Contents 1 Scrapy Cluster Documentation, Release 1.3 2 Contents CHAPTER 1 Introduction This set of documentation serves to give an introduction to Scrapy Cluster, including goals, architecture designs, and how to get started using the cluster. 1.1 Overview This Scrapy project uses Redis and Kafka to create a distributed on demand scraping cluster. The goal is to distribute seed URLs among many waiting spider instances, whose requests are coordinated via Redis. Any other crawls those trigger, as a result of frontier expansion or depth traversal, will also be distributed among all workers in the cluster. The input to the system is a set of Kafka topics and the output is a set of Kafka topics. Raw HTML and assets are crawled interactively, spidered, and output to the log. For easy local development, you can also disable the Kafka portions and work with the spider entirely via Redis, although this is not recommended due to the serialization of the crawl requests. 1.1.1 Dependencies Please see the requirements.txt within each sub project for Pip package dependencies. Other important components required to run the cluster • Python 2.7 or 3.6: https://www.python.org/downloads/ • Redis: http://redis.io • Zookeeper: https://zookeeper.apache.org • Kafka: http://kafka.apache.org 3 Scrapy Cluster Documentation, Release 1.3 1.1.2 Core Concepts This project tries to bring together a bunch of new concepts to Scrapy and large scale distributed crawling in general. Some bullet points include: • The spiders are dynamic and on demand, meaning that they allow the arbitrary collection of any web page that is submitted to the scraping cluster • Scale Scrapy instances across a single machine or multiple machines • Coordinate and prioritize their scraping effort for desired sites • Persist data across scraping jobs • Execute multiple scraping jobs concurrently • Allows for in depth access into the information about your scraping job, what is upcoming, and how the sites are ranked • Allows you to arbitrarily add/remove/scale your scrapers from the pool without loss of data or downtime • Utilizes Apache Kafka as a data bus for any application to interact with the scraping cluster (submit jobs, get info, stop jobs, view results) • Allows for coordinated throttling of crawls from independent spiders on separate machines, but behind the same IP Address 1.1.3 Architecture 4 Chapter 1. Introduction Scrapy Cluster Documentation, Release 1.3 At the highest level, Scrapy Cluster operates on a single input Kafka topic, and two separate output Kafka topics. All incoming requests to the cluster go through the demo.incoming kafka topic, and depending on what the request is will generate output from either the demo.outbound_firehose topic for action requests or demo. crawled_firehose topics for html crawl requests. Each of the three core pieces are extendable in order add or enhance their functionality. Both the Kafka Monitor and Redis Monitor use ‘Plugins’ in order to enhance their abilities, whereas Scrapy uses ‘Middlewares’, ‘Pipelines’, and ‘Spiders’ to allow you to customize your crawling. Together these three components and the Rest service allow for scaled and distributed crawling across many machines. 1.2 Quick Start This guide does not go into detail as to how everything works but it will hopefully get you scraping quickly. For more information about how each process works please see the rest of the documentation. 1.2.1 Setup There are several options available to set up Scrapy Cluster. You can choose to provision with the Docker Quickstart, or manually configure it via the Cluster Quickstart yourself. Docker Quickstart The Docker Quickstart will help you spin up a complete standalone cluster thanks to Docker and Docker Compose. All individual components will run in standard docker containers, and be controlled through the docker-compose command line interface. 1) Ensure you have Docker Engine and Docker Compose installed on your machine. For more installation infor- mation please refer to Docker’s official documentation. 2) Download and unzip the latest release here. Let’s assume our project is now in ~/scrapy-cluster 3) Run docker compose $ docker-compose up -d This will pull the latest stable images from Docker hub and build your scraping cluster. At the time of writing, there is no Docker container to interface and run all of the tests within your compose-based cluster. Instead, if you wish to run the unit and integration tests please see the following steps. Note: If you want to switch to python3, just modify docker-compose.yml to change kafka_monitor, re- dis_monitor, crawler and rest image to python3’s tag like kafka-monitor-dev-py3. You can find all available tag in DockerHub Tags 4) To run the integration tests, get into the bash shell on any of the containers. Kafka monitor $ docker exec -it scrapy-cluster_kafka_monitor_1 bash Redis monitor 1.2. Quick Start 5 Scrapy Cluster Documentation, Release 1.3 $ docker exec -it scrapy-cluster_redis_monitor_1

