Possibly one more item is "scraping to gather analytics and trends", the revenue comes from using machine learning to predict trends based on the scraped data from social media, news etc... in most cases the raw data isn't as valuable as the patterns or predictions you can see in it...

  Not my project, was on "Show HN" a few months ago. But I did try to use Web-Scraping a few years ago, when I was trying to set up a crypto-currency [1] arbitrage... but there were a lot of risks and challenges... could be another option for you though.
