A practical course in web scraping for technical people who need data — selectors, sessions, rate-limiting, anti-bot strategy, and the legal and ethical frame that keeps scraping a working tool rather than a liability.
Get notifiedSee featuresThe features that make Web Scraping Academy useful day-to-day.
Selector technique — CSS, XPath, structural patterns that survive small DOM changes. The choice between brittle and robust isn't accident; it's a craft.
Sessions, cookies, rate-limiting — the boring infrastructure that turns a one-off scraper into a working tool. The polite-scraper handbook.
Anti-bot strategy — fingerprinting awareness, residential vs datacentre IPs, headed vs headless tradeoffs. Where the cat-and-mouse stops being technique and starts being adversarial.
Legal and ethical frame — robots.txt, terms-of-service, copyright, GDPR. The questions to ask before scraping a target, and the boundaries worth respecting.
Built for the people who'll actually use it, not for tick-box procurement.
Designed for daily use, not enterprise checkbox compliance. The features that matter, none of the ones that don't.
Hosted on our own servers in Estonia. No US-jurisdiction tracking, no third-party analytics, no data sales.
