About chromedp examples

This folder contains a variety of code examples for working with chromedp. The godoc page contains a number of simple examples which are generally self-contained, while this repository holds more complex examples which tend to require internet access or external components.

Please note that when the chromedp package is being rewritten, these examples may break. Additionally, since these examples are written for specific websites, there is a good chance that the current selectors, etc break after the website they are written against changes.

While every effort is made to ensure that these examples are kept up-to-date, it is expected that the examples made available here may occassionally break.

To file issues, use the chromedp's issue tracker.

Building and Running an Example

# run example <prog>
$ go run $GOPATH/src/github.com/chromedp/examples/<prog>/main.go

# build example <prog>
$ go build -o <prog> github.com/chromedp/examples/<prog> && ./<prog>

Contributing

Pull Requests and contributions to this project are encouraged and greatly welcomed! The chromedp project always needs new examples, and needs talented developers (such as yourself!) to submit fixes for the existing examples when they break (for example, when a website's layout/HTML changes).
