I've been using WebGrab+Plus for some time now and I still use it to scrape my TV Guide, however, I'm currently developing a personal website for runners, which will list all the running events an going in a specific area.
I'm needing to scrape information from 2 websites and have them in XML to allow me to have them auto imported into MYSQL, I'm wondering if WebGrab+Plus will be able to help me with this if i have the .ini file setup correctly.
I understand the default XML format is shown below.
<programme start="20171115070000 +0000" stop="20171115072500 +0000" channel="ITV3 +1">
<title lang="en">On the Buses</title>
<desc lang="en">Sitcom about a two-man bus crew. Stan spends a week's wages on a girlfriend, only to discover that Olive and Mum have spent 50 pounds themselves</desc>

</programme>
Is this easily changed, can i set custom nodes? An example would be like below; (If custom nodes cannot be created, i could make do with existing nodes)
