# go-extractor Developer Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Overview
|
||||
|
||||
**Repository:** gitea.stevedudenhoeffer.com/steve/go-extractor
|
||||
**Language:** Go 1.24
|
||||
**Primary Dependencies:**
|
||||
- `github.com/playwright-community/playwright-go` - Browser automation
|
||||
- `github.com/go-shiori/go-readability` - Article content extraction
|
||||
- `github.com/urfave/cli/v3` - CLI framework (cmd tools only)
|
||||
- `golang.org/x/text` - Currency formatting (megamillions)
|
||||
|
||||
go-extractor is a browser-based web scraping library. It wraps Playwright to provide a clean Go API for opening pages, selecting DOM elements, extracting content, and interacting with pages.
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Types
|
||||
|
||||
| File | Type | Purpose |
|
||||
|------|------|---------|
|
||||
| `browser.go` | `Browser` interface | Opens pages, manages browser lifecycle |
|
||||
| `document.go` | `Document` interface | Represents an open page (URL, content, refresh, wait) |
|
||||
| `node.go` | `Node` interface | DOM element operations (select, click, type, text, attr) |
|
||||
| `nodes.go` | `Nodes` type | Collection of Nodes with bulk operations |
|
||||
| `article.go` | `Article` struct | Readability extraction result |
|
||||
| `cookiejar.go` | `CookieJar` interface | Cookie storage abstraction |
|
||||
| `interactive.go` | `InteractiveBrowser` interface | Low-level mouse/keyboard/screenshot control |
|
||||
|
||||
### Implementation Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
NewBrowser(ctx, opts)
|
||||
└─> initBrowser(opts) # browser_init.go
|
||||
├─> playwright.Run() # start Playwright
|
||||
├─> bt.Connect() or Launch # remote or local browser
|
||||
├─> browser.NewContext() # with UA, viewport, cookies
|
||||
└─> return browserInitResult
|
||||
|
||||
Browser.Open(ctx, url, opts)
|
||||
└─> openPage() # playwright.go - creates page, navigates
|
||||
└─> updateCookies() # sync cookies back to jar
|
||||
└─> newDocument() # document.go - wraps page as Document
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Site Extractors
|
||||
|
||||
Each site extractor in `sites/` follows the same pattern:
|
||||
1. `Config` struct with site-specific options and `validate()` method
|
||||
2. `DefaultConfig` package-level variable
|
||||
3. Methods on Config that take `(ctx, Browser)` and return parsed data
|
||||
4. A `cmd/` subdirectory with a CLI tool using `urfave/cli`
|
||||
|
||||
## Development Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
### Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
- Always check and propagate errors with `fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err)`
|
||||
- Never discard errors with `_ =` unless explicitly intended (like `DeferClose`)
|
||||
- Check for nil before calling methods on `SelectFirst()` results — it returns nil if no element matches
|
||||
- Move `defer DeferClose(x)` after the error check, not before
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing
|
||||
|
||||
- Core types have unit tests using mock implementations in `mock_test.go` and `nodes_test.go`
|
||||
- `mockDocument` and `mockNode` implement the interfaces without Playwright
|
||||
- Site extractors currently lack mock-based tests — they need HTML fixtures
|
||||
- Run tests: `go test ./...`
|
||||
- Tests that need a browser should use build tags or skip when Playwright is unavailable
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding a New Site Extractor
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create `sites/mysite/mysite.go`:
|
||||
```go
|
||||
package mysite
|
||||
|
||||
type Config struct{}
|
||||
var DefaultConfig = Config{}
|
||||
|
||||
func (c Config) validate() Config { return c }
|
||||
|
||||
func (c Config) Extract(ctx context.Context, b extractor.Browser) (Result, error) {
|
||||
doc, err := b.Open(ctx, "https://mysite.com", extractor.OpenPageOptions{})
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
return Result{}, fmt.Errorf("failed to open page: %w", err)
|
||||
}
|
||||
defer extractor.DeferClose(doc)
|
||||
// ... extract data using doc.Select(), doc.ForEach(), etc.
