## Telegram Web Crawler
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This project is developed to automatically detect changes made
|
||||||
|
to the official Telegram sites. This is necessary for anticipating
|
||||||
|
future updates and other things (new vacancies, API updates).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**– [![Fetch new content of tracked links to files](https://github.com/MarshalX/telegram-crawler/actions/workflows/make_files_tree.yml/badge.svg?branch=data)](https://github.com/MarshalX/telegram-crawler/actions/workflows/make_files_tree.yml) [Site updates tracker](https://github.com/MarshalX/telegram-crawler/commits/data)**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**– [![Generate or update list of tracked links](https://github.com/MarshalX/telegram-crawler/actions/workflows/make_tracked_links_list.yml/badge.svg?branch=data)](https://github.com/MarshalX/telegram-crawler/actions/workflows/make_tracked_links_list.yml) [Site links tracker](https://github.com/MarshalX/telegram-crawler/commits/main/tracked_links.txt)**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### How it should work in dreams
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. [Link crawling](make_tracked_links_list.py) runs once an hour.
|
||||||
|
Starts crawling from the home page of the site.
|
||||||
|
Detects relative and absolute sub links and recursively repeats the operation.
|
||||||
|
Writes a list of unique links for future content comparison.
|
||||||
|
Additionally, there is the ability to add links by hand to help the script
|
||||||
|
find more hidden (links to which no one refers) links.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. [Content crawling](make_files_tree.py) is launched as often as
|
||||||
|
possible and uses the existing list of links collected in step 1.
|
||||||
|
Going through the base it gets contains and builds a system of subfolders
|
||||||
|
and files. Removes all dynamic content from files.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Works without own servers. Used [GitHub Actions](.github/workflows/).
|
||||||
|
All file changes are tracked by the GIT and are beautifully
|
||||||
|
displayed on the GitHub. Github Actions should be built
|
||||||
|
correctly only if there are changes on the Telegram website.
|
||||||
|
Otherwise, the workflow should fail.
|
||||||
|
If build was successful, we can send notifications to
|
||||||
|
Telegram channel and so on.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### The real world
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [Scheduled actions cannot be run more than once every 5 minutes.](https://github.blog/changelog/2019-11-01-github-actions-scheduled-jobs-maximum-frequency-is-changing/)
|
||||||
|
- [GitHub Actions workflow not triggering at scheduled time](https://upptime.js.org/blog/2021/01/22/github-actions-schedule-not-working/). TLTR: actions run every ~10 minutes.
|
||||||
|
- GitHub Actions freeze for 5 minutes when updating the list of links.
|
||||||
|
Locally, this takes less than 10 seconds for several hundred requests.
|
||||||
|
**This is not really a big problem. The list of links is rarely updated.**
|
||||||
|
- When updating links, ~one link may be lost, and the next list generation
|
||||||
|
it is returned. This will lead to the successful execution of workflow
|
||||||
|
when there were no server changes. Most likely this is a
|
||||||
|
bug in my script that can be fixed. As a last resort, compare
|
||||||
|
the old version of the linkbase with the new one.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### TODO list
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- bug fixes;
|
||||||
|
- alert system.
