Contributing

1. If you want to add a new scraper, your best bet is to contribute it to hhursev/recipe-scrapers. When they update their library, I get a notification and update to the latest version.

2. If you want to fix a bug in an existing scraper, again, your best bet is to do it in hhursev/recipe-scrapers

3. You can also add or modify scrapers here. These override code from hhursev/recipe-scrapers. If you want to do that, your PR should have exactly two files: parsers/__init__.py and add a new class in the parsers/ directory. Here is an example.

4. If you want to make any other modification or refactor: create an issue and ask prior to making your PR.

5. I don't guarantee that I will keep this repo up to date, or that I will respond in any sort of timely fashion! Your best bet for any change is to keep PRs small and focused on the minimum changeset possible.
