SE::AOL - search.aol.com search results parser
AOL parser overviewโ
AOL parser is a parser of AOL search results. Thanks to the AOL parser, you can get huge databases of links, ready for further use. You can use queries in the same way as you enter them in the AOL search bar, including search operators (contains, intitle, language, site, etc.). More details on the official AOL Search FAQs page.
The A-Parser functionality allows you to save the parsing settings of the AOL parser for further use (presets), set up a parsing schedule, and much more. You can use automatic query replication, substitution of subqueries from files, enumeration of alphanumeric combinations and lists to get the maximum possible number of results.
Saving results is possible in the format and structure that you need, thanks to the built-in powerful Template Toolkit template engine, which allows you to apply additional logic to the results and output data in various formats, including JSON, SQL, and CSV.
List of collected dataโ
- Number of results per query
- Links, anchors, and snippets from the search results
Capabilitiesโ
The AOL search engine parser has the following capabilities and settings:
- Support for all AOL search operators (site:, prefer:, url:, feed:, etc.). More details on the official AOL Search FAQs page.
- Parses the maximum number of results returned by AOL - 100 pages with 20 items in the search results of each page
- Support for search periods (Anytime, Day, Week, Month)
Use casesโ
- Collecting link databases - for A-Poster, XRumer, AllSubmitter, etc.
- Keyword competition analysis
- Parsing American Google search results
- Finding backlinks (mentions) of websites
- Checking website indexing
- Finding vulnerable websites
- Any other use cases involving parsing AOL in one way or another
Query examplesโ
- Queries must be specified as search phrases, just as if you were entering them directly into the AOL search form, for example:
ัะตัั
buy house
site:www.realtor.com
feed:football
a-parser loc:ca
Query substitutionsโ
You can use built-in macros to replicate queries. For example, we want to get a very large database of forums, so we specify several basic queries in different languages:
forum
ัะพััะผ
foro
่ฎบๅ
In the query format, we specify the enumeration of characters from a to zzzz. This method allows you to rotate the search results to the maximum and get many new unique results:
$query {az:a:zzzz}
This macro will create 475254 additional queries for each original search query, which in total will give 4 x 475254 = 1901016 search queries, an impressive number, but not a problem for A-Parser. At a speed of 2000 queries per minute, this task will be processed in just 16 hours.
Using operatorsโ
You can use search operators in the query format, so it will be automatically added to each query from your list:
site:$query
