### Online Targets
Jitenbot will scrape the target website and save the pages to the [user's cache directory](https://pypi.org/project/platformdirs/).
As a courtesy to the website owners, jitenbot is configured to pause for 10 seconds between each page request. Consequently,
a complete crawl of a target website may take several hours.
### Offline Targets
Page data and image data must be supplied by the user and passed to jitenbot via the appropriate command line flags.
