Grab HTML data

This rule below will add to mongodb collection "images" the value of src attribute for all tag img. The context-attr is also added as images metadata.

collection: "images"
tag: "img"
attr: "src"
context-attr: "alt"

You can also grab html attributes with a selector instead of tag.

collection: "images-test"
selector: "img[data-src]"
attr: "data-src"
context-attr: "alt"
