Plugin for website-scraper which returns html for dynamic websites using PhantomJS

Requirements

Installation

npm install website-scraper website-scraper-phantom

Usage

const scrape = require('website-scraper');
const PhantomPlugin = require('website-scraper-phantom');

scrape({
    urls: ['https://www.instagram.com/gopro/'],
    directory: '/path/to/save',
    plugins: [ new PhantomPlugin() ]
});

How it works

It starts PhantomJS which just opens page and waits when page is loaded. It is far from ideal because probably you need to wait until some resource is loaded or click some button or log in. Currently this module doesn't support such functionality.
