Is this allowed ? I see many use scraping for a bad reason and you can't do it many places or they ban you. But you not doing it for bad ? I just see it for websites on competition to collect the info for offline to analyze .

I think it's a tool for signature campaign manager to use. I dont see any bad in it.

It does take a lot of time away from signature campaign managers hands and a very helpful method but there are free ones out there , if you want to sell it there are two ways you can do it , first is making a better version and giving free 1 or 2 copies to a bigger ranking person and they will check and vouch for it , or you can just sell it for free and add some sort of ad on there to make some bucks out of it.

Do you have any price in mind? I wouldnt mind trying to take on a managing a sig campaign as long as it won't impede on my other tasks.

How long does the scraper take to run and complete a scrape on say, 30 users? Can you scrape multiple users at once?

Is the code clean and readable? (So I can take a look and edit it. I may even be able to host it on my server for other campaign managers to use. Kudos if the code has comments :D)

Any distribution licences?

What language is it written in?
