sherlockscraper's Issues

Testing

Add some unit tests to check features of the bot

Search for query in all html content

It's good to allow searching for all html content of the page, not just urls

Additional logs

Sometimes bot raises error and it's hard to detect and fix it without additional logs.

More browsers support

Automatically detect default browser or any existing one and use it.

Support list:

• Chrome
• Edge
• Firefox
• Safari

Scrape JS files too

It's an amazing feature to implement.
Looking for a way to extract urls from .js files too, and search for query term.

Save results in separate folders/files

The idea is to save scraper bot results to separate folders that have files with results
The name of the folder should be the site name, and it will contain folders with the datetime of scraping the site

Process web-pages with async js scripts

Some pages may execute script or change DOM, when the page is already loaded.
Need to find a way how to wait until DOM if finalized.

Example:
https://www.bigmir.net/

(asynchronous script is added to DOM after page was loaded)
