📌Hey fellow hunters! My name is Anthony, and I am thrilled to finally launch my bootstrapped product, ScrapeNinja.net, on ProductHunt. If you have ever tried to extract useful data from a random website on a regular basis, you know it might be a tedious task. You need to figure out how to retrieve the website response, then parse the HTML and extract content from it, test everything thoroughly, and ensure it runs smoothly in production. Internet is full of online tutorials "how to do web scraping in Python" but in reality, websites are becoming increasingly difficult to scrape, especially if you want to extract the data continuously and you don't want to fix your web scraper every day, dealing with retries, proxies, and running headless browsers. This is where ScrapeNinja comes into play: it handles all the complexity of running headless browsers, HTML parsing, and proxy rotation, and provides a simple API to use it. As I built web scrapers and spent countless hours setting up new projects, repeating the same data extraction and proxy testing process, I built ScrapeNinja to make my life easier, and now ScrapeNinja is ready to help others to run web scrapers faster and with less headache.
I will sincerely appreciate your feedback on ScrapeNinja website design and, what's more important, your experience building web scrapers in ScrapeNinja Sandbox, and using its API. Cheers!

@pixeljetter Congratulations on the launch! For people who want to know some statistical data, ScrapeNinja.net will be a very useful product. I'm wondering if the underlying technology of this product is also based on Python web scraping?

Great job on getting ScrapeNinja on Product Hunt!
I've only got a single question. What motivated you to create it?

@new_user_126293be17 thank you! My major motivation was my laziness, I was tired of solving the same scraping related tasks again and again :)

@nick_harrision web scraping might be useful for most of companies, it's particularly useful in lead generation automation, we just need to brainstorm :)

Clio Image Maker for Whatsapp & TelegramLooks neat! Congrats on the launch!
If I may suggest something - could you perhaps make that terminal animation on the front page type faster? I almost gave up and closed the tab before the third example (which is the really neat one)

BlazeSQLCool product! You mentioned that websites are becoming increasingly difficult to scrape, and I've experienced this firsthand through various projects over the past years.
Google has been by far one of the most difficult to get around - is that something scrapeninja can handle? Ex. scraping google image or google search results.

Coronavirus Near MeInteresting product. In addition to scraping, is there a way to categorize the results? For example, this was scraped from the landing page, or this is a testimonial, or this is a feature or benefit, etc.
If there is content categorization, we might have a use case for it.
