Scraper

A simple Elixir scraper demo. This logs into a utility account & navigates you to the history page. Just an example of using Elixir/Hound to scrape a website along with some custom Chrome options

# Clone this repo, then:
brew install elixir # installs erlang & elixir
brew install rust # for compiling html5ever
brew install chromedriver
mix local.hex # installs hex

export DOM_USERNAME="username"
export DOM_PASSWORD="password"

mix deps.get # get dependencies

# Compile & run the application
iex -S mix

From the iex REPL:

Scraper.start

# Do your stuff in iex here
# Use recompile() to live recompile changes to your module

Scraper.stop # close browser
