Data source: web scraping 🚫

[raphodn]

One source of data could be web scraping.

Allowed ? NO

⚠️ Currently we don't allow this as a source ⚠️

• because of legal reasons
• we focus on prices in physical shops

Additional info

In the about page & in the OFF support

For legal and technical reasons, we don't consider scraping prices from retailers' websites as a valid way to contribute to Open Prices. We want to make sure that the prices we collect are accurate and up-to-date, and receiving scraped prices from contributors doesn't allow us to do that.
Price scraping is a considered option in a future version of Open Prices, but it would be done by Open Prices itself so that we can have a proof of the price based on the HTML page.
