Web crawling and scraping can be a difficult topic to approach. Scout solves that by combining a simple, easy to learn syntax with powerful and modern web crawling technology. Gain programmatic access to web data with just a few lines of Scout code!

The post mentions the The Deprecation HTTP Header Field IETF draft. Since I also use it in my talk Evolving your APIs, I’m happy to see I was not too far off.
