- labrador 3y agoI've used HTTrack before. It's handy for downloading entire websites. The resulting pile of html can be converted to text or PDF later for processing https://www.httrack.com/ https://www.httrack.com/
- xp84 3y agoHow do things like these cope with client-side render websites? Man, do I miss back when you could “save as webpage, complete” and generally get a working copy. I saved webpages a lot because after all, you might not always be online in those days!
