Whole-site crawler for www.achgut.com (Achse des Guten).
This is the exact script that produced the Hugging Face dataset
https://huggingface.co/datasets/SinclairSchneider/achgut_de — see that dataset card for a
step-by-step description of the pipeline.
Overview
--------
* 32 worker processes share the URL frontier; a URL is routed to a worker by
``int(md5(url).hexdigest(), 16) % 32`` so that no locking is required.
* The crawl is seeded with one article URL and discovers everything else by
following links below ``https://www.achgut.com/``.
* ``get_content()`` turns an article page into a record; pages with an empty
body are dropped. Each surviving article is written to
``pages/<flattened-url>.json``.
* Known and visited URLs are appended to ``data/thread_<id>_pages*.txt``, so an
interrupted crawl resumes where it left off. Create a file named
``killall.txt`` in the working directory to stop all workers cleanly.
Usage
-----
pip install mechanicalsoup beautifulsoup4 lxml python-dateutil fake-useragent free-proxy
python crawler.py
Configuration
-------------
Copy ``.env.example`` to ``.env`` and uncomment what you need - proxies, worker
count, timeout, retries and the seed URL are all read from there (environment
variables still win over the file). For a large proxy farm put one proxy per
line into a text file and point ``SCRAPER_PROXY_FILE`` at it; see
``proxies.example.txt``. The private proxy addresses used in the original crawl
have been removed from this published copy.
Please crawl responsibly: honour robots.txt and the site's terms of use, and
lower the worker count unless you have the operator's permission.
