Link Extractor: Step 3

A basic page scraping server that returns all the hyper references and anchor texts of the given web page in JSON.

Changes from the previous step

• Added a server script that uses the link extraction module written in the last step
• Server is accessible as a WEB API at http://<hostname>[:<prt>]/api/<url>
• Dependencies are moved to the requirements.txt file
• Needs port mapping to make the service accessible

Try it out

$ docker image build -t linkextractor:step3 .
$ docker container run -it --rm -p 5000:5000 linkextractor:step3

Open http://localhost:5000/api/http://odu.edu/ in a web browser or cURL from another terminal.

$ curl -i http://localhost:5000/api/http://example.com/

Press Ctrl + C to terminate the service.
