Yahoo parser overviewโ€‹

Ask search results parser. Thanks to the Ask parser, you can get large databases of links ready for further use. You can use queries in the same way as you enter them in the Ask search bar, including search operators (site, inurl, etc.).

The A-Parser functionality allows you to save Ask parser parsing settings for further use (presets), set up a parsing schedule, and much more. You can use automatic query multiplication, substitution of subqueries from files, enumeration of alphanumeric combinations and lists to obtain 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 results and output data in various formats, including JSON, SQL, and CSV.

List of collected dataโ€‹

  • Links, anchors, and snippets from the search results
  • Related keywords

Data collected by the SE::Ask parser

Capabilitiesโ€‹

  • Parses the maximum number of results returned - 10 pages
  • Parses up to 100 results of American Ask.com search results
  • Ability to collect related keywords

Use casesโ€‹

  • Collecting link databases - for A-Poster, XRumer, AllSubmitter, etc.
  • Competition assessment for keywords
  • Backlink (mention) search for sites
  • Checking site indexing
  • Search for vulnerable sites
  • Any other options involving parsing Ask.com in one form or another

Query examplesโ€‹

  • Queries must be specified as search phrases, just as if you were entering them directly into the Ask.com search form, for example:
test
ะพะบะฝะฐ ะœะพัะบะฒะฐ

Query substitutionsโ€‹

You can use built-in macros to multiply queries, for example, we want to get a very large database of forums, specify several main queries in different languages:

forum
ั„ะพั€ัƒะผ
foro
่ฎบๅ›

In the query format, we will 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 this is not a problem for A-Parser. At a speed of 2000 requests per minute, such a 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
