Looking for some selfhosted webscanner/scraper
hi, i'm kinda out of ideas -maybe you know some selfhostable solution.
I want to monitor some of my pages for gdpr compliance and have reports on that.
So far i tried selenium container with k6, i tried selenium locally with some Python automation and even gave phantomJS with webXray a try. In any case sth. is missing...like selenium wont grab the thirdparty cookies, webxray code has outdated Python and so on.
You guys have any suggestion on how i could selfhost my own automated toolset to check entire webpages for all cookies and thirdpartyscripts? Ppl make changes which might have impact on the gdpr compliance and i dont want to check manually. How would you do it selfhosted?

The EDPS open-sourced a cookie inspection tool:

oh wow...how did Google not suggest this to me? thanks mate.
edit: got i running...works like a charm. just great. thanks so much.
You are welcome :)
You could try Puppeteer, but I don't know if you can check third party cookies.
Also I can recommend using Apache Airflow for automation. It is like a fancy crontab with a webui and email notifications, and lots of other stuff.
thanks. was thinking about airflow or n8n for automation but i still cant find a way to check the thirdpartycookies. someone wrote firefoxwebdriver could do it but you'd need to extract from the profile an stuff...nothing really worked.
Check out nuclei or maybe greenbone.
those look exciting! thank you very much.
