Weboob is a project which provides a core library, modules and applications.
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The core library defines capabilities: features common to various websites.
|
|
For example, http://www.youtube.com/ and http://www.dailymotion.com/ both
|
|
provide videos; Weboob defines the "ICapVideo" capability for them.
|
|
|
|
Each module interfaces with a website and implements one or many of these
|
|
capabilities. Modules can be configured (becoming a "backend"), which means
|
|
that the end-user can provide personal information to access the underlying
|
|
website, like a login and password.
|
|
|
|
Applications allow the end-user to work with many modules in parallel,
|
|
in a multi-threaded way. For example, one could search a video on
|
|
many websites at once. Applications are toolkit-agnostic. They can use GTK+,
|
|
Qt or be text-only. The latter can be used either in an interactive way
|
|
or in pipes.
|
|
|
|
The core library provides base classes which help developers write
|
|
modules and applications.
|
|
|
|
Weboob is written in Python and is distributed under the AGPLv3+ license.
