我需要一个强大的网络刮刀库来从网上挖掘内容。可以支付或免费两者对我来说都没问题。请建议我使用库或更好的方法来挖掘数据并存储在我的首选数据库中。我搜索过但我没有找到任何好的解决方案。我需要专家的好建议。请帮帮我。

刮刮很容易,你只需解析下载的内容并获取所有相关链接。

最重要的部分是处理HTML的部分。因为大多数浏览器不需要最干净(或符合标准)的HTML来呈现,所以你需要一个HTML解析器,它能够理解并不总是格式良好的HTML。

我建议您使用HTML Agility Pack来实现此目的。它非常适合处理非格式良好的HTML,并为您提供了一个简单的界面,您可以使用XPath查询在结果文档中获取节点。

除此之外,您只需选择一个数据存储来保存已处理的数据(您可以使用任何数据库技术)以及从Web下载内容的方法,.NET提供了两种高级机制, WebClientHttpWebRequest / HttpWebResponse类。

我的建议:

您可以浏览一下HTML Parser,然后使用它来解析来自网站的信息。 (如here)。然后,您需要做的就是将这些数据保存到数据库中,但是您认为合适。

我已经制作了几次自己的刮刀,它非常简单,允许您自定义保存的数据。

对于简单网站(仅限纯HTML),Mechanize工作得非常好,速度很快。对于使用Javascript,AJAX甚至Flash的网站,您需要一个真正的浏览器解决方案,例如iMacros。
