| Description: | RedNails is a data scraping library that uses templates to determine what data to extract from actual data feeds. RedNails uses the template to create a regular expression that catches the user marker variables. When a string of data is passed to RedNails it will use the regular expression to extract the matches and return them to the user. If the scraped data is regular enough then RedNails is a simple way to extract data as all one needs to do is copy a live data feed and mark the points to extract and make this the template. |
