Script to scrape all the links from a page and stores them in a csv file.

Usings httplib2, beautifulsoup, pandas and urlparse.



Code:
import httplib2
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup, SoupStrainer
import pandas as pd
from urlparse import urlparse, urljoin

inputFile = 'archivelist.csv'

http = httplib2.Http()

csvInputDf = pd.DataFrame()
csvInputDf = pd.read_csv(inputFile)
if 'archive' in inputFile:
    index_column = 'archive'
else:
    index_column = csvinputDf.columns[0]

archives = csvInputDf[index_column]


for url in archives:
    print 'url = ' + url
    status, response = http.request(url)
    links = []
    parseUrl = urlparse(url)
    domain ='{uri.scheme}://{uri.netloc}/'.format(uri=parseUrl)
    for item in BeautifulSoup(response, 'html.parser', parse_only=SoupStrainer('a')):
        if item.has_attr('href'):
            linkParse = urlparse(item['href'])
            #print item['href']
            if linkParse.netloc=='':                
                link = urljoin(domain,item['href'])
            else:
                link = item['href']
            links.append(link)
            
    my_df = pd.DataFrame(links)
    my_df.to_csv('LinkList.csv',index=False,header=False)
