2: Scrape Updates

Preparing the Scraping Session

Within screen-scraper, you'll want to disable the Initialize scraping session script; otherwise, the value we pass in will get overwritten when the script is executed.

Disable the script by clicking on the Hello World scraping session, then on the General tab, then un-check the Enabled check box for the script.

Logging

Each time you run a scraping session externally screen-scraper will generate a log file corresponding to that scraping session in the log folder found inside the directory where you installed screen-scraper. This can be invaluable for debugging, so you'll want to take a look at it if you run into trouble.

You can turn server logging off by unchecking the Generate log files check box under the Servers section of the settings dialog box.
