A subreddit for web scrappers
I recently realized that I am in love with Data Scraping. Thanks to Python and Beautifulsoup to get me into this. In past few months I have scraped data from sites like Amazon, Rakuten and NewEgg. I have started a subreddit for developers who love to scrap sites for fun( or for work). I named it Scraping the Web. You can join here and submit your entries. Happy Scraping!
