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
