Command Line Interface

Since v0.3, Scrapling includes a powerful command-line interface that provides three main capabilities:

1. Interactive Shell: An interactive Web Scraping shell based on IPython that provides many shortcuts and useful tools
2. Extract Commands: Scrape websites from the terminal without any programming
3. Utility Commands: Installation and management tools

# Launch interactive shell
scrapling shell

# Convert the content of a page to markdown and save it to a file
scrapling extract get "https://example.com" content.md

# Get help for any command
