About chromedp examples
This folder contains a variety of code examples for working with
chromedp. The package documentation contains a number of simple
examples which are self-contained, while this repository holds more complex
examples which tend to require internet access or external components.
Please note that these examples may break occassionally. Additionally, since these examples are written for specific websites, there is a good chance that the current selectors, etc. break after the website they are written against changes.
While every effort is made to ensure that these examples are kept up-to-date, it is expected that the examples made available here may occasionally break.
To file issues, use the chromedp's issue tracker.

Contributing
Pull Requests and contributions to this project are encouraged and greatly
welcomed! The chromedp project always needs new examples, and needs talented
developers (such as yourself!) to submit fixes for the existing examples when
they break (for example, when a website's layout/HTML changes).
