Page fetching

Page fetching from the command line.

Turn a URL into readable text, including pages that need a browser.

For the agenda PDF, the council minutes, the pricing page that renders in JavaScript. One command in, text out, on the same record as everything else.

Four commands

curl -sSL https://gbrainio.terminalwire.sh | bash   # install it
gbrainio login                                      # name this terminal, pick how long it lasts
gbrainio auth grant firecrawl                       # connect the account
gbrainio permission                                 # turn Page fetching on