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Create `sites/mysite/cmd/mysite/main.go` with a CLI wrapper
|
||||
3. Add tests in `sites/mysite/mysite_test.go`
|
||||
|
||||
### Browser Options
|
||||
|
||||
When creating browsers, understand the option merging behavior:
|
||||
- `mergeOptions()` in `browser_init.go` merges variadic `BrowserOptions`
|
||||
- String/pointer fields: only overwritten if non-zero
|
||||
- Boolean fields: `RequireServer` and `UseLocalOnly` are one-way (only set to true); `ShowBrowser` always overwrites (known issue #16)
|
||||
|
||||
### Playwright Server
|
||||
|
||||
The library supports connecting to a remote Playwright server:
|
||||
- Environment variables: `PLAYWRIGHT_SERVER_ADDRESS_FIREFOX`, `PLAYWRIGHT_SERVER_ADDRESS_CHROMIUM`, `PLAYWRIGHT_SERVER_ADDRESS_WEBKIT`
|
||||
- `BrowserOptions.ServerAddress` overrides the env var
|
||||
- `RequireServer: true` prevents fallback to local browser
|
||||
- `UseLocalOnly: true` skips server connection entirely
|
||||
|
||||
### DOM Interaction
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `Node` interface for all DOM operations:
|
||||
- `Select(selector)` returns `Nodes` (may be empty, never nil panic)
|
||||
- `SelectFirst(selector)` returns `Node` or **nil** — always nil-check before use
|
||||
- `ForEach(selector, fn)` iterates over matching elements
|
||||
- `SetAttribute(name, value)` uses JavaScript evaluation — be aware of escaping limitations (see #12)
|
||||
|
||||
## Building
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
go build ./...
|
||||
go test ./...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
CLI tools:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
go build ./cmd/browser
|
||||
go build ./sites/duckduckgo/cmd/duckduckgo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Issue Labels
|
||||
|
||||
### Priority Labels
|
||||
|
||||
| Label | Color | Usage |
|
||||
|-------|-------|-------|
|
||||
| `priority/critical` | `#B60205` | Showstopper — security vulnerability, data loss, or crash |
|
||||
| `priority/high` | `#D93F0B` | Important — significant bug or high-value improvement |
|
||||
| `priority/medium` | `#FBCA04` | Normal — standard improvement or non-critical bug |
|
||||
| `priority/low` | `#0E8A16` | Nice to have — minor improvement or cleanup |
|
||||
|
||||
### Type Labels
|
||||
|
||||
| Label | Color | Usage |
|
||||
|-------|-------|-------|
|
||||
| `type/epic` | `#5319E7` | Parent issue grouping related stories/tasks |
|
||||
| `type/task` | `#0075CA` | Concrete implementation work item |
|
||||
| `type/refactor` | `#D4C5F9` | Code restructuring without behavior change |
|
||||
|
||||
### Category Labels

|
||||
|
||||
### Hierarchy
|
||||
|
||||
- **Epics** (`type/epic`) group related issues. Reference the parent epic with `**Parent:** #N` in sub-task descriptions.
|
||||
- **Tasks** (`type/task`) are concrete work items, usually children of an epic.
|
||||
- An issue should have exactly one `priority/*` label and one type/category label.

