NScrape

A web scraping framework for .NET that handles the plumbing — HTTP requests, cookies, redirects, form submission — so you can focus on extracting data.

Installation

dotnet add package NScrape

Quick Start

This example scrapes the book category list from books.toscrape.com.

1. Create a scraper

Inherit from Scraper and use the HTML Agility Pack HtmlDocument to extract data:

using NScrape;

public class BookstoreScraper : Scraper {
    public BookstoreScraper( string html ) : base( html ) { }

    public List<string> GetTitles() {
        return HtmlDocument.DocumentNode
            .Descendants( "article" )
            .Where( n => n.Attributes["class"]?.Value == "product_pod" )
            .Select( n => n.SelectSingleNode( ".//h3/a" ).Attributes["title"].Value )
            .ToList();
    }
}

2. Fetch the page and scrape it

using NScrape;
using NScrape.Interfaces;

var webClient = new WebClient();

using var response = webClient.SendRequest( new Uri( "https://books.toscrape.com" ) );

if ( response is IHtmlWebResponse htmlResponse ) {
    var scraper = new BookstoreScraper( htmlResponse.Html );
    var titles = scraper.GetTitles();
}

Features

  • GET and POST requests
  • Cookie management
  • Automatic redirect handling
  • HTML form submission (BasicHtmlForm, BasicAspxForm)
  • Proxy support
  • Extensible response handling via custom content type handlers

Proxy Support

NScrape supports routing requests through a proxy at either the client or per-request level:

// Client-level proxy — applies to all requests
webClient.Proxy = new WebProxy( "http://your-proxy:port" );

// Per-request proxy — overrides client proxy for this request
var request = new GetWebRequest( uri ) {
    Proxy = new WebProxy( "http://your-proxy:port" )
};

For reliable scraping at scale, a dedicated proxy service such as ScrapingAnt (affiliate link) can help manage proxy rotation and avoid blocks.
