Web Scraping Challenges: 8 Obstacles and How to Fix Them

Key Takeaways Core web scraping challenges divide into three categories : structural (site redesigns, inconsistent HTML across pages), technical (JavaScript rendering, dynamic content loading), and defensive (bot detection, CAPTCHA, IP blocking, browser fingerprinting, honeypot traps). Anti-bot detection is layered . Enterprise protection from Cloudflare, Akamai, Imperva, DataDome, and PerimeterX combines IP reputation, fingerprinting, and behavioral analysis.

Codex Pricing in 2026: Every Plan, Usage Limit and Credit Rate, Explained

Codex pricing is not one number: Codex is bundled into ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise, each with its own usage allowance, and then extended with token-based credits or an API key. I went through the Codex pricing page, the developer docs and the usage-limit tables to lay out what each tier actually buys, how the per-model limits work, and where the money goes once you hit them. Ask “how much does Codex cost” and the honest answer is “it depends which ChatGPT plan yo...

Guess the Speed: Building a Family Internet Speed Guessing Game

In this blog post, we will see how I turned our family's speed test ritual into a family internet speed guessing game that you can play on your own Wi-Fi. Every family has that one argument.

It became a game, and the game became a website . Let's see how it works and how I built it. The aut...

The camera sees it. Did the SD card save it?

ICSee WiFi camera, shown in the QuarkView camera catalogue. A live camera image is easy to mistake for a working recording system. You open the app, see the driveway and receive an event notification. Later, when you need the clip, the card may have stopped recording, the event may never have triggered, or the footage may already have been overwritten. Choosing the card is only part of solving that problem. The useful acceptance test is whether the intended person can find, play and expor...

Private marks meet the public tape

The private market has had its say. Anthropic went from an $18 billion valuation in early 2024 to $965 billion this May, doubling roughly every three months for fourteen months. Now the company is headed for the public market, with reports pointing to a roadshow the week of November 9 and a listing before Thanksgiving. The number being discussed is $2 trillion, with up to $100 billion raised. If it happens, it would be the largest IPO in history, eclipsing the record SpaceX set in June. This ...

How to get a Firebase ID token for testing your API (without writing a script)

Your backend verifies Firebase ID tokens. You want to call it from curl or Postman as a specific user. Firebase gives you no button for that. The usual answers are a sign-in REST call with an email and password (only works for password users), the Auth emulator (not your real project), or a small Admin SDK script that creates a custom token and exchanges it. I wrote that script one too many times, so I turned it into a desktop app. What the flow actually is Getting an ID to...
