extruct
extruct is a library for extracting embedded metadata from HTML markup.
Currently, extruct supports:
- W3C's HTML Microdata
- embedded JSON-LD
- Microformat via mf2py
- Facebook's Open Graph
- (experimental) RDFa via rdflib
- Dublin Core Metadata (DC-HTML-2003)
The microdata algorithm is a revisit of this Scrapinghub blog post showing how to use EXSLT extensions.
Installation
pip install extruct
Usage
All-in-one extraction
The simplest example how to use extruct is to call extruct.extract(htmlstring, base_url=base_url) with some HTML string and an optional base URL.
Let's try this on a webpage that uses all the syntaxes supported (RDFa with ogp).
First fetch the HTML using python-requests and then feed the response body to extruct:
>>> import extruct
>>> import requests
>>> import pprint
>>> from w3lib.html import get_base_url
>>>
>>> pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=2)
>>> r = requests.get('https://www.optimizesmart.com/how-to-use-open-graph-protocol/')
>>> base_url = get_base_url(r.text, r.url)
>>> data = extruct.extract(r.text, base_url=base_url)
>>>
>>> pp.pprint(data)

Select syntaxes
It is possible to select which syntaxes to extract by passing a list with the desired ones to extract. Valid values: 'microdata', 'json-ld', 'opengraph', 'microformat', 'rdfa' and 'dublincore'. If no list is passed all syntaxes will be extracted and returned:
>>> r = requests.get('http://www.songkick.com/artists/236156-elysian-fields')
>>> base_url = get_base_url(r.text, r.url)
>>> data = extruct.extract(r.text, base_url, syntaxes=['microdata', 'opengraph', 'rdfa'])
>>>
>>> pp.pprint(data)
{ 'microdata': [],
'opengraph': [ { 'namespace': { 'concerts': 'http://ogp.me/ns/fb/songkick-concerts#',

'http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbmlapp_id': [ { '@value': '308540029359'}]}]}
Uniform
Another option is to uniform the output of microformat, opengraph, microdata, dublincore and json-ld syntaxes to the following structure:
{'@context': 'http://example.com',
'@type': 'example_type',
/* All other the properties in keys here */
}
To do so set uniform=True when calling extract, it's false by default for backward compatibility. Here the same example as before but with uniform set to True:
>>> r = requests.get('http://www.songkick.com/artists/236156-elysian-fields')
>>> base_url = get_base_url(r.text, r.url)
>>> data = extruct.extract(r.text, base_url, syntaxes=['microdata', 'opengraph', 'rdfa'], uniform=True)
>>>
>>> pp.pprint(data)
{ 'microdata': [],
'opengraph': [ { '@context': { 'concerts': 'http://ogp.me/ns/fb/songkick-concerts#',
'fb': 'http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml',
'og': 'http://ogp.me/ns#'},

'al:ios:url': [ { '@value': 'songkick://artists/236156-elysian-fields'}],
'http://ogp.me/ns#description': [ { '@value': 'Find out when '
'Elysian Fields is '
'next playing live '

'http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbmlapp_id': [ { '@value': '308540029359'}]}]}
NB rdfa structure is not uniformed yet
Returning HTML node
It is also possible to get references to HTML node for every extracted metadata item. The feature is supported only by microdata syntax.
To use that, just set the return_html_node option of extract method to True. As the result, an additional key "nodeHtml" will be included in the result for every item. Each node is of lxml.etree.Element type:
>>> r = requests.get('http://www.rugpadcorner.com/shop/no-muv/')
>>> base_url = get_base_url(r.text, r.url)
>>> data = extruct.extract(r.text, base_url, syntaxes=['microdata'], return_html_node=True)
>>>
>>> pp.pprint(data)
{ 'microdata': [ { 'htmlNode': <Element div at 0x7f10f8e6d3b8>,
'properties': { 'description': 'KEEP RUGS FLAT ON CARPET!\n'
'Not your thin sticky pad, '
'No-Muv is truly the best!',
'image': ['', ''],
'name': ['No-Muv', 'No-Muv'],
'offers': [ { 'htmlNode': <Element div at 0x7f10f8e6d138>,
'properties': { 'availability': 'http://schema.org/InStock',
'price': 'Price: '
'$45'},
'type': 'http://schema.org/Offer'},
{ 'htmlNode': <Element div at 0x7f10f8e60f48>,
'properties': { 'availability': 'http://schema.org/InStock',
'price': '(Select '
'Size/Shape '
'for '
'Pricing)'},
'type': 'http://schema.org/Offer'}],
'ratingValue': ['5.00', '5.00']},
'type': 'http://schema.org/Product'}]}
Single extractors
You can also use each extractor individually. See below.

Command Line Tool
extruct provides a command line tool that allows you to fetch a page and extract the metadata from it directly from the command line.
Dependencies
The command line tool depends on requests, which is not installed by default when you install extruct. In order to use the command line tool, you can install extruct with the cli extra requirements:
pip install extruct[cli]
Usage
extruct "http://example.com"
Downloads "http://example.com" and outputs the Microdata, JSON-LD and RDFa, Open Graph and Microformat metadata to stdout.
Supported Parameters
By default, the command line tool will try to extract all the supported metadata formats from the page (currently Microdata, JSON-LD, RDFa, Open Graph and Microformat). If you want to restrict the output to just one or a subset of those, you can pass their individual names collected in a list through 'syntaxes' argument.
For example, this command extracts only Microdata and JSON-LD metadata from "http://example.com":
extruct "http://example.com" --syntaxes microdata json-ld
NB syntaxes names passed must correspond to these: microdata, json-ld, rdfa, opengraph, microformat
Development version
mkvirtualenv extruct pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
