I was asking for the scraping code, nione how it works. Last year I was doing scraping with some laravel package. Na haikunibamba, so nataka kuona how node does its magic
PHP is underpowered currently when it comes to scraping.
Python and Node rule scraping world currently, previously ilikua perl. Advantage ya kutumia Python or Node is Web drivers( python ikona Selenium na node puppeteer). These enable you to emulate a real browser so that js rendered content is available, now that every frontend is being done is some js framework.
Hakuna private code hapo though. If I scrape a publicly available website then I can use/save/share or even sell that data in fair use. Scraping doesn’t mean you have accessed backend logic ya site, it merely collects the visible/presented info in a structured way.
LinkedIn tried to sue this company HiQ which was scraping and monetising data from LinkedIn but failed
