I recently started up FreshRSS in my docker environment. I was super excited about the web scraping feature.
Now that I’m setting it up, it looks like that it is able to scrape single web pages, but I am unable to figure out how to get it to crawl into the actual article to scrape the full content.
Is anyone aware of how to do this.
For example, runescape.com/m=news/
This page has a list of articles with a thumbnail, title, category, date, and a short description of the article. Would it be possible for FreshRSS to crawl into the article link and scrape the contents within?

I haven’t tried it yet and it depends on an outside service, but maybe https://morss.it/ can help?
