I need a website scraper tool that can output data into both JSON and CSV. I've tried a couple Chrome extensions and while a GUI is welcome, they're not free and they seem to be quite limited in that they're geared towards non-programmers. I'd like something that:
- Is free.
- Can use something like jQuery so you have the power to select something, navigate up and down the child and parent elements, find attributes, extract text and hrefs, etc.
- Can navigate automatically through multiple pages (I'm scraping stuff like product catalogs, so I'd like to move from page to page automatically and stopping on each page to drill down into each product on that page and so forth).
