Whitelist request

Hello PythonAnywhere!

Firstly, I would like to say thank you for your amazing work! I am an undergraduate student working on a timetabling project that requires a lot of scraping information from my university's website with BeautifulSoup. Would it be possible to whitelist the ed.ac.uk domain so I could run my website on here?

Thank you very much in advance! All the best, Gaby

Unfortunately we can only whitelist sites with an official public API, so we can't do the whole university site. If there's a specific part of it where they have a published policy saying that programmatic access is OK, then let us know and give us a link to the API docs, and we'll be happy to whitelist that.

Hi giles,

I am pretty sure our university does not have a public API, so it wouldn't be allowed on your whitelist :/ Nevertheless, thank you for your attention and quick response. Have a great day!

Gaby
