Is there any other tool that easily help with JS parsing?? This would actually be extremely useful since there are so many JavaScript generated pages.

I'll run this on a clean Ubuntu instance and if this works I'll update my post! Thanks!!

If I'm not mistaken LXML uses XPath and CSS path selectors right?

Interesting - so would this not have worked for my Ubuntu ami instance or my Ubuntu home machine?

Very interesting... I typically would think you should not use a product that a founder/developer does not believe in

If its a framework does it take a little longer to setup/get used to? If so is the learning curve worth it?

by wesleyzhao 15y ago
Interesting - will have to play with it when I wake up. Any reason in particular you think it is better than lxml? Beautiful Soup is only used with lxml to parse broken HTML into a DOM. Lxml does most of the heavy lfiting

Does that work? If I remember correctly I may have tried that and it was one of the things that failed. Something would not compile I believe. I am still a noob so if that works and I just messed it up I wouldn't be surprised. Do you know b

Hm interesting thought. Any good tutorials/sites I can use to get going on this? Or is it so simple I won't even need that. I find myself scraping a lot, so finding the best lib for that is a priority.

by wesleyzhao 15y ago
Glad to hear it was so easy for you! For some reason, before I found a great tutorial, I kept running into errors on my installations. First it was because I didn't even have setuptools installed, then I didn't have some other dev dependenc

Thanks for the compliment! This is actually not the idea we applied with. This is something we hope will WOW the panel (hopefully one of them is reading this right now...)

GR! Dang addslashes().... We should have something set up that does allow bug submissions... but until then feel free to email me if you see anything else wesley.zhao@gmail.com

We definitely need to make it more clear what exactly we are going to do with your information and make sure people know that there is NO spamming. Everything is done at the user's discretion.

by wesleyzhao 16y ago
Nice suggestion - definitely (if implemented) will really help with our SEO. The thing I guess that may be a barrier is actually switching the page and keeping a javascript array or knowing where the user is (guess we can do that via the DB

It actually wouldn't be too hard, we think we will just tap our many-many views table to replicate an experience as ourselves! That should be a cool tour for a potential user.

by wesleyzhao 16y ago
We definitely will add some copy to better help the user understand why we need the oauth and also the specifics of what we will do with your account (which is never spam).

by wesleyzhao 16y ago
Agree completely. After getting all this feedback we think we are going to let users take a really cool tour of this product through the eyes of a user.
117.
by wesleyzhao 16y ago
Oh very cool point! Definitely possible - we keep a many-many db table of views (which includes the link to the user) so we could potential do like a simulation..hmm interesting thanks!

Hey! So the Twitter API actually does not let you 'mimic' that you are viewing someone else's timeline other than the 'authenticated user'. When we found out about this we were pretty bummed too. However, we did like the idea of maybe not b

"Almost"? Nice! We are glad you gave us a chance to prove ourselves. We will definitely think about changing it.

@revorad nice! We use chartbeat so we should have thought of using backtype (their Twitter stream app of choice). Definitely will see how well that fits into our next iteration.
