⚄︎ Perchance
This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.
Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)
This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.
See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.
- We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (

- You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
- We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

What you're asking for is an automation tool called a "web crawler" or "spider" (IT guys love their jokes). Just a heads up, websites have a million reasons why they don't like such tools and will very likely block your ability to do it easily.
Here's one for Wikipedia. No clue if it's baked in for just the main site or if you can use other wikis: https://janus-tg.github.io/Araneae/
If you want to do it right, learn python and have fun! There are scripts to pull web text contents, then you can truncate the parts you don't want like the header, page tabs, and reference footer using string-parsing functions.
I'm currently in the process of making a script that gets every available URL from a website. It's been done a hundred times before, but I'm doing it for learning.
OP, you should look into BeautifulSoup for Python. It would be a starting point for you. That will give you the full HTML of the webpage.
