WebScraper

Web scraping is the process of extracting data from websites.

XMPro provides a convenient Context Provider that can be used to retrieve slow-changing contextual data from a website to a data stream, which is useful for Data Mining. The Agent utilizes the IronWebScraper plugin, which uses CSS Selectors to isolate the data.
