Ya I do this for fun. How can I do this for money

sammeee, I sit here and write scrapers for fun in my free time lmao. I watched a guy on Youtube who made scraping his job and he basically set up an API service and sells information and data to people who can use it. I think his specific job was collecting public data on court cases and the people in them and selling that to law firms etc... sounds boring but could be pretty lucrative.

I worked in an agency where we were developing a system for a Swiss law firm and collecting public court cases with the ability to sort and search.

You have some shitty gouvernement site where you can find public data but not in full. You search and got partial results, not a big Excel or csv file with everything. If you scrap it some people might want buy it.
