Deep Web Crawler for Data Enrichment

Deeper, a data enrichment system through progressive deep web crawling.

Travis David

Deeperlib is a library for data enrichment with web data. Given a local data table, it is able to efficiently find the matching records in a deep website through keyword search interface API, so that the returned data can be used to enrich the local data.

APIs Supportted

The current version implemented API for the following websites as examples:

  • DBLP(DataBase systems and Logic Programming)
  • YELP(Yelp Fusion API)
  • AMiner(arnetminer)

Custom

You can also implement other APIs based on your needs by implementing a subclass of deeper.api.simapi and pass it to deeper.core.smartcrawl.
