    This is overkill for scraping a single page. For most cases, we'd probably want an actual web crawler that intelligently scrapes the relevant portions of a site without following external or irrelevant links. And if we need to crawl a substantial number of pages, I'd be concerned about making all those queries to GPT. Perhaps it would be more economical to compile all the screenshots into a single PDF, and dump that into GPT-4o for analysis with a single prompt? 🤷🏻‍♂️

      When it is converted into a pdf it is no longer an image and cannot be used as an input for vision.

      The objective of this video is to give you another tool for your scraping challenges while keeping the example as simple as possible.
      I completely agree that there are easier ways to scrape a single website without scraping protection. Also, if you want to scrape multiple pages in a row, you should extend the code to your needs. However, consider cases where you use autonomous agents (e.g., CrewAI or Autogen) and want to allow the agent to see the website like humans do (e.g., for conversation optimization).

    Can this also be done using ollama and lava?

      That's a great question. I haven't tried it yet, but using open-source solutions like Ollama and Lava sounds like an interesting idea.

    Why do you blur the LinkedIn profile url just to show the whole LinkedIn page including the url im the browser screenshot some seconds later? Wanna see who’s curious enough? 😂
    Great video!

      The competition on RUclips is fierce these days! Every little trick counts to reach that elusive 10k subscriber mark. Blurring the LinkedIn URL is just one of my sneaky strategies to keep you engaged and guessing. 😂

    paying openai to use their API for webscrape while giving them a copy of the data, too. lol
