you scrape WITH BASH?
someone's never used a good api. like mastodon
It’s all fun and games until you have to support all this shit and it breaks weekly!
That being said, I do miss the simplicity of maintaining selenium projects for work
I use scrapy. It has a steeper learning curve than other libraries, but it's totally worth it.
Ok then make a spotify scraper
Let me introduce you to WooB (formerly WEBooB).
Why on earth would they have changed that. WEBooB is a way better name.
But it's got boob in it.
Let's see what WEI (if implemented ) will do with the scrapers. The future doesn't look promising.
What's that?
A google/chrome proposal for browser verification, i.e. killing addons and custom browsers.
Nice name, beat me to it
My undergrad project was a scraper - there just wasn’t a name for it yet,
Scrapers have been a thing since the web exists.
One of the first search engines is even called WebCrawler
That's why I use geddit
I really hope Libreddit switches to scraping, the "Error: Too many request" thing is so annoying, I have to click the redirect button in Libredirect like 20 times until I can actually see a post.
Still a better experience than Reddits official site tho.
Sorry, I'm ignorant in this matter. Why exactly would you want to scrape websites aside from collecting data for ML? What kind of irreplaceable API are you using? Someone please educate me here.
API might cost a lot of money for the amount of requests you want to send. API may not include some fields in the data you want. API is rate limited, scraping might not be. API requires agreement to usage terms, scraping does not (though the recent LinkedIn scraping case might weaken that argument.)
