🚗 What can car-building teach us about web scraping? More than you might think! Imagine trying to build the world's best car by assembling the "best" parts from different vehicles. Sounds great, right? But in reality, you'd end up with a clunky machine that barely runs. This is often how web scraping is approached: Best proxy manager? Check. Top-notch JavaScript renderer? Got it. Cutting-edge parsing tool? Of course! But are these "best" tools giving us the best system? Or are we constantly playing catch-up with website changes and anti-bot measures? Join us today for an eye-opening fireside chat with our CEO, Shane Evans, as he discusses: 1. The evolution of web scraping tools 2. The birth of web scraping APIs 3. Why now is the time to rethink your web scraping approach Add event to your calendar-https://lnkd.in/gmTP9qnn Don't miss this opportunity to learn how you can transform your data extraction capabilities with a more unified, efficient approach. #WebScraping #DataExtraction #ZyteAPI #TechInnovation #scrapy

🚀 Join us for a journey through the evolution of session management in web data extraction! 🚀 We are bringing the exclusive `Mastering Session Management Series` to the Extract Data Discord Community. This is a four-part series with the first one happening this week. 7 Aug-  Past, present and future of session management. 21 Aug- The Power of Cookies and Client-Managed Sessions. 4 Sep - Server-managed sessions-explore their benefits, limitations and usage.  18 Sep- Advanced Session Management with Scrapy: optimize your session pools for maximum efficiency. Session in web scraping is a set of request conditions (IP address, cookie jar, network stack, etc.) that, when shared by two or more requests, make those requests seem part of an organic web browsing session. Web scraping developers need sessions for handling bans and lowering costs by making fewer requests. Curious, about how session management has transformed over the years? From the early days of basic web scraping scripts to the sophisticated, automated tools we use today, session management has come a long way. In this first event, we will: 🔍 Explore the Challenges faced by early web scrapers.  🔧 Discover Modern Solutions that make session management seamless and efficient.  🔮 Get a Glimpse into the Future of session management and learn how to stay ahead of the curve. Adrian Chaves, senior developer at Zyte and part of the Dev experience team, will be running this week’s Extract Data Wednesday Ritual Event on Past, Present, and Future of Session Management in Web Data Extraction.  📅 Date: 7 Aug 2024  🕒 Time: 14:00 GMT 🔗 Link - https://lnkd.in/gmAFp26Y
