Jesus Christ, it's 5 bucks. 5 bucks is not a reason to roll your own version.

Roll your own version because you want to roll your own version, not to save 5 bucks.

you seem to be really hung up on the 5 bucks while at the same time being angry that people are hung up on the 5 bucks, it's just 5 bucks man, if people want to pay it or not doesn't matter, let people hack it away if they want

Its not $5. It is free or $5/month. The reason OP wants to scrape doesnt matter. His question was reasonable to ask here and could lead to finding out about some open source projects. You have not added anything to the conversation besides being wrong about the price.
