I don't know why more people don't use chrome extensions for scraping. Using a boilerplate[1], you can get a scraper up and running in minutes. Start a node server that serves up urls and stores parsed data, and run the scraper in the browser. Best of all, you can watch it running and debug if something goes wrong. I know it doesn't scale well if you're running a SaaS, but for personal projects and research/data normalization it's the lowest barrier to entry, in my opinion.
