May maliit akong online store kaya laking tulong na matuto kung paano mag-scrape ng presyo ng mga kakompetensya nang automatic. Ang linaw ng pagkakapaliwanag kung paano kunin ang data mula sa mga product page at ilagay sa isang spreadsheet para madaling i-monitor. Gusto ko rin ang bahagi tungkol sa pag-iwas na ma-block habang nag-scrape, kasi dati lagi akong na-ba-banned. Sana lang mas marami pang halimbawa para sa mga site na puro JavaScript, pero okay na okay naman ang natutunan ko. Talagang inirerekomenda ko ito sa mga may tindahan online.

У меня небольшой интернет-магазин, и отслеживать цены конкурентов вручную было настоящим кошмаром. После этого курса я собрал бота, который сам обходит сайты и складывает цены в таблицу каждое утро. Особенно понравилось, как подробно разобрали обход защиты от парсинга и работу с динамическими страницами — раньше я на этом всё время спотыкался. Объяснения про селекторы и про то, как не нарваться на блокировку, очень пригодились. Теперь я первым узнаю, когда конкурент роняет цену, и успеваю отреагировать. Реально полезная штука для бизнеса.
