===============

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

Brozzler is a distributed web crawler (爬虫) 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
------------

::

    # set up virtualenv if desired
    pip install brozzler

Brozzler also requires a rethinkdb deployment.
