Cloud service (instead of in app scraping) for website content/actions

1 points by cloudapi 15y ago

I am thinking of providing a cloud service for websites that dont have a REST API. This will eliminate the need for maintaining messy scraping scripts that developers have to maintain. I wanted to know if there is a need for such a service.

Well it for worked for Yodlee. They provided scraping services for Mint until Intuit took over.

  Thanks, any ideas on specific use cases where scraping is used actively in mobile apps.
