I installed it but It didn’t get me data I needed. I am still gonna use parsehub which allows me to easily go up and down in the html tree to get data hidden under layers of divs.

Yeah, that would be really helpful. I want to monitor careers pages of all local companies in the Crunchbase NYC geo in order to help candidates search for local companies by keywords (eg C#). We have an API already (syncs with Algolia) to receive the jobs, with unique key on each job’s URI; and we wouldn’t want to scrape more than once per day.
Would love to use that if/when you get it working.
It's quite a daunting project, but if you want to join the @codeforcash on Keybase, would definitely welcome support.
