Just came across this, and thought it was a pretty cool tool to self-host. You can use it to monitor price changes, or new events being added, or to check if that out of stock thing is back in stock.
I could never get this to work right nearly every website would fail because of captchas
Depends if your outgoing is a local address or if you’re going through a vpn.
I rarely run into the issue on the former, almost always on the latter.
I think there’s a way to hook a solver on top of it, but I could be mistaken, haven’t done so myself.
Yeah, that’s always a struggle with scraping, lots of sites don’t like it, even if you try and be respectful.
