Better. Faster.

Featuring the Gecko engine, WebRobot 1.3 is the most flexible web crawler and interaction component yet.

Easier deployment

Let's face it: not every Windows computer out in the wild comes with an instalation of the XULRunner. To that end, we provide you with merge modules for everything you might need, so that you can start developing right away, without worrying about dependency issues.

Features

WebRobot 1.3 comes with a variety of features such as:

• Use of the Gecko engine, the same engine that powers Firefox.
• Transparent support of HTTPS and HTTP.
• Accessibility and manipulability of any page that you can interact with using Firefox 2.
• The ability to script complicated interations with a website (i.e. filling out forms, and performing specific nagivation sequences).
• The WebRobot.WebBrowser--a small browser that allows the developer to see code generated by the WebRobot to replicate the current browsing session.
• Full source code.
• Support for the use of proxies.
• The ability to parse the structure of HTML documents.
• Persistence of session cookies and variables, just like a normal browser.
• The ability to parse through HTML elements in a page to extract specific elements.
• Dynamically generated buttons.
• Royalty-free license.
  

And much more!

Open Source

Sharing is caring. And while we were busy creating a very flexible crawler, we were also busy expanding on existing open source libraries like GeckoFX, and neatly packaging the XULRunner. We now offer back to the community an unofficial source release of the GeckoFX library, and merge modules for GeckoFX and the XULRunner (separately, and together).
