Spider Unicode C Reference Documentation

Spider

Current Version: 10.0.0

Chilkat Spider web crawler object.

Create/Dispose

HCkSpiderW instance = CkSpiderW_Create();
// ...
CkSpiderW_Dispose(instance);
HCkSpiderW CkSpiderW_Create(void);

Creates an instance of the HCkSpiderW object and returns a handle ("void *" pointer). The handle is passed in the 1st argument for the functions listed on this page.

void CkSpiderW_Dispose(HCkSpiderW handle);

Objects created by calling CkSpiderW_Create must be freed by calling this method. A memory leak occurs if a handle is not disposed by calling this function. Also, any handle returned by a Chilkat "C" function must also be freed by the application by calling the appropriate Dispose method, such as CkSpiderW_Dispose.

Callback Functions

Callback Functions introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.56
void CkSpiderW_setAbortCheck(HCkSpiderW cHandle, BOOL (*fnAbortCheck)(void));

Provides the opportunity for a method call to be aborted. If TRUE is returned, the operation in progress is aborted. Return FALSE to allow the current method call to continue. This callback function is called periodically based on the value of the HeartbeatMs property. (If HeartbeatMs is 0, then no callbacks are made.) As an example, to make 5 AbortCheck callbacks per second, set the HeartbeatMs property equal to 200.

void CkSpiderW_setPercentDone(HCkSpiderW cHandle, BOOL (*fnPercentDone)(int pctDone));

Provides the percentage completed for any method that involves network communications or time-consuming processing (assuming it is a method where a percentage completion can be measured). This callback is only called when it is possible to know a percentage completion, and when it makes sense to express the operation as a percentage completed. The pctDone argument will have a value from 1 to 100. For methods that complete very quickly, the number of PercentDone callbacks will vary, but the final callback should have a value of 100. For long running operations, no more than one callback per percentage point will occur (for example: 1, 2, 3, ... 98, 99, 100).

This callback counts as an AbortCheck callback, and takes the place of the AbortCheck event when it fires.

The return value indicates whether the method call should be aborted, or whether it should proceed. Return TRUE to abort, and FALSE to proceed.

void CkSpiderW_setProgressInfo(HCkSpiderW cHandle, void (*fnProgressInfo)(const wchar_t *name, const wchar_t *value));

This is a general callback that provides name/value information about what is happening at certain points during a method call. To see the information provided in ProgressInfo callbacks, if any, write code to handle this event and log the name/value pairs. Most are self-explanatory.

void CkSpiderW_setTaskCompleted(HCkSpiderW cHandle, void (*fnTaskCompleted)(HCkTaskW hTask));

Called in the background thread when an asynchronous task completes. (Note: When an async method is running, all callbacks are in the background thread.)

Properties

AbortCurrent
BOOL CkSpiderW_getAbortCurrent(HCkSpiderW cHandle);
void CkSpiderW_putAbortCurrent(HCkSpiderW cHandle, BOOL newVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

When set to TRUE, causes the currently running method to abort. Methods that always finish quickly (i.e.have no length file operations or network communications) are not affected. If no method is running, then this property is automatically reset to FALSE when the next method is called. When the abort occurs, this property is reset to FALSE. Both synchronous and asynchronous method calls can be aborted. (A synchronous method call could be aborted by setting this property from a separate thread.)

top
AvoidHttps
BOOL CkSpiderW_getAvoidHttps(HCkSpiderW cHandle);
void CkSpiderW_putAvoidHttps(HCkSpiderW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

If set the 1 (true) the spider will avoid all HTTPS URLs. The default is 0 (false).

top
CacheDir
void CkSpiderW_getCacheDir(HCkSpiderW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkSpiderW_putCacheDir(HCkSpiderW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkSpiderW_cacheDir(HCkSpiderW cHandle);

Specifies a cache directory to use for spidering. If either of the FetchFromCache or UpdateCache properties are true, this is the location of the cache to be used. Note: the Internet Explorer, Netscape, and FireFox caches are completely separate from the Chilkat Spider cache directory. You should specify a new and empty directory.

More Information and Examples
top
ChopAtQuery
BOOL CkSpiderW_getChopAtQuery(HCkSpiderW cHandle);
void CkSpiderW_putChopAtQuery(HCkSpiderW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

If equal to 1 (true), then the query portion of all URLs are automatically removed when adding to the unspidered list. The default value is 0 (false).

top
ConnectTimeout
int CkSpiderW_getConnectTimeout(HCkSpiderW cHandle);
void CkSpiderW_putConnectTimeout(HCkSpiderW cHandle, int newVal);

The maximum number of seconds to wait while connecting to an HTTP server.

top
DebugLogFilePath
void CkSpiderW_getDebugLogFilePath(HCkSpiderW cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkSpiderW_putDebugLogFilePath(HCkSpiderW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkSpiderW_debugLogFilePath(HCkSpiderW cHandle);

If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.

This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:

  1. a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
  2. the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
  3. there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

More Information and Examples
top
Domain
void CkSpiderW_getDomain(HCkSpiderW cHandle, HCkString retval);
const wchar_t *CkSpiderW_domain(HCkSpiderW cHandle);

BOOL CkSpiderW_getFetchFromCache(HCkSpiderW cHandle);
void CkSpiderW_putFetchFromCache(HCkSpiderW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

If equal to 1 (true) then pages are fetched from cache when possible. If 0, the cache is ignored. The default value is 1. Regardless, if no CacheDir is set then the cache is not used.

top
HeartbeatMs
int CkSpiderW_getHeartbeatMs(HCkSpiderW cHandle);
void CkSpiderW_putHeartbeatMs(HCkSpiderW cHandle, int newVal);

LastMethodSuccess
BOOL CkSpiderW_getLastMethodSuccess(HCkSpiderW cHandle);
void CkSpiderW_putLastMethodSuccess(HCkSpiderW cHandle, BOOL newVal);

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of TRUE indicates success, a value of FALSE indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = TRUE and failure = FALSE.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to TRUE. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

Methods

More Information and Examples
top
AddMustMatchPattern
void CkSpiderW_AddMustMatchPattern(HCkSpiderW cHandle, const wchar_t *pattern);

Adds a wildcarded pattern to limit spidering to only URLs that match the pattern. For example, if "*/products/*" is added, then only URLs containing "/products/" are spidered. This is helpful for only spidering a portion of a website. The "*" character matches zero or more of any character.

(providing that they do not match "avoid" patterns, etc.) Any new outbound links are added to the outbound URL list. If successful, the HTML of the downloaded page is available in the LastHtml property. If there are no more URLs left unspidered, the method returns FALSE. Information about the URL crawled is available in the properties LastUrl, LastFromCache, and LastModDate.
