Ask HN: How do big companies get all their information?
4 by Martin_Johnson | 0 comments on Hacker News.
A friend and I are starting a company that helps people optimize their tv subscriptions, so they are paying the least amount possible for the shows that they want to watch. The problem we are having however is that we can't find a reliable source of data. I know big companies like google have web crawlers, but Netflix will not let smaller companies scrape their sites as far as we can tell. Do you guys have any ideas as to how to gather information about what online tv services have which shows, and then compile that into a database?
