This is just like the Count in Sesame Street, but instead of a vampire, it’s a Shortcuts action.
Repeat with Each
Takes a list of items as input, and runs the contained actions once for each item in the list.
Get Contents of Web Page
Extracts the contents of the web pages passed into the action.
Save File
