Aufmachen

Aufmachen comes knocking at the door of popular websites. Time to open up your data!

Aufmachen is a library for turning a website's HTML into nice, clean objects.

Here's how to scrape epguides.com:

from aufmachen.websites import epguides
earl_series = epguides.series.get('mynameisearl')

len(earl_series['seasons'])
>>> 4

earl_series['seasons'][0]['episodes'][0]
>>> {'title': u'Pilot', 'season': 1, 'air_date': '2005-09-20', 'number': 1, 'production_number': u'1ALJ79', 'epid': 1}
