Credits

Inspired heavily by Shpider, relying extensively on wreq, xml-conduit, and html-conduit. Also inspired by Mechanize from perl (as well as bindings in other languages such as python and ruby).

TODO

  • Make sure dependency constraints are sane/used
  • Evaulate: Use wreq form params for passing around post data/credentials
  • Allow error handler to be passed to Scraper or throw error by default if cursor can't be created?
  • (Good idea?) get (and most other things returning the ByteString response) should return the current cursor so you can chain the common scenario of going to a page and extracting an element if needed
  • Create tutorials
  • Checking reddit messages example
  • Logging Into Hacker news example
  • Turn example(s?) into tutorials
  • Modularize code. It's all in a single file ATM
  • getCurrentCursor shouldn't return Maybe, the library should handle it... it's a library error!
  • Better test coverage.
