brozzler
========
"browser" | "crawler" = "brozzler"

Brozzler is a distributed web crawler that uses a real browser (chrome or
chromium) to fetch pages and embedded urls and to extract links. It also
uses [youtube-dl](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl) to enhance media capture
capabilities.

It is forked from https://github.com/internetarchive/umbra.

Brozzler is designed to work in conjunction with
[warcprox](https://github.com/internetarchive/warcprox) for web archiving.

Installation
------------
```
git clone https://github.com/nlevitt/brozzler
cd brozzler
# set up virtualenv if desired
pip install -r requirements.txt .
```
Brozzler also requires a rabbitmq server.
