    Hi Everyone,

    I need to scrape a website of some of it's data (not emails or anything bad - good stuff) they don't have an RSS feed or API. I have never scraped anything before but I need a large amount of data from this site. Can anyone recommend a direction I can take or script I can buy?

    I have a mac, most of the little scrapper softwares are for windows and are not running on any emulator (wine)

    Thanks!!

    This program may have worked, but it is for older version of mac. Something about power play?
