How it works
What happens on each run, in plain English.
Every Monday at 07:00, a full-page picture is taken of each web address you list, with adverts and cookie banners hidden, the details you asked for are read off the picture itself, and one row per page is added to your Google Sheet. It suits pages where a plain fetch gets nothing useful.
Each row carries the date, the page address, one cell per detail you asked for and a note. Every page you list gets exactly one row, including the ones that go wrong: a bad address, a page that could not be photographed or a picture with none of your details each produce a row with the detail cells empty and the reason in the note, so an empty cell never looks like a successful read. Nothing is guessed: only what is legible in the picture is written. Rows are only ever appended, so nothing already on the tab is edited or removed.
Before the first run your tab needs a header row of 'Captured on', 'Page', your own field names in the order you list them, then 'Note'.
