Extension summary
Creeper is a scraping extension, focusing on list-style web pages. Users don't need to know any knowledge of html and css, although it is better to know them.
Creeper cannot scrape data from all web pages, but only list-style pages. List-style pages have rows, each of which has almost same fields. User need to click html elments to tell Creeper which one is row element, which ones are field element, and which one is paging element. Creeper can then generate a sitemap template guide how to capture these data.
