Hi there!

Please add the ability to use custom scripts on the page. For an example jQuery or pure javascript.

Yea that would be amazing. Most of the work could be done by JavaScript

I think webscraper.io don't want this, because they will lose customers.

#4

Can you give an example how the script execution would be used in web scraper?

Technically right now you can execute scripts in pages with other extensions. For example you can use tamper monkey.

Tampermonkey is cool! But it doesn't have a convinen interface like Webscrapper.

I see Webscraper can stay on a page while it needs then it can take a callback and pass there DOM and some environment.

So basically you want to run a script which would return a DOM element. Then using other selectors you would interact with the DOM element. Am I right?

Why do you think Web Scraper would lose users if we add this feature?

Am I right?
Yes

This is my stupid assumption. I haven't seen your commercial product, but it seems to me it more functional than the extension for Google Chrome. I assumed that you are hunting for paid customers. Sorry

Hi!

How about this feature?

At the moment, I'd be happy to call a script that could send a call to a specific address if it found something important on the page. For example, in my bot.
