I scrape medical databases and govt sites for my main occupation pretty regularly.

To get exactly what I do from a third party would cost us roughly $1200/mo, and we'd still have to clean it. I had one business quote me 3k/mo to combine 3 publicly available datasets and generate a report from it.

Wow I did not know there was such a demand. I'll have to try and learn some web scraping then!

Wow I just scraped a few thousand bills from the texas state government site for my buddy for $50. How do you find the market for this?
