CLI to download websites' actual JS/CSS/assets (not flattened HTML)
A Python CLI tool that captures all resources loaded by a webpage (like browser DevTools Sources tab) and saves them with the original directory structure.
pip install pagesource
# IMPORTANT: Install Playwright browser after package installation
playwright install chromium
# Capture all resources from a webpage
pagesource https://example.com
This will save all resources to ./pagesource_output/ with the directory structure preserved.
# Specify custom output directory
pagesource https://example.com -o ./my-output
# Wait extra time for JavaScript content (useful for SPAs)
pagesource https://example.com --wait 5
# Include external resources (CDN assets, third-party scripts)
pagesource https://example.com --include-external
# Combine options
pagesource https://example.com -o ./output --wait 3 --include-external
pagesource <url> [OPTIONS]
Arguments:
url URL of the webpage to capture resources from
Options:
-o, --output PATH Output directory (default: ./pagesource_output)
-w, --wait INTEGER Additional seconds to wait after page load
-e, --include-external Include external resources (CDN, third-party)
-v, --version Show version and exit
--help Show help message
Resources are saved preserving the URL path structure:
pagesource_output/
└── example.com/
├── index.html
├── assets/
│ ├── css/
│ │ └── style.css
│ └── js/
│ └── app.js
└── images/
└── logo.png
If --include-external is used, external resources are saved in their own host directories:
pagesource_output/
├── example.com/
│ └── ...
├── cdn.example.com/
│ └── libs/
│ └── library.js
└── fonts.googleapis.com/
└── css/
└── font.css
