Re:Ferret – Declarative web scraping by bryanrasmussen on Tuesday October 02, 2018 @02:51PM (#18124536)
yes but I think it could be made truly declarative with very little work. take out the waits, and maybe not carry around the doc all over the place - the context of the page being processed should be figured out by the interpreter.

on edit: although the web interfaces being what they are some things need to be order dependent - like INPUT(google, 'input[name="q"]', "ferret") CLICK(google, 'input[name="btnK"]'), I mean you need to click the button after you fill out the input.
