Colly is a Go library that provides a clean, fast API for building web scrapers and crawlers. It supports synchronous, asynchronous, and parallel scraping with features like request throttling, caching, and robots.txt compliance.

Use cases

  • scrape product data from e‑commerce sites
  • crawl news articles for sentiment analysis
  • extract structured information from public directories
  • monitor price changes across multiple websites
  • collect data for research or market analysis
  • automate data collection for SEO audits

When to choose

  • You need a high‑performance scraper written in Go.
  • You require fine‑grained control over request concurrency and delays.
  • You want built‑in support for cookies, sessions, and robots.txt.
  • You plan to run distributed scraping jobs or integrate with Redis.

When to avoid

  • You prefer a no‑code or low‑code scraping solution.
  • Your project is in a language other than Go.
  • You need a visual UI for building scrapers.
  • You require advanced anti‑bot evasion features not provided out of the box.
