A powerful web crawling stack is abstracted away, allowing you to write powerful, easy to read scraping scripts.\n\n## Why Scout?\n\n- Gain access to powerful web scraping technology without needing expertise\n- A focus on developer velocity\n- Builtin debugging tools\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n![example](./assets/code-sample.png)\n\n## Iterative script building\n\nScoutLang comes bundled with a full REPL and a powerful debugging mode, allowing you to visualize your web scraping scripts in real time. \n\n![debug](./assets/scout.gif)\n\n# Installation\n\nEventually Scout installation will come bundled with the necessary pre-reqs. For now, you will need:\n- Some version of FireFox\n- [Geckodriver](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver)\n\nThe binary can then be installed one of two ways:\n\n1. Cargo (requires Rust)\n\n```sh\ncargo install scoutlang\n```\n\n2. Run the installer (requires Python3):\n\n```bash\ncurl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxmindlin/scout-lang/main/scripts/installer.py | python3\n```\n\nBoth install the Scout interpreter into your path as `scout`.\n\n# Usage\n\nThe `scout` binary ran with a filename will read and interpret a script file. Without a script will start the REPL.\n\nAvailable ENV variables:\n- `SCOUT_DEBUG`: Whether or not to open the debug browser. Defaults to `false`.\n- `SCOUT_PORT`: Which port to run Scout on. Defaults to a random open port. Do not set if you intend to run multiple scout instances at once as ports will conflict.\n- `SCOUT_PROXY`: An optional URL to proxy requests to. Defaults to none.\n- `SCOUT_PATH`: A path to where Scout installs dependencies, like the standard lib. Defaults to `$HOME/scout-lang/`.\n\n# License\n\nScout is dual-licensed with MIT \u0026 Apache 2.0, at your option.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmaxmindlin%2Fscout-lang","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmaxmindlin%2Fscout-lang","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmaxmindlin%2Fscout-lang/lists"}
