#### A web crawler for broken-link detection and image downloading

A high-performance web crawler written for broken-link detection and image downloading.

**Overview:**
argiope is a fast, lightweight web crawler designed for broken-link detection, website archiving, and batch image downloading. It features intelligent HTML scanning, URL normalization, and sophisticated report generation. Built with zero external dependencies and compiled to a single static binary.

**Key Features:**

* Crawl websites and detect broken links (4xx/5xx/timeout errors)
* Generate comprehensive reports in text, Markdown, or self-contained HTML format
* Download images from web pages to organized directory structures
* Generate portable HTML browsing pages for downloaded image libraries with `library.html` landing page, nested `index.html` navigation, and per-folder `reader.html` viewers
* Specialized support for downloading manga chapters from MangaFox (fanfox.net) by title with optional chapter range filtering
* BFS (breadth-first search) traversal with configurable crawl depth, request timeouts, and rate limiting
* Domain-restricted crawling with automatic same-origin security checks
* Lightweight HTML scanner for precise link and image extraction from complex pages
* Intelligent URL normalization and relative-to-absolute URL resolution
* Parallel crawling support for improved performance on large sites
* Zero external dependencies — uses only Zig's standard library
* Single static binary — no runtime, no installation hassles

**Commands:**

* `check <url>`: Crawl a website and generate a detailed broken-link report with timing statistics
* `images <url>`: Download all images from a website or manga chapters from MangaFox to an organized structure
* `library <dir>`: Generate or regenerate HTML browser for existing image directories

**Usage Examples:**

* `argiope check https://example.com --depth 5` — Check site for broken links up to 5 levels deep
* `argiope images https://example.com/gallery -o ./images` — Archive gallery images with HTML browser
* `argiope images https://fanfox.net/manga/title --chapters 1-50` — Download manga chapters 1-50
* `argiope check https://example.com --report report.html --report-format html` — Generate HTML report for CI pipelines
* `argiope images https://example.com -o ./archive --parallel --depth 3` — Fast parallel crawling and download

**Report Features:**
Reports include detailed statistics: total URLs checked, OK count, broken count, error count, internal vs external split, and timing information (total time, average/min/max response times). HTML reports are self-contained with inline CSS and styled with status badges.

**HTML Browser:**
The generated portable HTML browser features light/dark/system theme modes with localStorage-backed preferences, relative links for offline browsing, percent-encoded filenames for local file access, and thumbnail galleries with ordered prev/next navigation. Works with generic image collections and deep MangaFox chapter trees alike.

**MangaFox Features:**

* Automatic chapter detection via RSS feeds with fallback to HTML parsing
* Numeric chapter ordering (1, 2, 10, 11, 100) not alphabetic
* Full support for decimal chapter numbers (5.5, 100.1) with correct sorting
* Chapter range filtering via `--chapters N-M` flag
* Organized output: `[manga-title]/[chapter]/[page].jpg`
* Verbose mode shows detailed chapter discovery information

**Performance & Reliability:**
Configurable request timeouts, delay between requests, and concurrent crawling options ensure efficient resource usage and reliable operation on rate-limited sites. Automatic redirect following, response size limiting, and detailed error reporting make it production-ready for CI pipelines and large-scale archiving. Perfect for website archiving, CI/CD integration, and offline browsing.

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Argiope

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
