I am writing an iphone app and I need to scrape about 50+ websites for data.
Does anyone know of any good client-side solutions that I can use ? I dont want to build a backend just for this.
Any pointers ?
Thanks
Rohan
Looks like your primary focus is the mobile application, and you want to offload the scraping activity to an outside service.
Use a service such as Bobik ( http://usebobik.com ) that provides APIs for scraping data off websites. You can even test your queries for free!
The API is fairly extensive, have a look at http://usebobik.com/api/docs for more information. There’s even a SDK available!
