See the config directory for example configurations
npm install -g scrape-to-swagger
scrape-to-swagger --config ./config/product-hunt.js --output ./output/product-hunt.swagger.json --verbose
The configuration file tells scrape-to-swagger how to retrieve each piece of the swagger document from the HTML.

Selectors are passed to cheerio, which is based on jQuery.
The selector object takes four parameters:
- selector - a CSS selector. This will be applied as parent.find(selector), where the parent is the element in the hierarchy above (or <body> if none)
- regex - A regular expression for extracting the field from the text inside the selector
- regexIndex - The index of the matched items to use (default=1, i.e. it will capture the first thing you put in parens)
- join - If true, join all the elements matched by the selector
- split - If true, include all siblings of the element matched by the selector, up until the next match of the selector
fixPathParameters
a function for converting to Swagger-style parameters, e.g. from /users/:username to /users/{username}
