Cola is a high-level distributed crawling framework in Python for scraping pages and extracting structured data from websites. The same crawler code runs in both local and distributed master-worker modes, managed via a 'coca' command-line tool.

Use cases

  • crawl websites and extract structured data
  • run a distributed web crawler across multiple workers
  • scrape pages in local mode for small jobs
  • manage crawler jobs from the command line
  • build a custom crawler application from a project template

When to choose

  • you need to scale crawling across a master-worker cluster
  • you want one codebase that works in both local and distributed modes
  • you prefer a lightweight Python crawling framework with a CLI for job management

When to avoid

  • you need Python 3 support, which is not yet implemented
  • you want an actively maintained project with recent releases
  • you need extensive documentation or community support
