Scraping

1998 - 2003

Difficulty: Medium

  • The only language found is Armenian.
  • Start at the index.htm of each date.
  • Parse for any links to articles.
  • Sometime these articles are only summaries of a few. So you would have to search for possible links within each of these.

Example

  • index.htm

http://archive.aravot.am/2001/aravot_arm/january/13/aravot_index.htm

  • First link on the left goes directly to an article

http://archive.aravot.am/2001/aravot_arm/january/13/aravot_index.htm

  • Second link goes to a summary page

http://archive.aravot.am/2001/aravot_arm/january/13/aravot_politik.htm


2004 - 2011

Difficulty: Hard

  • Articles can be in Armenian, Russian or English, but not every article is in every language.
  • There are also some huge holes in the archive for languages other than Armenian
  • 2004, English only has 2 months

http://www.aravot.am/2004/aravot_eng/

  • Easy to download all the articles from one day
  • Difficult to match article to article form different languages
  • File names for the same articles are not always the same
  • Some articles exist in one language but not the other
  • Index page are not always the same either

http://www.aravot.am/2004/aravot_eng/December/4/aravot_index.htm


2011 October 21 - Present

Difficulty: Easy

  • Giving a range of dates, go to an archive of each day in all three languages.

Example

http://www.aravot.am/ru/2011/12/26/

  • Scrape all the article links, then find the article full text
  • Save html with date, language, article number
  • Try to match articles with same date and article number.
  • Using only article number should be safe enough, but date would make them more unique
