System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Systematic approach for handling failed web scraping attempts with fallback options, enabling data collection to continue when access is blocked or content is dynamic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • RSS/API First: Try RSSHub public instances and dedicated API services, then assess rate limits and authentication requirements.
  • Direct Scraping: Fall back to static HTML scraping and logic for JS-rendered content, including handling cookies and sessions.
  • Workaround Solutions: Manual URL provisioning, browser automation (Selenium/Playwright), and hybrid human-AI workflows for hard-to-access data.
  • Use Cases: Collect product data from anti-scraping sites, aggregate news from dynamic feeds, and archive API-limited sources.

Quick Start

Provide a target site and task, and ask the AI to generate a layered fallback plan describing primary method, alternatives, and decision criteria.
