umbra

Browser automation via chrome debug protocol

Install

Install via pip from this repo.

Run

"umbra" script should be in bin/. load_url.py takes urls as arguments and puts them onto a rabbitmq queue dump_queue.py prints resources discovered by the browser and sent over the return queue.

On ubuntu, rabbitmq install with sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server should automatically be set up for these three scripts to function on localhost ( the default amqp url ).
