- nocodelowcode 6y agoInteresting! How does this compare to https://www.browserless.io/ https://www.browserless.io/?

- cookiengineer 6y ago- No terms of use (404) - No privacy policy (404) - Contact leads to about:blank - Unclear of what it actually costs Nah thanks, I do business only with valid partners. Seems to me this is a product that actually isn't available, and that this is just a landing page. As a European, I can certainly not use it if your service isn't GDPR conform (so that's also important). While I like the general idea, a lot of pages in the blog (documentation!?!?) seem incomplete, too. I have no idea what the SDK is for, or how to try it out with the first "free requests".
- purplecats 6y agoalso the `thecomputer` and typing an invalid command (emoji) rubbed me the wrong way
- bdcravens 6y agoIn general I think “Show HN” can be a WIP or a beta (for example the ruby/python/JavaScript libs all say “coming soon”). I do agree that if judged as a sales page and not a WIP it is half-baked
- soheil 6y agoI like how whenever I start losing faith in HN out of the blue encouragements in the form of your comment manifest.
- soheil 6y agoContact us is mailto: link, if you don't have a default mail handler in your browser that maybe the issue. Fixed the 404s and included GDPR. To see the cost a free account needs to be created first. The page Usage explains what the SDKs are for, you don't have to use them if you're ok with using _curl_, etc.

- lpellis 6y agoI would be very impressed if this works with actively scraping hostile sites like LinkedIn, there are not much detail on the site about how this works.
