DotnetSpider is a .NET Standard web crawling and scraping framework that is lightweight, efficient, and cross-platform. It supports distributed crawling with pluggable storage backends like MySQL, Redis, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and RabbitMQ.

Use cases

  • scrape data from websites in .NET
  • build a distributed web crawler in C#
  • extract structured data from web pages
  • schedule recurring web scraping jobs
  • crawl sites and store results in a database
  • collect data for downstream analytics pipelines

When to choose

  • you are building scrapers in C#/.NET and want a high-level framework
  • you need distributed crawling with queue and storage integrations
  • you want cross-platform crawling on .NET Core

When to avoid

  • you work primarily in Python (Scrapy may fit better)
  • you only need a one-off simple HTTP fetch
  • you need a headless-browser-first scraping solution
