Create a crawler on the main page: ###\n\nFirst give it a name, and leave the function empty (except if you know what you're doing) \n![screenshot](https://ibin.co/4GSHblERpQfn.png)\n\n### 2. Configure your crawler: ###\n\nThis is the only moment when a bit of coding knowledge is helpful. In the main part, you need to write a JavaScript function that will be executed on every page scraped by the crawler.   \n\nFor instance, to extract the title of each page, write:\n```\nreturn {             \n  title: $('title').text(),\n};\n```  \nYes, jquery is already set up. You simply need to provide the selectors (id, class...)\n\n![screenshot](https://ibin.co/4GSHWS9cgqUR.png)\n\n### View the results: ###\n![screenshot](https://ibin.co/4GSJEILx9T9s.png)\n\n\n## What's included ##\n* See screenshot of your running crawler\n* Manually add URL to be scraped, or upload a CSV \n* Sign in / Sign up  \n* Account management: Profile Page, Username, Change password, Delete account...\n* Admin for the webmaster: go to `/admin`\n* Router\n* MongoDB as database\n\n# Contribute #  \n\nI am looking for people to make pull requests to improve Arachnida. Please do it :)  \nTO DO:  \n1. Setup live queue of url to be scraped (ex: at the moment, you can't click straight on a link and scrape it)\n2. Live Log from the server brought to the interface to help debugging\n3. Results export functionality (CSV \u0026 Json)  \n\n### Thanks ###  \nBoilerplate: yogiben.  \nHeadlessChrome layer: yujiosaka  \n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fguillim%2Farachnida","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fguillim%2Farachnida","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fguillim%2Farachnida/lists"}
