Quick hack to scrape data without losing your mind
Imagine this:
• You’re on a website.
• You need to pull some data (tweets, prices, whatever).
• You don’t feel like putting together a script, debugging it, crying, doing it all over again…
Solution:
• Open Dev Tools (F12).
• Ask your favorite AI to spit out a script that’s ready to paste.
Practical example:
"Create a script to run in Dev Tools that scrapes all the tweets from my feed (I’m logged in and looking at my timeline)."
Result:
• Clean, working code.
• No installing anything, no hassle.
• All from the browser.
• Data saved in an array and exported as JSON.
