# How to build from source

1. Delete the "PersonalUtilities" project from the solution.
1. Delete the "PersonalUtilities.Notifications" project from the solution.
1. The following libraries must be added to project references with the '**Copy to output folder**' option:
  - ```PersonalUtilities.dll```
  - ```PersonalUtilities.Notifications.dll```
  - ```Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications.dll```
  - ```System.ValueTuple.dll```
1. Import PersonalUtilities.Functions for the whole project.

**Always use the correct libraries. You must download libraries from the same release date as the code commit date.**

# How to request a new site

1. Check [issues](https://github.com/AAndyProgram/SCrawler/issues) (open and [closed](https://github.com/AAndyProgram/SCrawler/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed)) and [discussions](https://github.com/AAndyProgram/SCrawler/discussions) to find your issue. Perhaps I have already answered your request.
1. If you don't find anything, create a new issue with your request. I usually reply as soon as possible (within the next few hours).

# Requirements for new site requests

**Attention! I'll add a new site only if I'm interested. I also have a life, and any development takes time.**

- Post a link to the site's API
- Post request URLs **without OAuth** authentication
- Post a **complete cURL** request which provides the required information (JSON is better)

**I don't use OAuth authentication** in my application, so if it's not too hard to make a new parsing algorithm **without OAuth** authorization, I can start developing it in the coming days. Otherwise, I need time to figure out how to do it.

If I'm interested in a site you want to add, it may be added in future releases.

# Sites I will never develop

- Facebook

# Sites requested by users

- TikTok
  - API for receiving data without authorization was not found. Therefore, I don't have time to start developing this site parsing algorithm. If anyone knows of requests that may collect data without OAuth authentication, please let me know.
