Tor

The Tor label spider allows you to crawl the Tor network for cryptocurrency labels (e.g., address, transaction hash). Before crawling the label on Tor, please ensure that Tor (port: 9150) is available in your host. Tor is a network solution for anonymizing communications on the internet. Therefore, there are a lot of illegal activities using cryptocurrency for transactions in the Tor network.

Launch the following command in the console to crawl the labels from the Tor network.

scrapy crawl labels.tor \
-a out=/path/to/output/data \
-a source=http://6nhmgdpnyoljh5uzr5kwlatx2u3diou4ldeommfxjz3wkhalzgjqxzqd.onion

the argument for the Tor label spider, including:

  • out: the output directory, default is ./data.
  • source: the source site (.onion) for crawling the tor network.
