This actor scrapes WordPress blog posts of one or more websites, cleans the HTML content, and pushes flattened JSON data (collects all data it can find in the post). It uses Selenium to handle pages requiring JavaScript rendering.
WordPress Scraper Actor
The WordPress Scraper Actor allows you to easily scrape content from (multiple) WordPress websites, including blogs, articles, author details, and media. It uses the WordPress REST API, Requests library and if necessary Selenium for accurate data extraction. Only works on WP sites that accept REST API calls

- Uses REST API and Selenium for complete data extraction.
- Outputs cleaned HTML content as plain text in JSON format.
- Supports pagination for comprehensive scraping.

The actor takes a single or multiple website URLs as input, interacts with the REST API to gather data, and uses Selenium to handle JavaScript-rendered pages. The scraped data is cleaned and formatted as structured JSON.
