Pipet is a command-line web scraper written in Go that extracts data from online assets using HTML parsing, JSON parsing, and client-side JavaScript evaluation via Playwright. It composes with curl and Unix pipes, supports JSON output, templating, and change monitoring with notifications.

Use cases

  • scrape data from web pages from the command line
  • extract fields from JSON APIs
  • render JavaScript-heavy pages and extract content
  • monitor a page for changes and get notified
  • track stock prices or ticket availability
  • pipe scraped values through shell commands like wc or htmlq

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight terminal-based scraper with Unix-pipe composability
  • you need to mix HTML, JSON, and JS-rendered extraction in one tool
  • you want simple change monitoring with custom commands on change

When to avoid

  • you need large-scale distributed crawling or proxy rotation
  • you prefer a GUI or browser-based scraping tool
  • you need a library API to embed scraping in an application
