And yes, the new platform uses Cron to schedule tasks, so code runs at an exact time, as you’d expect.

Knowing all this stuff gives you immense power and flexibility, but it’s a tall ask when you just want to quickly grab and analyse some data off the web.  By using pre-built data tools on the new ScraperWiki, you get to perform the most common tasks, quickly and easily, without having to take evening classes in Computer Science.  And then, once you hit the tool’s limitations (because eventually you always will) you can fork and tweak the code, without having to start again from scratch.  And in the process, maybe you’ll even learn something about HTML, CSS, XPath, JSON, Javascript, CSVs, Excel, PDFs, KML, SVGs… […]

It’ll really show itself as the tools mature over the months after that.

Visualization is the feature I always wanting. When this expecting to completely deploy to users?
