# About

This plugin is an experimental web page scraper coded in LiveCode. The web service does the following things:

* Fetches the HTML of the video page * Runs this through html-tidy using shell() to create a valid xml/xhtml document * Painfully steps through the xhtml to find the relevant sections • Constructs the wiki page json

# To Do

The plugin is an initial sketch to see how reliable scraping HTML can be for sites that do no expose an API.

It should be enhanced to: * Use XPath rather than relying on the order of the xml sections * Spit out the Fedwiki, and helper code into libraries
