Search Results for "stackoverflow"

This project is made for automatic web scraping to make scraping easy. It gets a URL or the HTML content of a web page and a list of sample data that we want to scrape from that page. This data can be text, URL or any HTML tag value of that page. It learns the scraping rules and returns similar elements. Then you can use this learned object with new URLs to get similar content or the exact same element of those new pages.
