Krita Scraper
Spider read krita.org in 598 ms without a browser and returned 182 lines of clean markdown, including sections like "Text Tool¶", "Blending Modes While Transforming¶" and "Photomerge¶".
Macro recording and playback exists in Krita, but it is not working well at this time.### Text Tool¶Since Krita 5.3, the Text Tool is quite advanced. The underlying text layout engines are quite different however, and in some places one is better than the other. A small overview:* A different way of handling Letter Spacing, which sometimes is used to do manual kerning. Within Krita, it’s best to use Type Setting Mode for this purpose.* An option where the whole paragraph is taken into account when line breaking, this is not available within Krita.* Similarly, all types (European, East Asian and Middle Eastern) of justification are more advanced.* Latin text that rotates when typeset vertically.* Width and height stretching of glyphs.* The ability to lay out text in multiple shapes.* Type Setting Mode has more flexibility in positioning glyphs arbitrarily.* Better support for bi-directional text, with unicode bidi selection.* The ability to align text by their hanging baseline.* A more flexible opentype feature selection system.Beyond that, Photoshop’s engine is one where ranges of text are styled, while Krita’s uses a tree system styled with CSS. This means that within Krita ranges can inherit properties, and some properties can be applied in a nested manner. See the Text Properties Docker for precise descriptions of each property.### Blending Modes While Transforming¶When you transform a layer or a selection in Krita, the transformation appears on the top of your layer stack ignoring the layer blending mode.Starting from Krita 5.0, the performance setting “Use in-stack preview in Transform Tool” allows for the layer blending mode to be previewed during transformation.### Photomerge¶The same call, in code.
The capture above came back as markdown. These examples add a key, so you get browser rendering, proxies, and concurrency on krita.org.
import { SpiderBrowser } from "spider-browser";
const spider = new SpiderBrowser({
apiKey: process.env.SPIDER_API_KEY!,
});
await spider.connect();
const page = spider.page!;
await page.goto("https://krita.org");
// No selectors, no schema. Spider reads the page and names the fields.
const data = await page.scrape();
console.log(data);
await spider.close();import { Spider } from "@spider-cloud/spider-client";
const spider = new Spider({ apiKey: process.env.SPIDER_API_KEY! });
const result = await spider.scrapeUrl("https://www.krita.org", {

Fields you can pull.
Spider names these from the page. The capture above came back as markdown; the same
call with return_format: "json" returns them as keys.
What krita.org costs to scrape.
The capture above cost $0.000094 to fetch. Pricing is $1 per GB of pre-transformation bandwidth plus $0.001 per CPU minute, so a page like this one lands at a fraction of a cent. Failed requests are billed at $0.
