Detailed Overview

Product Description

DataScrapexter is a modular, scalable web scraping solution built on Go 1.21+, designed to handle diverse websites—from static HTML to JavaScript-heavy single-page applications (SPAs)—while evading advanced anti-scraping protections. It combines configuration-driven operation (via YAML/JSON with Viper) with sophisticated anti-detection mechanisms (chromedp, Rod, 2Captcha) and a robust data processing pipeline (GORM, Kafka). The platform supports multi-format outputs (JSON, CSV, Excel, databases) and integrates with cloud services (AWS, Google Cloud) for storage and analytics, ensuring compliance with GDPR/CCPA through built-in features like robots.txt respect and audit logging.

Package Details

1. Basic Package (MVP, v0.1.0)

Target Audience: Hobbyists, individual developers, small startups, and data analysts.

Key Features:

• Core Scraping: HTTP client (net/http) with Goquery for CSS selector-based data extraction.
• Anti-Detection: Basic User-Agent rotation (50+ browser signatures), fixed rate limiting (1-5 second delays), and manual HTTP proxy support.
• Configuration: YAML-based site definitions managed by Viper.
• Output: Exports data to JSON and CSV formats.
• CLI: Cobra-based command-line interface for user-friendly operation.
• Logging: Structured logging with logrus for debugging and monitoring.

Use Case Example: A freelance data analyst needs to extract product listings from 10 static e-commerce sites for market research. They create a YAML configuration to target product titles and prices:

name: "ecommerce_site"
base_url: "https://example-shop.com"
fields:
  - name: "title"
    selector: "h2.product-title"
    type: "text"
  - name: "price"
    selector: ".price"
    type: "text"
rate_limit: 2s

CLI Example:

# Run the scraper with the configuration file
datascrapexter scrape --config configs/ecommerce_site.yaml --output products.json

# View help for the scrape command
datascrapexter scrape --help

# Output:
# Usage:
#   datascrapexter scrape [flags]
# Flags:
#   -c, --config string   Path to the configuration file (required)
#   -o, --output string   Output file path (JSON or CSV)
#   -h, --help            Help for scrape

The scraper processes 100+ pages reliably, exporting clean JSON data to products.json for analysis in tools like Python or Excel.

Limitations:

• No JavaScript rendering support.
• Manual proxy configuration required.
• Limited error recovery mechanisms.
• No distributed processing capabilities.

Success Metrics:

• Successfully scrape 10+ static websites.
• Process 100+ pages without errors.
• Achieve community adoption (target: 1,000+ GitHub stars).

2. Standard Package (v0.5.0)

Target Audience: Small to medium businesses, SaaS startups, and professional data teams.

Key Features (extends Basic):

• JavaScript Rendering: chromedp integration for handling React, Vue, Angular sites, AJAX requests, and infinite scroll.
• Advanced Anti-Detection: Automatic proxy rotation with health monitoring, basic browser fingerprint randomization, and CAPTCHA detection with manual intervention alerts.
• Data Processing: Text cleaning, field validation, deduplication, and database support (SQLite, PostgreSQL).
• Configuration: Reusable template system, environment variable-based secret management, and hot reloading for configuration updates without restarts.
• Browser Pool: Managed Chrome instances for concurrent scraping tasks.

Use Case Example: A SaaS company monitors competitor pricing on a JavaScript-heavy e-commerce platform. They use a headless browser to render dynamic content:

name: "competitor_site"
base_url: "https://competitor.com"
browser:
  enabled: true
  headless: true
  timeout: 30s
fields:
  - name: "product"
    selector: ".product-name"
    type: "text"
  - name: "price"
    selector: ".dynamic-price"
    type: "float"
proxy:
  enabled: true
  rotation_strategy: "random"

CLI Example:

# Run the scraper with proxy rotation and database output
datascrapexter scrape --config configs/competitor_site.yaml --output postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/dbname --proxy-list proxies.txt

# Check scraper status
datascrapexter status --job-id competitor_site_20250624

# Output:
# Job ID: competitor_site_20250624
# Status: Running
# Pages Processed: 750/1000
# Errors: 2 (retrying)
# Estimated Completion: 10m remaining

The scraper handles 1,000+ pages, rotates proxies automatically, and stores validated data in PostgreSQL for integration with real-time pricing dashboards.

Success Metrics:

• Scrape 1,000+ dynamic pages reliably.
• Support integration with 5+ proxy providers.
• Attract 500+ active users and initial paying customers.

Limitations:

• Requires manual CAPTCHA solving.
• Limited scalability for massive datasets.
• Lacks enterprise-grade monitoring and analytics.

3. Premium Package (v1.0.0)

Target Audience: Professional services, mid-size companies, and enterprises.

Key Features (extends Standard):

• Advanced Anti-Detection: Integration with 2Captcha/Anti-Captcha for automated CAPTCHA solving, canvas/WebGL spoofing, human-like behavior simulation (mouse movements, typing patterns), and TLS fingerprinting (JA3/JA4 randomization).
• Monitoring & Observability: Prometheus metrics collection, pprof performance profiling, real-time health monitoring, and detailed error analytics.
• Scalability: Distributed processing with Redis coordination, configurable worker pools, priority-based task scheduling, and auto-scaling capabilities.
• Enterprise Features: Web-based dashboard for configuration and monitoring, RESTful API for programmatic control, role-based access control (RBAC), and comprehensive audit logging.
• Proxy Support: Premium residential proxy integrations (e.g., Bright Data, Oxylabs) for geo-targeted scraping.

Use Case Example: A market research firm extracts 10,000+ pages hourly from news websites protected by advanced anti-bot systems. They use stealth browsers and residential proxies:

type ProductionScraper struct {
    Engine    *ScrapingEngine
    Monitor   *MonitoringSystem
    Scheduler *TaskScheduler
}

CLI Example:

# Start a distributed scraping job with monitoring
datascrapexter scrape --config configs/news_site.yaml --output kafka://localhost:9092/news-topic --workers 10 --monitor prometheus://localhost:9090

# View real-time metrics
datascrapexter metrics --job-id news_site_20250624

# Output:
# Job ID: news_site_20250624
# Pages/Second: 278
# Success Rate: 96.5%
# Active Workers: 10
# Memory Usage: 412MB
# Alerts: None

The web dashboard provides real-time success rate monitoring (95%+), while Prometheus dashboards identify performance bottlenecks, ensuring configuration updates in under 5 seconds. Data is streamed to Kafka for downstream analytics.

• Intelligent Anti-Detection: ML-driven human behavior simulation, adaptive timing adjustments, and real-time anomaly detection to avoid bot traps.
• Advanced Analytics: Predictive analytics for scraping success, AI-driven performance tuning recommendations, cost optimization for proxy and resource usage, and trend analysis.
• Scalability: Kubernetes-based auto-scaling, multi-node coordination with Redis Streams, and priority-based task queues.

Use Case Example: A global retailer extracts product reviews from 100+ e-commerce platforms with frequent layout changes. The Advanced package leverages AI to auto-generate extraction rules:

type AIEnhancedScraper struct {
    MLEngine   *MachineLearningEngine
    Classifier *ContentClassifier
}

CLI Example:

# Run an AI-enhanced scraping job with adaptive rules
datascrapexter scrape --config configs/reviews.yaml --output bigquery://project:dataset.reviews --ai-adapt --workers 20
