Scrape your Workamajig tasks

Instructions:

• clone this repo and run with npm start (or pnpm start) navigate to:

  http:localhost:3333?un={your wam username or email (-.com)}&pw={wam password}&name={whatever you'd like it to call you}

  • when inputting your email address, do not include the .com in the email (because it sometimes breaks the link)
  • the name parameter is optional, but a nice touch, if you ask me ;)

• Once it's running you can just press the refresh button to reload the latest tasks

If you have trouble with port conflicts just update the dev script in the package.json to say --port {desired port}

Chromedriver

A chromedriver is no longer needed to run the headless browser, but if you do need it, it can be downloaded from the following link: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

This chromedriver, when downloaded and unzipped, must be placed somewhere where you $PATH environment variable can find it. The natural place is /usr/bin/.

tip: for easy access you can alias in your .rc file to start the server up with a command. For example:

alias tasks=cd /Users/{username}/path/to/scraper && npm run dev
