## Screenshots

## Features

- Web scraping using Selenium or Playwright
- AI-powered data extraction and formatting
- Supports multiple output formats (JSON, Excel, CSV, Markdown)
- Customizable field extraction
- Token usage and cost estimation

## Known Issues
- Selenium silent mode on windows still shows message about websocket. There is no simple way to get rid of this.
- Providers other than OpenAI are hit-and-miss depending on provider / model / data being extracted.

## Installation

To install PAR Scrape, make sure you have Python 3.11 or higher and [uv](https://pypi.org/project/uv/) installed.

### Installation From Source

Then, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/paulrobello/par_scrape.git
   cd par_scrape
   ```

2. Install the package dependencies using uv:
   ```bash
   uv sync
   ```
### Installation From PyPI

To install PAR Scrape from PyPI, run any of the following commands:

```bash
uv tool install par-scrape
```

```bash
pipx install par-scrape
```
### Playwright Installation
To use playwright as a scraper, you must install it and its browsers using the following commands:

```bash
uv tool install playwright
playwright install chromium
```

## Usage

To use PAR Scrape, you can run it from the command line with various options. Here's a basic example:
Ensure you have the AI provider api key in your environment.
The key names for supported providers are as follows:
- OpenAI: `OPENAI_API_KEY`
- Anthropic: `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`
- Groq: `GROQ_API_KEY`
- Google: `GOOGLE_API_KEY`
- Ollama: `Not needed`

You can also store your key in the file `~/.par-scrape.env` as follows:
```
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key
GROQ_API_KEY=your_api_key
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_api_key
```

### Running from source
```bash
uv run par_scrape --url "https://openai.com/api/pricing/" --fields "Model" --fields "Pricing Input" --fields "Pricing Output" --scraper selenium --model gpt-4o-mini --display-output md
```

### Running if installed from PyPI
```bash
par_scrape --url "https://openai.com/api/pricing/" --fields "Title" "Number of Points" "Creator" "Time Posted" "Number of Comments" --scraper selenium --model gpt-4o-mini --display-output md
```

### Options

- `--url`, `-u`: The URL to scrape or path to a local file (default: "https://openai.com/api/pricing/")
- `--fields`, `-f`: Fields to extract from the webpage (default: ["Model", "Pricing Input", "Pricing Output"])
- `--scraper`, `-s`: Scraper to use: 'selenium' or 'playwright' (default: "selenium")
- `--headless`, `-h`: Run in headless mode (for Selenium) (default: False)
- `--sleep-time`, `-t`: Time to sleep (in seconds) before scrolling and closing browser (default: 5)
- `--pause`, `-p`: Wait for user input before closing browser (default: False)
- `--ai-provider`, `-a`: AI provider to use for processing (default: "OpenAI")
- `--model`, `-m`: AI model to use for processing. If not specified, a default model will be used based on the provider.
- `--display-output`, `-d`: Display output in terminal (md, csv, or json)
- `--output-folder`, `-o`: Specify the location of the output folder (default: "./output")
- `--silent`, `-q`: Run in silent mode, suppressing output (default: False)
- `--run-name`, `-n`: Specify a name for this run
- `--version`, `-v`: Show the version and exit
- `--pricing`: Enable pricing summary display (default: False)
- `--cleanup`, `-c`: How to handle cleanup of output folder (choices: none, before, after, both) (default: none)
- `--extraction-prompt`, `-e`: Path to alternate extraction prompt file
- `--ai-base-url`, `-b`: Override the base URL for the AI provider.

### Examples

1. Basic usage with default options:
```bash
par_scrape --url "https://openai.com/api/pricing/" -f "Model" -f "Pricing Input" -f "Pricing Output" --pricing
```
2. Using Playwright and displaying JSON output:
```bash
par_scrape --url "https://openai.com/api/pricing/" -f "Title" -f "Description" -f "Price" --scraper playwright -d json --pricing
```
3. Specifying a custom model and output folder:
```bash
par_scrape --url "https://openai.com/api/pricing/" -f "Title" -f "Description" -f "Price" --model gpt-4 --output-folder ./custom_output --pricing
```
4. Running in silent mode with a custom run name:
```bash
par_scrape --url "https://openai.com/api/pricing/" -f "Title" -f "Description" -f "Price" --silent --run-name my_custom_run --pricing
```
5. Using the cleanup option to remove the output folder after scraping:
```bash
par_scrape --url "https://openai.com/api/pricing/" -f "Title" -f "Description" -f "Price" --cleanup --pricing
```
6. Using the pause option to wait for user input before scrolling:
```bash
par_scrape --url "https://openai.com/api/pricing/" -f "Title" -f "Description" -f "Price" --pause --pricing
```
