8 years ago So... how do I use this?

8 years ago When you have the story object, call get_chapter_text(). This will populate a dictionary in the story object called chapter_texts, where the key is the chapter (starting from 1) and the value is the chapter itself. There's a lot of HTML formatting in there though... If a chapter couldn't be gotten (because of bad sockets or whatever) it just skips it, and the key isn't in the dictionary.

8 years ago I don't have a story object. This seems complicated. All I really want is the full text, don't care about chapters.

8 years ago The full text is going to just be all of the chapters together. The actual function that gets the chapter texts is first scrapePage.openStoryPage(url), followed by an indexer. Each of the chapters is a different URL so I had to do them one at a time.
Story object is because that's where it just seemed to make the most sense in the framework that I'd already made. If you want you can just change all of the arguments except for the storyID to be optional, or just try and call the function directly...

Now supports getting the text of the story, extended from the Story class. Should probably put a different init function in, where you give it all of the information to begin with instead of scraping it from the page.
