Scrapers |
Using Scrapers
Scrapers are used to contact online information providers to download metadata for video and music items that are to be added to the library.
A number of scrapers are installed by default when installing Kodi. Other scrapers are available for installation from the official repository. The tables at the bottom of this page list all official scrapers and their compatability.

Scraper Development
Historically, Kodi scrapers were XML based. While XML scrapers have been used successfully for well over a decade, their use has been deprecated, since the release of Kodi v19 Matrix, in favour of Python based scrapers.
XML scrapers have become difficult to develop and maintain as they are no longer suited to the advanced REST API's used by the information providers, which results in frequent maintenance and updates to cope with API changes.
The following pages are available to help with the development process of scrapers. Although XML scrapers are deprecated, and no future XML scrapers will be accepted into the official repository, the two pages dedicated to XML scrapers contain useful information.

XML scrapers are deprecated. This page may still contain useful development information. | |||
