Into the Scrape-Verse, an online hackathon with Bright Data, August 17 to 23, 2026

Into the Scrape-Verse

Build self-healing web scrapers

You write a scraper, it works, and a week later the site changes its layout and everything breaks quietly. Build one that repairs itself instead, run it from your coding agent, and spend the week turning the data into something real.

Everything you need to build

Your scraper has to come out of Scraper Studio, so these are the pages that get it there. Start with our kickoff guide and the two walkthroughs below, then the coding-agent prompts and the CLI tutorial, and keep the product docs open while you build. Stuck on something, or looking for a team? The WeMakeDevs Discord is the fastest way to an answer.
