Scrape without JS in ScrapeNinja, without opening it
2 read operations and no writes: a companion can scrape without JS and scrape with JS rendering in ScrapeNinja and hand back the scrapes with the source on each row.
Open the scrape. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the ScrapeNinja afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what ScrapeNinja exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 2 operations, 2 reads and no writes. In practice that means it can scrape without JS and scrape with JS rendering, and work across the scrapes and scrape without js.
The ScrapeNinja API stops at ScrapeNinja. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Can it scrape without JS on its own?
All 2 operations read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can scrape without JS and scrape with JS rendering, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from ScrapeNinja's documentation.
The scrapes are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the scrape without js. A companion can hold all 2 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of ScrapeNinja admin becomes a queue you review.
- Scrape without JS
- Scrape with JS Rendering
It can scrape without JS. Can it act on what it finds?
Through the screens you already use.
ScrapeNinja exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives ScrapeNinja in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a scrape, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a scrape in ScrapeNinja touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
Does the scrape sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the ScrapeNinja scrapes pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The product and engineering playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the engineering admin, the ScrapeNinja scrapes sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
