what do they do that makes it so hard?
- eastendguy 8y agoThey (randomly?) change IDs and the DOM structure, and thus break scripts. One workaround is to automate visually (KantuX, Sikuli,...) but that is much slower and makes only sense for low-volume scraping.
- epmaybe 8y agoThey randomize the tag ids and classes a lot of the time. At least that has been my experience with the Facebook messenger website.
- slow_donkey 8y agoIf you're doing messenger, there's a community api that emulates the browser on github
