Various Scrapers

Mass-downloading pages from subscription sites — fully web- and app-driven, no AI or token spend.

In progress

What they are

A small collection of utilities that orchestrate the same actions a human would take inside a subscription site — log in, navigate, fetch — to download content I have access to at scale, in formats that are useful offline. Built around the site's real surfaces (web UI, app endpoints) rather than scraping pretending to be a browser.

Why no AI or tokens

The point of these tools is operational, not generative — fetch, paginate, persist. Every step is deterministic and cheap. LLMs would add cost and latency without changing the outcome.

Write-up

A longer post on the patterns that worked (and the ones that got me rate-limited) is in progress — coming soon.
