I have a script written using selenium to scrape data from a web page and dump the info into an sqlite3 database.
It works perfectly fine running it from portable python, but i cant seem to get it working on here.
When i try browser.get('http://myblock.vinelandproduce.com/login.php') it doesnt load the site.
But if i put google or microsoft it will load the site.
Any help is appreciated.
That sounds like it's caused by our whitelist. Basically, free users can only access specific external Internet sites -- we had to do that because loads of hackers were using us to launch attacks. The sites that are on this whitelist are mostly ones with an official public API, or ones that are so huge that they can probably deal with hackers on their own.
Does the web page you're trying to scape have an official API? If so, we can probably whitelist it. If not, then you can get access by signing up for a PythonAnywhere account -- the cheapest custom plan is $4.20/month.
