@naval AI without APIs is like a 4-legged stool missing all 4 legs. Technically still a stool, practically useless.

AIs replace UIs and APIs.

@webjuice_ie Interesting. We are also planning to move scrapingdog.com to Kadence Blocks from Elementor.

After 15 years working with WordPress, we finally moved our own agency website away from it. Old setup: WordPress + Elementor + plugins New setup: Astro + Tailwind CSS + clean static architecture The difference is massive: - faster loading - cleaner code - less maintenance - better Core Web Vitals - no plugin bloat - no Elementor drag - AI controlled This is the standard now. If your business website feels slow, bloated, or impossible to improve, it probably doesn’t need another plugin. It needs a rebuild.

Bought a Kindle today. Not for entertainment, but for building a habit. In a world full of noise, the ability to sit, read, and think deeply is becoming rare. Let’s see where this takes me. If you had to recommend just ONE book, what would it be?

We built a web scraping API for data engineers. Someone used it to track flight prices for his entire extended family and WhatsApp alert them when prices drop. Built it in a weekend. Zero scraping experience. That's how you know your abstraction is actually working.

Internet gave us information. Mobile gave us attention. AI gives us reasoning. What will the next wave give us?

The evolution of a web scraper: Week 1: “Just fetch the HTML.” Week 2: Proxies. Week 3: Browser fingerprints. Week 4: “Buy Now” button only appears when the stars align. At this point, you’re not an engineer. You’re an astronomer with a grudge. That’s why we built @scrapingdog.

We just launched a ChatGPT Scraper API at @scrapingdog One API call → clean JSON. Use it to: → Benchmark LLMs (ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Claude) → A/B test prompts at scale → Build AI research datasets → Track how ChatGPT answers in your niche

Why your scraper still gets blocked (even with IP rotation): Modern anti-bot systems don’t care about IPs anymore. They fingerprint your entire browser stack: → TLS → curl vs real Chrome → Canvas/WebGL → headless signals → Mouse movement → bot patterns @Scrapingdog

Anyone have any good ideas on how to scrape Google Search now? 😅 The way I was doing it doesn't work anymore. I'll give you $1k if you DM me something that works

@ryancarson Ahh! same thing happened with us too. Trustpilot is honestly pathetic.

Trustpilot feels like the mob. Me: "I should collect reviews on Trustpilot! It'll help people trust our business more!" Signs up for business account ... Emails users to collect Trustpilot reviews ... Gets amazing 5-start reviews ... Me: "OK, let's put them on the website. Nice." Trustpilot: "Sorry, you have to pay us $299 PER MONTH to put *your* reviews on *your* site" Me: "OMG, seriously? I just want to put a couple nice reviews on my site." Trustpilot: "Actually, if you want to show the actual review, instead of making people click through to our site, you have to pay $1,099/mo". Me: Cancels account What a joke. Someone vibecode this and crush them please.
