Data Prospectors is a community for people who use web scraping and data extraction to find information that’s difficult, tedious, or impractical to collect manually.
Inside, you’ll find scraping projects, workflows, resources, experiments, and discussions around finding and extracting useful data from the web.
The focus is practical: what can be collected, how it can be collected, and what you can do with the resulting data.
Some resources will be ready to use. Others may require adaptation or maintenance as websites change. The goal is to share useful systems and ideas, not promise that every scraper will work forever.
If you’re interested in turning overlooked web data into something useful, you’re in the right place.
