Although sadly this service is blocked in china, could be useful for scraping the grand exchange.

Isn’t it easier just to list the things that AREN’T blocked in china?

#23

People already use it for that. :slight_smile:

Use google docs for scraping the GE?

I put a chart that google uses to track trends (ie, google finance) in tab 2. It’s not a huge sample of data, but the general trend has been slightly downward for both forum viewers and player counts. Unfortunately the chart needs bounds on the data it uses so it won’t continue to use the latest data unless I go in and set new bounds, but you get the idea.
