Demo

// Create the MasterScrape object it defaults to America Region, Chrome Browser, 
// & all memberships are default false (it is better to set them), 
// but you can still change them outside of the constructor & debug mode is disabled by default.
// There is no default StockStatusFilter
MasterScrape Scrape = new MasterScrape(StockStatusFilter.EXCLUDE_NONE_FILTER);
scrape.Region = Region.Canada;
scrape.Browser = Browser.FireFox;
scrape.Filter = StockstatusFilter.EXCLUDE_OOS_AND_PO_FILTER;
scrape.IsBooksAMillionMember = false;
scrape.IsKinokuniyaUSAMember = true;
scrape.IsIndigoMember = false;

// Alternativly you can do everything in the constructor 
// Chaining Regions like so "Region.America | Region.Britain" 
//will not work you can only scrape against one region at a time
MasterScrape Scrape = new MasterScrape(
    Filter: StockStatusFilter.EXCLUDE_NONE_FILTER, 
    Region: Region.Britain, 
    Browser: Browser.Edge, 
    IsBooksAMillionMemnber: false, 
    IsKinokuniyaUSAMember: false, 
    IsIndigoMember: true
);

// You can enable debug mode which will log to files if you have the NLog file
// You can enable persistent webdriver, which will prevent a webdriver from being created and disposed 
// for every website where a WebDriver is needed. This could possibley lead to memory issues 
// it might be a good idea to perform some cleanup for browser executables in the end
MasterScrape Scrape = new MasterScrape(
    Filter: StockStatusFilter.EXCLUDE_NONE_FILTER, 
    Region: Region.Britain, 
    Browser: Browser.Edge, 
    IsBooksAMillionMemnber: false, 
    IsKinokuniyaUSAMember: false, 
    IsIndigoMember: true
)
.EnableDebugMode()
.EnablePersistentWebDriver();

Initializating Scrape

// Initialize the Scrape using strings
await scrape.InitializeScrapeAsync(
    title: "one piece",
    bookType: BookType.Manga,
    scrape.GenerateWebsiteList([ RobertsAnimeCornerStore.WEBSITE_TITLE, Crunchyroll.WEBSITE_TITLE ]),
);

// Initialize the Scrape using enums
await scrape.InitializeScrapeAsync(
    title: "one piece",
    bookType: BookType.Manga,
    [ Website.RobertsAnimeCornerStore, Website.Crunchyroll ],
);

// Initialize the Scrape using params
await scrape.InitializeScrapeAsync(
    title: "one piece",
    bookType: BookType.Manga,
    Website.RobertsAnimeCornerStore,
    Website.Crunchyroll,
);

Getting Results

// Get Final data Results
List<EntryModel> resultData = scrape.GetResults();
Dictionary<string, string> resultUrls = scrape.GetResultsUrls();

// Print final result data either to console, logger, or file (can be printed in a ascii table format)
scrape.PrintResultsToConsole(true, "world trigger", BookType.Manga);
scrape.PrintResultToLogger(LOGGER, NLog.LogLevel.Info);
scrape.PrintResultsToFile("FinalData.txt");

// Example AsciiTable Format Output
Title: "world trigger"
BookType: Manga
Region: America
