What this Pull request does is: 1) update the script to run chrome in headless mode. Whether chrome or firefox will be run is in accordance to the users choice.

2)update the readme instruction accordingly

3)Give more concise details in the user.txt and pass.txt file as to whats to be done there.

Actually I did some research on working with headless chrome. There I fond out that to run headless chrome in windows we need to use '--disable-gpu'. This is not necessary in linux distros but since the script is meant for both windows and linux I included the option. I could have put it under an if platform.system()=='Windows' but it will work fine just as it is so that is the way I did, And for the experiment option I read somewhere in stackoverflow that if you ever want to make an '.exe' file out of the script then this experiment arguments help. I can remove it if you want me to. I am attaching a relevant screenshot.

In Grab_that_article_on_Medium.py https://github.com/NITDgpOS/Medium_Grabber/pull/18#discussion_r239325702 :

  • print( """Choose the browser you want to use:(Enter the appropriate number)\n
  • 1---> firefox \n
  • 2---> chrome \n
  • 0--->exit""")
  • choice = int(input())
  • if choice==1:
  • options = Options()
  • options.headless = True
  • driver = webdriver.Firefox(options=options)
  • break
  • elif choice==2:
  • options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
  • options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["ignore-certificate-errors"])
  • options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
  • options.add_argument('--headless')

Are these arguments necessary? And that experimental option?
