SCREENSHOTS:
grab-site
DESCRIPTION:
grab-site is an open source web crawling tool designed to archive and back up websites by recursively downloading their content. It works by taking a starting URL and systematically following links across the site, capturing pages and resources and saving them into WARC archive files for long-term preservation. Internally, the crawler uses a fork of the wpull engine to fetch and process web pages efficiently during large-scale crawls. grab-site includes a built-in dashboard that displays real-time crawl activity, including which URLs are currently being processed and how many remain in the queue. Users can dynamically apply ignore patterns during an active crawl, allowing them to skip problematic or unnecessary URLs that could slow down or block the archiving process. grab-site also provides predefined ignore sets for common site structures such as forums and other complex web platforms. Additional mechanisms like duplicate page detection help avoid re-crawling identical content.
