This site exists to demonstrate some basic scraping techniques, as well as provide examples of real world challenges that scraper authors often encounter.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>While other sites with a similar purpose exist, they often omit some of the common complications that can arise in scraping. The eventual goal of this site is to serve as a test suite of sorts for handling edge cases.

<p>This site is the work of <a href="https://jamesturk.net">James Turk</a>. James has been getting paid to write web scrapers for over 10 years, mainly on the <a href="https://openstates.org">Open States</a> project. This work is created independently of any employer, past or present.</p>
