[ddj] [School-of-data] scraping data with a bookmarklet: Convextra

[Michael Bauer]

Scott,

If there is any sort of pagination present Convextra will offer you the
possibility to do pages. This only works for lists with pagination though
(not something where you have a list of links to pages and want to scrape
all subpages).
