python爬虫高级功能

上一篇文章中我们介绍了爬虫的实现，及爬虫爬取数据的功能，这里会遇到几个问题，比如网站中robots.txt文件，里面有禁止爬取的URL，还有爬虫是否支持代理功能，及有些网站对爬虫的风控措施，设计的爬虫下载限速功能。

1、解析robots.txt

首先，我们需要解析robots.txt文件，以避免下载禁止爬取的URL。适用Python自带的robotparser模块，就可以轻松的完成这项工作，如下面的代码。

robotparser模块首先加载robots.txt文件，然后通过can_fetch()函数确定指定的用户代理是否允许访问网页。

def get_robots(url):
    """Initialize robots parser for this domain
    """
    rp = robotparser.RobotFileParser()
    rp.set_url(urlparse.urljoin(url, ‘/robots.txt‘))
    rp.read()
    return rp

为了将该功能集成到爬虫中，我们需要在crawl循环中添加该检查。

while crawl_queue:
    url = crawl_queue.pop()
    # check url passes robots.txt restrictions
    if rp.can_fetch(user_agent,url):
        ...
    else：
        print ‘Blocked by robots.txt:‘,url

2、支持代理

有时我们需要使用代理访问某个网站。比如，Netflix屏蔽了美国以外的大多数国家。使用urllib2支持代理并没有想象的那么容易（可以尝试使用更友好的Python HTTP 模块requests来实现该功能）下面是使用urllib2支持代理的代码。

proxy = …

opener = urllib2.build_opener()

proxy_params = {urlparse.urlparse(url).scheme:proxy}

opener.add_header(urllib2.ProxyHandler(proxy_params))

response = opener.open(request)

下面是集成了该功能的新版本download函数。

def download(url, headers, proxy, num_retries, data=None):
    print ‘Downloading:‘, url
    request = urllib2.Request(url, data, headers)
    opener = urllib2.build_opener()
    if proxy:
        proxy_params = {urlparse.urlparse(url).scheme: proxy}
        opener.add_handler(urllib2.ProxyHandler(proxy_params))
    try:
        response = opener.open(request)
        html = response.read()
        code = response.code
    except urllib2.URLError as e:
        print ‘Download error:‘, e.reason
        html = ‘‘
        if hasattr(e, ‘code‘):
            code = e.code
            if num_retries > 0 and 500 <= code < 600:
                # retry 5XX HTTP errors
                html = download(url, headers, proxy, num_retries - 1, data)
        else:
            code = None
    return html

3、下载限速

如果我们爬取网站的速度过快，就会面临被封禁或是造成服务器过载的风险。为了降低这些风险，我们可以在两次下载之间添加延时，从而对爬虫限速。下面是实现了该功能的类的代码。

class Throttle:
    """Throttle downloading by sleeping between requests to same domain
    """
    def __init__(self, delay):
        # amount of delay between downloads for each domain
        self.delay = delay
        # timestamp of when a domain was last accessed
        self.domains = {}

    def wait(self, url):
        """Delay if have accessed this domain recently
        """
        domain = urlparse.urlsplit(url).netloc
        last_accessed = self.domains.get(domain)
        if self.delay > 0 and last_accessed is not None:
            sleep_secs = self.delay - (datetime.now() - last_accessed).seconds
            if sleep_secs > 0:
                time.sleep(sleep_secs)
        self.domains[domain] = datetime.now()

Throttle类记录了每个域名上次访问的时间，如果当前时间距离上次访问时间小于指定延时，则执行睡眠操作。我们可以在每次下载之前调用Throttle对爬虫进行限速。

4、避免爬虫陷阱

目前，我们的爬虫会跟踪所有之前没有访问过的链接。但是，一些网站会动态生成页面内容，这样就会出现无限多的网页。比如，网站有一个在线日历功能，提供了可以访问下一个月或下一年的链接，那么下个月的页面中同样会有访问再下个月的链接，这样页面就会无止境的链接下去。这种情况成为爬虫陷阱。

想要避免陷入爬虫陷阱，一个简单的方法是积累到达当前网页经过了多少个链接，也就是深度。当到达最大深度时，爬虫就不再向对列中添加该网页中的链接了。要实现这一功能，我们需要修改seen变量。该变量原先只记录访问过的网页链接，现在修改为一个字典，增加了页面深度的记录。

def link_crawler(…,max_length = 2):

max_length = 2

seen = {}

…

depth = seen[url]

if depth != max_depth:

for link in links:

if link not in seen:

seen[link] = depth + 1

crawl_queue.qppend(link)

现在有了这一功能，我们就有信心爬虫的最终一定能够完成。如果想要禁用该功能，只需要将max_depth设为一个负数即可，此时当前深度永远不会与之相等。
