Welcome to the skrapr wiki!

Skrapr is a cross-platform web scraping tool that uses a declarative definition file to define the actions, or tasks, that the Skrapr performs. The definition file is a plain 'ol json file (that supports comments) to make it easy to write definitions to skrape or automate all kinds of web sites.
