Data extraction: https://simplescraper.io A project that I launched on HN that became a business. Simplescraper rode the no-code wave of a few years back ('instant structured data without parsing html'). Now working on increasing the surface area for AI agents: MCP support, screenshots API, and (experimentally) x402^ ^ https://simplescraper.io/blog/x402-payment-protocol/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Using a pool of reliable IP addresses so you don't encounter checkboxes or turnstiles โ best I run a web scraping startup (https://simplescraper.io) and this is usually the approach.

Similar to how http://ssokolow.com/quicktile/ is a Sphinx-based site hosted on GitHub Pages and automatically regenerated from the pushed sources. Source: about 4 years ago
I've been using ssokolow.com/quicktile for this purpose, it does what I need and doesn't replace the wm. Source: over 4 years ago
The best I could do for the API documentation for this project of mine was to use the automodule directive to autogenerate at the coarsest level possible and remember to never create new .py files if I could possibly avoid it. Source: about 5 years ago
