hero-scrape extracts the main image of a webpage. It use different strategies to find the main images (OpenGraph HTML Tags and heuristic search). You can use the existing strategies or implement your own.

To find the "biggest" image it is necessary to download it. fastimage is the perfect choice for that job.

go get github.com/v-braun/hero-scrape

With pre configured strategies

pageUrl, _ := url.Parse("https://github.com/v-braun/hero-scrape")
res, _ := http.Get(pageUrl.String())
defer res.Body.Close()

result, _ := heroscrape.Scrape(pageUrl, res.Body)
fmt.Println(result.Image)

With cusom strategies

pageUrl, _ := url.Parse("https://github.com/v-braun/hero-scrape")
res, _ := http.Get(pageUrl.String())
defer res.Body.Close()

result, _ := heroscrape.ScrapeWithStrategy(pageUrl, res.Body, , NewOgStrategy(), NewHeuristicStrategy(), YourOwnStrategy())
