Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Overview

ScrapingBot API on Pipedream allows you to scrape websites without getting blocked, fetching crucial information while bypassing common defenses. Whether you're extracting product details, real estate listings, or automating competitor research, this API combined with Pipedream's serverless platform offers you the tools to automate these tasks efficiently. Pipedream's ability to trigger workflows via HTTP requests, schedule them, or react to events, means you can create robust scraping operations that integrate seamlessly with 3,000+ other apps.

Example Use Cases

  • Real-time Price Monitoring Workflow: Extract current pricing information from e-commerce sites using ScrapingBot and use Pipedream's built-in actions to send this data to Google Sheets. Keep an always-updated record of competitors’ prices or track price changes over time.

  • Lead Generation Automation: Scrape contact information from business directories with ScrapingBot. Then, enrich the data using Clearbit and add the leads automatically to a CRM platform like Salesforce or HubSpot using Pipedream's native integrations.

  • Content Change Detection System: Monitor web pages for content changes with ScrapingBot. Whenever a specified change is detected, trigger an alert using Twilio to send an SMS or Slack to post a message, ensuring you're always the first to know about updates on a target website.
