Day 2: Scraper No Scraping 😜

One of the websites I scraped was a supplement brand I'm partnered with.

Their product category is extensive, at 411 products by my count.

So I did this to look at creating information for myself and all of our clients to quickly search for products based on use case and category, rather than slowly searching one product at a time.

This would've literally taken me WEEKS to do manually, but it took like 2-3 minutes.

MIND.BLOWN.

One thing I learned was how easy and quick this process is. I always (somewhat foolishly) thought scraping was some dark arts level magic that only hackers knew how to do...

Buuuut looks like I've got my Gandalf hat on now, buddy lol.

I can think of a million other use cases for this that fit right into our business.

Scraping equipment pages for home gyms

Scraping websites for recipes for clients

Scraping functional health websites for information on optimal blood lab ranges to use with our labwork interpretations that we offer...

Needless to say, I'll be revisiting this project repeatedly and will be upgrading to a paid Firecrawl account in the very near future.

This is powerful!
