scrapeops-scrapy-sdk VS switchaudio-osx

My favourite scrapingtool is Scrappy, requires some Python knowledge but there are some very good tutorials about it on https://scrapeops.io

Part 5: Deployment, Scheduling & Running Jobs - Deploying our spider on a server, and monitoring and scheduling jobs via ScrapeOps. Article

You could use a free tool like ScrapeOps that integrates directly into a server/VM or a Scrapyd server and allows you to schedule, run and monitor your jobs from a single dashboard.

Proxy APIs: The middle ground is using a smart proxy provider like ScrapeOps which aggregates lots of different proxy providers together and manages the entire proxy stack and request optimization for you. With these, you only pay for successful requests and works out much cheaper than residential proxies, and much less hassle than managing your own datacenter IPs.

FYI - if you want to see all your errors on a dashboard then you can checkout ScrapeOps which monitors your scrapers stats and errors. Just a 3 line install into your settings.py file. Live demo here

Just letting you know that we've updated the ScrapeOps Scrapy extension so it now monitors your errors & warnings in real-time and displays them on your dashboard. It allows you to:

For monitoring jobs and getting alerts then the ScrapeOps extension is a good option. Currently, just for Scrapy but will have Python Requests SDK in the next week. https://github.com/ScrapeOps/scrapeops-scrapy-sdk

Cool. You should check out ScrapeOps if you would like a free monitoring tool for your Scrapy spiders.

The ScrapeOps extension is free and designed for monitoring your jobs, checking data quality, getting alerts, and scheduling jobs.

I was hoping for a macos specific list of command line tools, but this is "just" a list of universal (mac/linux/bsds) command line tools mostly, with a few specific to macos in them. Great resource nevertheless, just thought I'd share it would be lovely to see a list which excplicitly is useful for macos like https://github.com/deweller/switchaudio-osx or https://github.com/jipegit/OSXAuditor. Bookmarked this anyway, thanks for sharing!

Not the simplest solution but you could install Homebrew, then install this command line application for switching audio output, then make a shortcut with a shell script inside it to run the application. I am not an expert Terminal guy and have successfully done this on multiple computers (I run the shell script from Keyboard Maestro but it should work just as well with a shortcut).

https://github.com/deweller/switchaudio-osx shell brew install switchaudio-osx

Connect headphones 1. Enable custom focus mode – to trigger the automation on other device 2. Delay – wait for other device to update its focus and run the automation to disconnect the headphones 3. Set playback destination (iOS only action so if you want to move from iOS to mac you'll need something like switchaudio-osx)

Maybe this one can be helpful https://github.com/deweller/switchaudio-osx you can build s Shortcut and assign a keyboard shortcut.

I'm using this little CLI utility: https://github.com/deweller/switchaudio-osx And the workflow is just a simple bash script that runs a command, e.g.: /usr/local/bin/SwitchAudioSource -s "External Headphones"

switchaudio-osx: a way to switch audio output device via command-line. There has be to be a way to reuse some code and create similar interface to switch formats on the same device. https://github.com/deweller/switchaudio-osx

I’m not an expert on Shortcuts for Mac, but if there’s a way to run a shell command from a shortcut, you could have a shortcut run switchaudio-osx to change your audio output.
