Scraping broken #8

Open seanocali opened 6 years ago

I tried each of your sample code lines and I just get enumeration yield no results. The site isn't down or anything.

lewishenson commented 6 years ago

Yes, it looks like the Metacritic's site has changed therefore breaking the scraping. Will try and look into this weekend (or if you've got a fix already, happy to accept a PR).

lewishenson commented 6 years ago

Not going to be as straightforward as I hoped, the structure has changed a fair bit. It even looks like "Features" have disappeared completely.

seanocali commented 6 years ago

Sorry about that. I guess that's the way these things go. It's a shame they don't have a public API.

It is a shame. I've just discovered it's against Metacritic's Terms of Use to scrape their site so I've decided to sunset FluentMetacritic and will not be fixing any issues. Sorry.
