This web crawler is designed to go to any website you want, and extract and download all the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (JS) files available on that website.

Extract HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from any website

Have you ever want to be able to deconstruct a website? You can do that manually, and save separately the HTML, the CSS files, and the JavaScript files, of course. But this automation will do it for you, organize all the files, and deliver that to your TexAu dashboard in ~10 seconds.

TexAu HTML extractor will extract the HTML, CSS, and JS, or one website, sure, but it can also take lists of 10s of 1,000s of websites, and extract all their code, as easily.

A few use-cases of HTML extraction:

  • Reverse engineer a website. By extracting the source HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files of a website, you can study how it is made. Use it to copy a cool design you see on the web, or look at some competitor’s code.
  • Look for tools and stacks. By exporting a website’s HTML, CSS, and JS, you can now also search within those files. Doing so allows looking for keywords, like: “stripe”, “intercom”, “tailwind”, or any tech or interesting thing you could be after. Services like BuiltWith.com could be remade with TexAu. We have actually a Technology Lookup automation just for that purpose.

What’s your use case? How do you use the HTML and CSS you export?

How to export HTML, CSS, and JS with TexAu?

TexAu makes it easy for you to download the source code of any website with our HTML extractor:

  1. Create a free TexAu account here.
  2. List the profile URLs (or Tweets’ URLs) to auto-like.
  3. Run the automation right away (and schedule it to repeat).

TexAu will connect on your behalf to Twitter, from the cloud, so you don’t have to even think about turning on your computer.

  • Upload a CSV or link a Google Sheet: If you want to extract multiple websites, upload here a .CSV filled with all their URLs, or the address of a Google spreadsheet (don’t forget to make it public, see FAQ below).
  • Launch automation: Click on this button to start the automation.
  • Schedule automation: Schedule this automation to run at a specific time, or to launch multiple times.

If this is your first time using TexAu, we recommend reading the FAQ.

FAQ

Why would I use Google Sheets?

When you want to export multiple websites without having to change the #2 field every time, you can use a Google spreadsheet URL instead.

To do this, simply put every target URLs you want to target in the first column of the sheet like so:

add twitter profile to gsheet

Then make your Google sheet public. Without it, TexAu won’t be able to access it.

How to schedule my automation to launch multiples times?

Automation is not always welcomed. To avoid being suspended, prefer making many small launches over one big launch.

How to download your results?

After you launch your automation, you’ll see TexAu performing its job in the log section. It will look something like that:

Once the launch is over, click “Download CSV” to download your data to a .CSV spreadsheet.

Download your results by clicking “Download CSV”.
