Scrape session titles
For a given list of Apple Developer session URLs, this will iterate through each, grabbing the name of the webpage, cleaning it up, and reformatting it into a Markdown list before copying that to your clipboard.
Actions
Repeat with Each
Takes a list of items as input, and runs the contained actions once for each item in the list.
If
Tests if a condition is true, and if so, runs the actions inside. Otherwise, the actions under “Otherwise” are run.

Get Contents of Web Page

Get Name

Match Text
Searches text passed into the action for matches to a regular expression.
Get Group from Matched Text
Gets the text that matched a particular capture group or all of the capture groups from the output of a Match Text action.
Get Text from Input
Returns text from the previous action’s output.
For example, this action can get the name of a photo or song, or the text of a web page.
Combine Text
Joins text together, inserting the separator between each join.
