hi all, I've got something like 18000 websites I need to visit and extract some info from but every single one has a different organisation, there is no way I can make up rules unless I make 18000 of them or I spent weeks coming up with some sort of AI stuff.At the same time I'm not an expert in the fields hence my question: would you got for manual scraping or you are aware of very...

Atlassian as a company rocks (the code behind some of the products less so but I digress). The reality is that they do have sales people, in fact a lot of them.

It's just that they are not Atlassian employees but are Atlassian partners employees. Atlassian has a massive partner/reseller network these days
