What's new in V2

After using our own extension a bit, we noticed some big improvments were needed.
We came up with the following new improvments:

  • V1 projects are still supported.
  • Only V2 projects will enjoy the followings improvments
    • Scrap an URL several times with different parameters.
    • Parameters for URLs can be static or dynamic by getting them from your server right before scrapping a page.
    • Using a switch, you can decide to automatically send the data to your server after each iteration of scrapper.js.
    • In the left panel, you can now schedule your projects to run at different interval automatically
    • Clicking on the [RUN ON ALL URLS....] button, will now run scrapper.js in a separate tab, and automatically close it at the end.
    • Using rws.manualActionRequired("..."), will now open in a separate tab.
