How to parse information from a site that is not hosted on the server?

Question

Python

I have a folder in which correspondence and photos are stored in the form of an html site, but only I can view this site, because it is not hosted anywhere, I am writing a program that would go through all these files, read the code from the site, and if there is a link to photo, wrote this link to a file.

Answer 1

If the site is in the form of static files on the disk, then you just need to read these files from the disk instead of requests from the server and freely process the same regular expressions, lxml, bs4 and whatever else your heart desires. It will be even easier here - no need to solve captchas, save cookies and all that.
Of course, you can set up a local web server, but it's like calling a team of surveyors with a theodolite to measure your living room, although it would be better to just buy a tape measure.

Answer 2

Perhaps the Requests library will help

However, Python also has its own servers
