Like JQ, but for HTML
parsel[0] is a python script in front of the identically named python lib, and extracts parts of the HTML by CSS selector. the advantage of it compared to most similar tools is that you can navigate in the DOM tree up and down to find precisely what you want if the HTML is poorly marked up, or the searched parts are not close to each other.

What monitoring tool do you use or recommend?
jq is pretty amazing. If you are comfortable with its jquery-like CSS selector syntax, then I should also mention a couple similar cli utilities that apply it to HTML: htmlp and pup.

Creating a data scraper as a beginner?
Regex is not a great tool for parsing web pages. Open up a browser dev tools window and select a bit of the page. Right click > copy... XPath expression or CSS selector. A proper web scraping tool will accept either of those. No muss, no fuss. You can even use simple command line tools: xpath or pup

Show HN: A tool like jq, but for parsing HTML
This is HTML to JSON, written in Rust, and there's also pup[1] which I found out about just the other day on HN[2] which uses a very similar syntax (CSS selectors) but outputs HTML and is written in Go.
I can see room for both though it would interesting to have a more detailed comparison to go on (e.g. types of HTML, speed etc).
