About:
Pipet is a command-line utility that transforms any website into a structured data source. It allows users to define data extraction workflows using simple configuration files, handling HTTP requests and data parsing in a unified pipeline. The tool is designed for developers and data enthusiasts who need to quickly scrape and process web content without writing complex scripts.
Key Features:
  • Declarative YAML-based configuration for scraping workflows
  • Chainable data processing steps (fetch, parse, filter, format)
  • Support for multiple output formats (JSON, CSV, plain text)
  • Built-in handling of common web scraping challenges
Use Cases:
  • Extracting data from websites for analysis or integration
  • Monitoring web pages for changes and triggering alerts
  • Automating data collection from multiple online sources
Alternatives:
  • curl – Lower-level tool; requires manual parsing and scripting for complex workflows
  • jq – Excellent for JSON processing but needs companion tools for HTTP requests and HTML parsing
  • httpie – User-friendly HTTP client focused on API interaction, not structured data extraction
