SelectorGadget is an open-source bookmarklet and Chrome extension that generates CSS selectors for page elements through point-and-click selection and rejection. It helps users discover minimal CSS selectors on complicated sites for use in scraping, styling, and testing.
Use cases
- generate css selectors for web scraping
- find css selector for an element on a page
- inspect javascript-generated dom structures
- build selectors for beautiful soup or nokogiri scraping
- create selectors for selenium tests
- target specific elements in css styling
When to choose
- you need to quickly derive CSS selectors for scraping or testing without hand-writing them
- you work with dynamic sites where DOM inspection is tedious
- you want a lightweight bookmarklet or browser extension
When to avoid
- you need XPath selectors rather than CSS selectors
- you need automated headless selector generation in a CI pipeline
- you need a full browser DevTools replacement
