Everyone loves the idea of scraping, no one likes maintaining scrapers that break once a week because the CSS or HTML changed.

[–] camr_on@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I loved scraping until my ip was blocked for botting lol. I know there's ways around it it's just work though

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I successfully scraped millions of Amazon product listings simply by routing through TOR and cycling the exit node every 10 seconds.

[–] camr_on@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

That's a good idea right there, I like that

[–] AlecStewart1st@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

This guy scrapes

[–] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lmao, yeah, get all the exit nodes banned from amazon.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s the neat thing, it wouldn’t because traffic only spikes for 10s on any particular node. It perfectly blends into the background noise.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Queue Office Space style error and scrape for 10 hours on each node.

Or in the case of wikipedia, every table on successive pages for sequential data is formatted differently.
