Wine Smarties Blog Scraper

Scrapes blog listings and detailed posts from winesmarties.com. The actor first collects the list of available blogs, then optionally fetches the full content for each one. Output is structured data ready for analysis, reporting, or integration into other applications.

Key Features

• Two-Stage Scraping: Fetches the blog list first, then details for each post.
• Filtering & Control: Limit results by count, filter by search term, author, or categories, and specify individual blog URLs.
• Structured Output: Exports data in JSON, HTML, or Plain Text formats for easy use.
• Detail Control: Choose to scrape only the list or include full post content.
