Social_scrapper is a project mainly written in Python, based on the View license.
This project contains Scrapy spiders able to crawl some charity/general interest/humanitarian websites to extract data about volunteering opportunities.
To run this you need Scrapy: http://scrapy.org/
For instance, to run the "Service Civique" spider and get the results in XML:
scrapy crawl service-civique.gouv.fr --set FEED_URI=output.xml --set FEED_FORMAT=xml
There is a lot of debug information on the standard error stream, use 2>/dev/null if needed.