|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
go get gitea.stevedudenhoeffer.com/steve/go-extractor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Playwright browsers must be installed:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
go run github.com/playwright-community/playwright-go/cmd/playwright install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### Extract article content from a URL
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
package main
|
||||
|
||||
import (
|
||||
"context"
|
||||
"fmt"
|
||||
"log"
|
||||
|
||||
extractor "gitea.stevedudenhoeffer.com/steve/go-extractor"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
ctx := context.Background()
|
||||
|
||||
browser, err := extractor.NewBrowser(ctx)
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
log.Fatal(err)
|
||||
}
|
||||
defer browser.Close()
|
||||
|
||||
doc, err := browser.Open(ctx, "https://example.com/article", extractor.OpenPageOptions{})
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
log.Fatal(err)
|
||||
}
|
||||
defer doc.Close()
|
||||
|
||||
article, err := extractor.Readability(ctx, doc)
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
log.Fatal(err)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
fmt.Println("Title:", article.Title)
|
||||
fmt.Println("Content:", article.TextContent)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Take a screenshot
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
data, err := extractor.Screenshot(ctx, "https://example.com", 30*time.Second)
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
log.Fatal(err)
|
||||
}
|
||||
os.WriteFile("screenshot.png", data, 0644)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Search DuckDuckGo
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
import "gitea.stevedudenhoeffer.com/steve/go-extractor/sites/duckduckgo"
|
||||
|
||||
results, err := duckduckgo.DefaultConfig.Search(ctx, browser, "golang web scraping")
|
||||
for _, r := range results {
|
||||
fmt.Printf("%s - %s\n", r.Title, r.URL)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Use with Playwright server
|
||||
|
||||
Set environment variables to connect to a remote Playwright instance:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export PLAYWRIGHT_SERVER_ADDRESS_FIREFOX=ws://playwright-server:3000
|
||||
export PLAYWRIGHT_SERVER_ADDRESS_CHROMIUM=ws://playwright-server:3001
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or pass the address directly:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
browser, err := extractor.NewBrowser(ctx, extractor.BrowserOptions{
|
||||
ServerAddress: "ws://playwright-server:3000",
|
||||
RequireServer: true, // fail instead of falling back to local
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Browser Options
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
extractor.BrowserOptions{
|
||||
UserAgent: "custom-agent", // defaults to a recent Firefox UA
|
||||
Browser: extractor.BrowserFirefox, // or BrowserChromium, BrowserWebKit
|
||||
Timeout: &timeout, // default 30s, 0 for no timeout
|
||||
CookieJar: jar, // load/save cookies automatically
|
||||
ShowBrowser: true, // show browser window (non-headless)
|
||||
Dimensions: extractor.Size{1280, 720},
|
||||
DarkMode: true,
|
||||
ServerAddress: "ws://...", // remote Playwright server
|
||||
RequireServer: true, // don't fall back to local browser
|
||||
UseLocalOnly: true, // don't try remote server
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## DOM Interaction
|
||||
|
||||
Documents and Nodes expose CSS selector-based DOM manipulation:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Select elements
|
||||
nodes := doc.Select("div.results a")
|
||||
first := doc.SelectFirst("h1")
|
||||
|
||||
// Extract text
|
||||
text, err := first.Text()
|
||||
content, err := first.Content()
|
||||
href, err := first.Attr("href")
|
||||
|
||||
// Interact
|
||||
err = first.Click()
|
||||
err = first.Type("hello world")
|
||||
|
||||
// Iterate
|
||||
err = doc.ForEach("li.item", func(n extractor.Node) error {
|
||||
text, _ := n.Text()
|
||||
fmt.Println(text)
|
||||
return nil
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Modify
|
||||
err = first.SetHidden(true)
|
||||
err = first.SetAttribute("data-processed", "true")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Cookie Management
|
||||
|
||||
Load cookies from a Netscape `cookies.txt` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
jar, err := extractor.LoadCookiesFile("cookies.txt")
|
||||
browser, err := extractor.NewBrowser(ctx, extractor.BrowserOptions{
|
||||
CookieJar: jar,
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use a read-only cookie jar (cookies are loaded but changes aren't saved back):
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
roJar := extractor.ReadOnlyCookieJar{Jar: jar}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Interactive Browser
|
||||
|
||||
For remote browser control with mouse/keyboard:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
ib, err := extractor.NewInteractiveBrowser(ctx)
|
||||
defer ib.Close()
|
||||
|
||||
url, err := ib.Navigate("https://example.com")
|
||||
err = ib.MouseClick(100, 200, "left")
|
||||
err = ib.KeyboardType("search query")
|
||||
err = ib.KeyboardPress("Enter")
|
||||
screenshot, err := ib.Screenshot(80) // JPEG quality 0-100
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Command-Line Tools
|
||||
|
||||
The `cmd/` and `sites/*/cmd/` directories contain CLI tools:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Extract article from URL
|
||||
go run ./cmd/browser https://example.com/article
|
||||
|
||||
# Search DuckDuckGo
|
||||
go run ./sites/duckduckgo/cmd/duckduckgo "golang tutorial"
|
||||
|
||||
# Search Google
|
||||
go run ./sites/google/cmd/google "golang tutorial"
|
||||
|
||||
# Get Powerball results
|
||||
go run ./sites/powerball/cmd/powerball
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
go run ./sites/useragents/cmd/useragents
|
||||
```
