Gain is an asynchronous web crawling framework for Python built on asyncio, aiohttp, and lxml/pyquery. Users declare items and parsers declaratively while the framework handles concurrency, retries, and persistence.

Use cases

  • scrape blog posts from a website
  • crawl paginated listing pages
  • extract data with CSS selectors or XPath
  • build an async web spider in Python
  • save scraped page content to files
  • crawl websites through a proxy

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight Scrapy-like framework with asyncio concurrency
  • you need declarative item/parser definitions for structured scraping
  • you want XPath and CSS selector support out of the box

When to avoid

  • you need JavaScript rendering of dynamic pages
  • you need a full-featured scraping framework with pipelines, middlewares, and a large ecosystem
  • your project requires Python below 3.10
