The scraper takes 2 inputs: an array of Request Options that define the resources to gather, and an array of Extracton Rules to specify what data we're looking for in those resources. For more information on Request Options or Extraction Rules, read the respective docs.
require 'autoload.php';
$rules = 'path/to/rules.json';
$options = [
'foo' => ['URL' => 'https://...']
];
$scraper = new WebScraper($rules);
$result = $scraper->start($options);
