Weboob is a project which provides a core library, backends and applications.
|
|
|
|
The core library defines capabilities: features common to various websites. For
|
|
example, http://www.youtube.com and http://www.dailymotion.com are both videos
|
|
providers: Weboob defines the “ICapVideo” capability.
|
|
|
|
Each backend interfaces a website and implements one or many of these
|
|
capabilities. Backends can be configured, which means that the end-user can
|
|
provide personal information to access the underlaying website (login/password
|
|
for example).
|
|
|
|
Applications offer the ability to the end-user to work with many backends in
|
|
parallel, in a multi-threaded way. For example, one could search a video on
|
|
many providers websites. Applications are toolkit-agnostic. They can use Gtk,
|
|
Qt or text-only, more adapted to reuse data through pipes.
|
|
|
|
The core library provides base classes which help the developer to write
|
|
backends and applications.
|

|
Weboob is written in Python and is distributed under the GPLv3 license.
