使用方法 / Usage

基本命令 / Basic Commands

# 查看版本
./lightpanda version
抓取网页为 HTML
./lightpanda fetch --obey-robots --dump html --log-format pretty --log-level info 
抓取网页为 Markdown（推荐）
./lightpanda fetch --obey-robots --dump markdown --log-format pretty --log-level info 
等待加载后再抓取
./lightpanda fetch --obey-robots --dump markdown --wait-ms 3000 
等待特定元素
./lightpanda fetch --obey-robots --dump markdown --wait-selector ".content" 

Python 调用 / Python Integration

import subprocess
import re
def fetch_url(url, format="markdown", wait_ms=2000):
    """使用 Lightpanda 抓取网页"""
    output_format = "markdown" if format == "markdown" else "html"
    cmd = [
        "./lightpanda", "fetch",
        "--obey-robots",
        "--dump", output_format,
        "--wait-ms", str(wait_ms),
        "--log-format", "pretty",
        url
    ]
    result = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True)
    return result.stdout
使用示例
content = fetch_url("https://example.com", "markdown")
print(content)

适用场景 / Use Cases

| 场景 | 说明 | |------|------| | 🌐 网页抓取 | 轻量快速，适合批量抓取 | | 📄 内容提取 | 转 Markdown，方便后续处理 | | 🔍 竞品分析 | 定期抓取页面内容 | | 📰 新闻聚合 | 抓取文章内容 | | 📊 数据监控 | 监控网页变化 |

注意事项 / Notes

无需 Chrome：独立二进制，不依赖系统浏览器

CDP 协议：支持 Puppeteer/Playwright 连接（高级用法）

遵守 robots.txt：默认 --obey-robots

输出格式：推荐使用 --dump markdown 便于后续处理

Docker 部署 / Docker Deployment

docker run -d --name lightpanda -p 127.0.0.1:9222:9222 lightpanda/browser:nightly

示例 / Examples

抓取网页并保存

./lightpanda fetch --obey-robots --dump markdown --log-format pretty --log-level info https://news.ycombinator.com > output.md

批量抓取

import subprocess
import time
urls = [
    "https://example.com/page1",
    "https://example.com/page2",
    "https://example.com/page3"
]
for url in urls:
    print(f"Fetching: {url}")
    result = subprocess.run(
        ["./lightpanda", "fetch", "--obey-robots", "--dump", "markdown", "--wait-ms", "2000", url],
        capture_output=True,
        text=True
    )
    # 处理 result.stdout
    time.sleep(1)  # 礼貌性延迟

与 LangChain/文档处理结合

import subprocess
def scrape_for_rag(url):
    """抓取网页用于 RAG 处理"""
    result = subprocess.run(
        ["./lightpanda", "fetch", "--obey-robots", "--dump", "markdown", "--wait-ms", "3000", url],
        capture_output=True,
        text=True
    )
    return result.stdout
