Introduction to WebScraper

WebScraper is a specialized tool designed for efficient web data retrieval and selective element extraction from webpages. Its primary purpose is to facilitate users in gathering specific information from web resources quickly and accurately. WebScraper is capable of retrieving the entire content of a webpage, extracting specified elements, generating screenshots, and converting webpages into PDFs. For instance, if a user needs to extract all product prices from an e-commerce website, WebScraper can be configured to fetch this data by targeting the relevant HTML elements. Similarly, a user interested in monitoring changes on a news website can use WebScraper to periodically capture screenshots or extract the latest headlines.
