http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/wlc
Web Link Captor is a program that takes a list of plaintext items, and builds an output document containing a list of url-linked results based on web searches for the items.
It's a way to quickly build a clickable list of items from just their names, suitable for posting on your blog or a forum, etc.
Features:
| • | Friendly GUI lets you build flexible sets of processing steps to parse plaintext input lists and perform search and output functions. |
| • | You can save and load projects and script configurations for easy re-use. |
| • | Uses a set of standalone utility scripts that can be run without the windows front end GUI, and can be easily modified and expanded. |
| • | The included backend scripts are in Python (but other languages can be used) |
| • | Uses caching to avoid repeating web searches unnecessarily. |
| • | Comes with output formatters for HTML, BBCode, Markdown/Wikipedia |
| • | Comes with searching engines for google, and bing/opensearch (which can handle amazon, wikipedia, and many others) |
| • | Flexible scoring system lets you interactively or programmatically tweak your results to get the best list of links. |
License:
| • | The main program is donationware; free for personal use but a free license key is required from DonationCoder.com |
| • | Individual commercial users are asked to make a donation of an amount of their choosing; commercial site licenses are required when installed on many computers in a company. |
| • | Source code is provided for back-end python scripts. |
Requirements:
| • | Web Link Captor requires you to install Python 2.x (or download a portable Python 2.x release). |
