Summary
This tutorial guides users through creating an application using Strapi, a popular open-source Node.js framework for building APIs. The application is designed to scrape website data from jamstack.org and store it in a database. The process involves setting up the Strapi project, defining a content type for the scraper, coding the logic to fetch and insert site generators into the database, and configuring cron jobs to execute the scraping task at specified intervals. The tutorial also covers error handling and updating the scraper's report and errors log.
