': True,
'store_data': False,
'metadata': False,
'request': 'http'
}
crawl_result = app.crawl_url(url, params=crawler_params)

Scraping a URL
To scrape data from a single URL:
url = 'https://example.com'
scraped_data = app.scrape_url(url)

Crawling a Website
To automate crawling a website:
url = 'https://example.com'
crawl_params = {
'limit': 200,
'request': 'smart_mode'
}
crawl_result = app.crawl_url(url, params=crawl_params)

Retrieving Links from a URL(s)
Extract all links from a specified URL:
url = 'https://example.com'
links = app.links(url)

Taking Screenshots of a URL(s)
Capture a screenshot of a given URL:
url = 'https://example.com'
screenshot = app.screenshot(url)

Extracting Contact Information
Extract contact details from a specified URL:
url = 'https://example.com'
contacts = app.extract_contacts(url)

Labeling Data from a URL(s)
Label the data extracted from a particular URL:
url = 'https://example.com'
labeled_data = app.label(url)

Checking Available Credits
You can check the remaining credits on your account:
credits = app.get_credits()

Streaming
If you need to stream the request use the third param:
url = 'https://example.com'

crawler_params = {
'limit': 1,
'proxy_enabled': True,
'store_data': False,
'metadata': False,
'request': 'http'
}

links = app.links(url, crawler_params, True)

Content-Type
The following Content-type headers are supported using the fourth param:

application/json
text/csv
application/xml
application/jsonl

url = 'https://example.com'

crawler_params = {
'limit': 1,
'proxy_enabled': True,
'store_data': False,
'metadata': False,
'request': 'http'
}

# stream json lines back to the client
links = app.crawl(url, crawler_params, True, "application/jsonl")

Error Handling
The SDK handles errors returned by the Spider Cloud API and raises appropriate exceptions. If an error occurs during a request, an exception will be raised with a descriptive error message.
