Web Opt-Out

A tool and library written in Python to check the Copyright information of online works and the conditions under which they can be accessed. See the #/examples/ folder to get started. The source code is available in this repository and there are packaged releases available from PyPI that include verified databases. Requires Python 3.9+!

NOTE: The initial prototype of this weboptout tool was built in a few hours <https://twitter.com/alexjc/status/1679456502719864832>_. If you want to comply with Copyright regulations worldwide and respect the conditions set by rightsholders on their platform of choice, you can easily do so without this library. There's no excuse!

Usage

The library supports checking if files hosted on a domain or CDN are opted-out of Text- and Data-Mining:

.. code-block:: python

from weboptout import check_domain_reservation, rsv

res = check_domain_reservation("pinterest.com")
if res == rsv.YES:
    print(f"Domain Opted-Out\n\t{res.url}\n\t❝{res.summary}〞")

You may call the API functions like check_domain_reservation in both synchronous and asynchronous forms.

Installation

Option 1) Install from PyPI [recommended]

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install weboptout

Option 2) Setup From Source [developers]
