Today I want to share my experience with Dexi Pipes. Pipes is a new kind of robot introduced by Dexi.io to integrate web data extraction and web data processing into a single seamless workflow. The main focus of the testing is to show how Dexi might leverage multi-threaded jobs for extraction of data from a retail website.
NB Pipes robots are available starting from PROFESSIONAL plans.

A Simple Email Crawler in Python
I often receive requests asking about email crawling. It is evident that this topic is quite interesting for those who want to scrape contact information from the web (like direct marketers), and previously we have already mentioned GSA Email Spider as an off-the-shelf solution for email crawling. In this article I want to demonstrate how easy it is to build a simple email crawler in Python. This crawler is simple, but you can learn many things from this example (especially if you’re new to scraping in Python).

Let’s weigh all the pros and cons to see why you should consider using residential IP providers like Infatica, Bright Data, NetNut, Geosurf and others.
I want to share with you the practical implementation of modern scraping tools for scraping JS-rendered websites (pages loaded dynamically by JavaScript). You can read more about scraping JS rendered content here.
In this blog post we are going to show how you can solve [Re]captcha with Java and some third party APIs, and why you should probably avoid them in the first place.
For the Python code (+ captcha API) see that post.

Captcha solving
“Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart” is what captcha stands for. Captchas are used to prevent bots from accessing and performing actions on websites or applications.
The last one is the most used captcha mechanism, Google ReCaptcha v2. That’s why we are going to see how to “break” these captchas.
As you know, huge social networks are very useful instruments to improve business, especially IT-business. Developers, designers, CEO, HR- and Product-managers share some useful information, looking for useful acquaintances, business partners and co-workers. But how does one automatize the process of searching and attracting new people to your resource? With Phantombuster it’s not a problem at all. In our today’s article we will consider how to use the Phantombuster APIs in different areas.
