go get github.com/placer14/ob-crawler or docker pull placer14/ob-crawler

The crawler must be pointed at an OpenBazaar API using the Authentication cookie it generated upon start. (More information at https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go/blob/master/docs/security.md#authentication-cookie)
This option allows the crawler to include it on requests made to the API.
This option tells the crawler how many seconds to wait before disconnecting and trying the next operation.
This option tells the crawler how many nodes to retrieve information about before stopping.
This options tells the crawler how many workers to start.
This is a small toy golang program that I used to explore OpenBazaar's internal API.
Using Go write an OpenBazaar network crawler that logs the total number of listings on the network. The crawler may connect to a running openbazaar-go instance and use the API.
You can find the API code here: https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-go/tree/master/api
Some endpoints of interest may be:
- /ob/peers
- /ob/closestpeers
- /ob/profile
- /ob/listings