The data is used for the II. EXISTING WEB SCRAPING TECHNIQUES extraction of knowledge by performing machine leaning analysis. Typically, web scraping applications imitate a regular web In order to perform data mining of the web-information, the data user. They follow the links and search for the information should be extracted from the source and placed on analytical storage. This is the ETL-process. Different web-sources have they need. The classic web scraper can be classified into two different ways to access their data: either API over HTTP protocol types: web-crawlers and data extractors “Fig. 1”. or HTML source code parsing. The article is devoted to the approach of high-performance data extraction from sources that do not provide an API to access the data. Distinctive features of the proposed approach are: load balancing, two levels of data storage, and separating the process of downloading files from the process of scraping. The approach is implemented in the solution with the following technologies: Docker, Kubernetes, Scrapy, Python, MongoDB, Redis Cluster, and СephFS.

  • Visualizing and Forecasting the Cryptocurrency Ecosystem
    Visualizing and Forecasting the Cryptocurrency Ecosystem Shawn Anderson, Ka Hang Jacky Lok, Vijayavimohitha Sridhar 1 Motivation and Background Cryptocurrencies are programmable digital assets which can be traded on an open market. The first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, created in 2009, has a market capital of more then 140 billion dollars. In the past 10 years, the price of Bitcoin has grown 80,000 times. No one could have imagined this upsurge in cryptocurrency value. Some news has defined cryptocurrency as a fraud or bubble while others think that it can revolutionize the way humans interact with money. Popular opinion of Bitcoin is rich with mysticism. Everyone in the world is amazed by the surging high price of Bitcoin. People such as students, hackers, investors, banks, and government are all staring it and trying to make something out of it. Related Work In Evolutionary dynamics of the cryptocurrency market, EIBahrawy Et al. explore the birth and death rate of new cryptocurren- cies, comparing them to that of animals in biological ecosystems. They find significant similarity in the mathematical modeling of biological ecosystems and cryptocurrency ecosystems.[1] In Deep Reinforcement Learning for Financial Portfolio Manage- ment, Jiang et. al. achieve highly rewarding results in implementing a reinforcement learning agent to manage a cryptocurrency portfolio in historical backtests. They pioneer the EIIE network topology to feed feed coin evaluations to a reinforcement learning agent which manages a portfolio. They are able to increase their principle investment 47X relative to the price of bitcoin in 50 days in one of their backtests [2]. In Predicting Cryptocurrency Prices With Deep Learning, Sheehan uses LSTM to model price movement of Bitcoin and Ethereum[3].

    RESEARCH ARTICLE A Web Scraping Methodology for Bypassing Twitter API Restrictions A. Hernandez-Suarez 1 ,G. Sanchez-Perez1, K. Toscano-Medina1, V. Martinez-Hernandez1, V. Sanchez2 and H. Perez-Meana 1 1 Instituto Politecnico Nacional, Graduate School ESIME Culhuacan; [email protected] 2 University of Warwick, Department of Computer Science, CV4 7AL, UK ; [email protected] ABSTRACT Retrieving information from social networks is the first and primordial step many data analysis fields such as Natural Language Processing, Sentiment Analysis and Machine Learning. Important data science tasks relay on historical data gathering for further predictive results. Most of the recent works use Twitter API, a public platform for collecting public streams of information, which allows querying chronological tweets for no more than three weeks old. In this paper, we present a new methodology for collecting historical tweets within any date range using web scraping techniques bypassing for Twitter API restrictions.
