scrape method

Future<Map<String, Object>> scrape({ required Uri url, ScraperConfig? scraperConfig, ScraperConfigMap? scraperConfigMap, bool debug = false, String? html, Map<String, String>? overrideCookies, Map<String, String>? overrideHeaders, String? overrideUserAgent, ProxyAPIConfig? overrideProxyAPIConfig, })

Performs complete web scraping including HTML fetching and data extraction.

This is the main method that orchestrates the entire scraping process:

1. If scraperConfig is provided, it will be used.
2. If scraperConfig is not provided, scraperConfigMap will be used to find the appropriate scraper configuration for the URL
3. If no scraper configuration is provided, throw an error
4. Fetches the HTML content (if required)
5. Parses the HTML using the configured parsers and returns the extracted data as a map

Parameters:

• url: The URL to scrape
• scraperConfig: Scraper configuration for the URL
• scraperConfigMap: Map of domain names to lists of scraper configurations
• debug: Enable debug logging (default: false)
• html: Pre-fetched HTML document (optional, avoids HTTP request if provided)
• overrideCookies: Custom cookies to include in HTTP requests, will override cookies in scraper config
• overrideHeaders: Custom HTTP headers to include in requests, will override headers in scraper config
• overrideUserAgent: Custom user agent string (overrides scraper config setting)
• overrideProxyAPIConfig: Custom proxy API configuration (overrides scraper config setting for base requests and http parser requests)

Returns:

• Map containing extracted data with parser IDs as keys

Throws:

• WebScraperError if URL is not supported or scraping fails
