Web Scraping Nerd

    Hi guys,

    I'm a programming nerd

    Web scraping is where a program automatically extracts specific data from a web-page e.g. a bot that goes to an auction website, and clicks on each listing, and then saves the price and title and url of an item to an excel file

    I've been doing a lot of high-volume web-scraping as part of an internship and was wondering if anyone can think of profitable uses of these kinds of techniques.

    I'm a computer science student finishing an internship in finance and would love to be able to make some extra cash on the side using my programming skillz.

    Please reply / PM me if you have any ideas!

    Specifically I'd love to team up with someone where I can provide scraped data and we can work out some kind of deal or something

    Peace!
