New release of shot-scraper with the ability to conveniently run scripts shared on GitHub against web pages in a headless browser https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/25/shot-scraper/

$shot-scraper javascript can now optionally load scripts hosted on GitHub via the new gh: prefix to the shot-scraper javascript -i/--input option. #173 Scripts can be referenced as gh:username/repo/path/to/script.js or, if the GitHub user has created a dedicated shot-scraper-scripts repository and placed scripts in the root of it, using gh:username/name-of-script. For example, to run this readability.js script against any web page you can use the following: shot-scraper javascript --input gh:simonw/readability \ https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/24/qwen25-vl-32b/ The output from that example starts like this: { "title": "Qwen2.5-VL-32B: Smarter and Lighter", "byline": "Simon Willison", "dir": null, "lang": "en-gb",$
