shpider: Web automation library in Haskell.
Shpider is a web automation library for Haskell. It allows you to quickly write crawlers, and for simple cases ( like following links ) even without reading the page source.
It has useful features such as turning relative links from a page into absolute links, options to authorize transactions only on a given domain, and the option to only download html documents.
It also provides a nice syntax for filling out forms.
An example:
runShpider $ do download "http://apage.com" theForm : _ <- getFormsByAction "http://anotherpage.com" sendForm $ fillOutForm theForm $ pairs $ do "occupation" =: "unemployed Haskell programmer" "location" =: "mother's house"
