   Assuming you mean that it only supports GET requests against the existing data. it's amazing though that something as simple as querying a table of olympics data wasn't possible without this (without a whole bunch of manual work).

   Yeah, it seems the facts are the most important part. I mean the data should be openly available, right? and that lowering the barrier to use by programmers and data scientists should improve the quality of how people interact with and expe

   Thanks for the feedback. Just curious, did you see this after you moved/ resized the window or did this happen right away?

    Yes, absolutely... we'll be providing more control for webmasters before we exit beta.

    No. You can extract any content you want from the page (incl. text, images, links) just not meta elements or invisible ones (e.g. <title> or anything else that usually shows up in <head> for that matter)

    Ah, yeah that's not a bad idea. Still keep the responsibility on the user, but do our best to keep them honest :)

    It's unfortunately not possible right now, but we know people want it, so we're working on it. Probably have to tuck it into our advanced mode feature as it's not something we'll ever be able to solve with the point and

    Although we do put the onus on the users to pay attention to robots.txt we realize the reality is that some amount of them won't necessarily respect it. That's one of the primary reasons behind the way we designed our crawler the

    Thanks, great suggestions! We're working on a more powerful API editor that will let you do just that.

    Thanks for the suggestion. You're right, videos aren't the best way to comprehensively describe how to use this. We're working to put together some deeper documentation (and improving the API editor) so you'll have more

    Feedback from webmasters is really helpful for us. We want to make sure we're making data available via API responsibly, so would love to hear your suggestions/ thoughts as we define a scalable solution.

    Thanks. We support regex matching now. Try dragging to select text, if there's a relevant regex pattern and kimono will find it (there's an example inthe blog post). You can preview (and soon, you'll be able to edit) the CSS

    Kimono can handle many pages with malformed/ old HTML. Of course, it's still beta and there are still pages that break it, so we're improving it as we go with the help of early adopters like everyone on this thread. Of course

    It would be great to automate this eventually. For now, we're trying to make it really easy to set up and rebuild the scraper. If it goes down, you'll see it in the status on your user dashboard. We're also implementing alert
