Helena is a Chrome extension that can help automate repetitive interactions with well-structured webpages. A user can demonstrate how to scrape the first row of a dataset, and Helena will write a program for scraping the next hundreds or thousands of rows. Helena is also the name of the web automation language that the Helena extension uses. See http://helena-lang.org/ for an overview of the Helena project. Can I see Helena in action? Sure! Here's a very quick video demo: Can I use Helena if I don't know how to code? Yes! In fact Helena is designed especially for non-programmers. The idea is that you provide a demonstration of the actions you want Helena to do, and Helena figures out the rest. How do I install Helena?
