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

[–] DigitalPaperTrail@kbin.social 107 points 1 year ago (2 children)

spite can be a great motivator, though

[–] Anonymousllama@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

This one. One of the best motivators. Sense of satisfaction when you get it working and you feel unstoppable (until the next subtle changes happens anyway)

[–] 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 41 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.

[–] camr_on@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'm coding baby's first bot over here lol, I could probably do better

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just use AI to make changes ¯_(ツ)_/¯
