Constantly Breaking Scrapers
Scrapers constantly break due to site layout changes, anti-bot defenses, and schema drift, forcing costly manual maintenance.
In their words
every venue with a 4mb hero video timed out. two days of that and a client asking why tuesdays events were missing.
ran agent scrapers past 15 on browserbase for months, timeouts not crashes
Ein Teil der Daten, die wir darüber bezogen haben, war eigentlich öffentlich verfügbar, nur mühsam zusammenzusuchen.
Estimated 1 week for web data extraction. 3 weeks later I'm still fighting Cloudflare.
the hard part isn’t scraping one page, it’s dealing with logins, layout changes, rate limits, and bad data
The best one we've found yet is a kinda of white label solution from a company. But they charge like 30k + some monthly fee.
I got a contracting job where I need to extract information from websites. Doing it myself would be extremely time consuming.
the visual nodes are amazing for the happy path and genuinely miserable the second you need anything custom
the only part i genuinely can't replicate in an afternoon is the data side: a real index over the open web, not getting blocked at scale, clean extraction that doesn't dump nav/footer junk into my context.
the output I am getting is garbage: hallucinating URLs in the output, skipping sections etc.
Ideally I would like our business to not be so fickle and have the risk of crumbling if we get blocked or asked to stop.
Fetch quarterly reports of listed companies from various websites and log that data into a sheet.
We've spent significant time dealing with brittle scrapers that break silently and cause data quality issues downstream.
I still haven't found a way to deal with rotating residential IPs however, and most likely never will.

Why those fall short
- No JA3/JA4 control, no real browser behavior, hard to version or run locally
- no CMS plugin; third-party scripts raise privacy and qualification concerns
- schema check catches changed shape, nothing when shape fine and values junk
- IP blocking useless; blocking bots removes AI referral traffic; rules need constant upkeep
- Non-deterministic output, hallucinated URLs, skipped sections; per-site trimmers a maintenance nightmare
