Web Scraping Open Knowledge
9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 May 2022

This is the one I know about: https://morph.io/ and https://github.com/openaustralia/morph#readme (AGPLv3) -- they used to be at the intersection of "heroku for scrapers" and DoltHub (e.g. https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/dolthub/us-businesses/d...) since the scrapers would run but then make their data available as CSV or sqlite or whatever. But, when I just tried to load one of the morph.io scrapers, the page just said "creating new template" so I'm guessing they've gone the way of the ScraperWiki.com that preceded them: turns out, hosted compute for free isn't free

On the page about canvas fingerprinting[0], it only mentions Cloudflare. From what I can tell, reCaptcha v3 also uses canvas fingerprinting [1]
