"You have a webpage with a list of things: values, prices, emails, or links. And you want to copy that into a string you can use elsewhere like a spreadsheet or data....There’s not an API you can use to fetch these. You know that you can construct a CSS3 selector to get them all. So you can use the developer view of the page (a.k.a. F12) and use JavaScript on the console tab as your ‘API’.Read the whole fabulous thing: Extracting a list from a webpage.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was an easier way to do this? That normal people can use?
