I have zero experience with this. Looking to automatically aggregate news from specific news sites and personalities' posts from social media.

A friend of mine wanted to scrape every biomedical device patent off the FDA website. Took me like 2 hours to teach myself how to do it.

Is there someone that can help me scrap all the tutorials/blog posts/whatever off of this website? Supposedly they're taking all of the terrasolid documents offline in about 2 weeks and I was hoping there was an easy way to have all of them stored?

There used to be a way to make a website available offline. Could you do that instead? Is this all static content?Is there someone that can help me scrap all the tutorials/blog posts/whatever off of this website?

Thanks. I used one of the programs listed in those search results and fiddle fucked with it for about an hour this morning, but couldn't figure out how to get it to iterate and download an offline page for each. I'll try messing with it again when I get home tonight

Depending on how you go about analyzing and what use you're going to do with it, have you considered a tool that simply crawls the site and stores a local copy for "offline viewing" then go at it from that front? I'm looking at a similar idea because I want to keep an offline archive of certain sites to use with an LLM model I'm working on as it's "knowledge store".
