# Wait extra time for JavaScript content (useful for SPAs)
pagesource https://example.com --wait 5

# Include external resources (CDN assets, third-party scripts)

Arguments:
  url                     URL of the webpage to capture resources from

Output Structure

Resources are saved preserving the URL path structure:

        style.css
      js/
        app.js
