web_scraping

web_scraping is a cursor rule for Cursor from raysalem/real_estate_sd_web_scraper. It costs 0 tokens per session (142 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of guidelines for collecting and parsing information from websites. It covers tool selection, request pacing, bot protection, pagination, and checking extracted data.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps build web scrapers with tools such as Beautiful Soup, Scrapy, Selenium, Playwright, or Requests, including rate limits, retries, navigation, and validation.
Why use it?
It reduces failed requests, IP bans, and incorrect results when website layouts or access controls vary.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

web_scraping scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Web Scraping Guidelines

Best Practices

  • Tools: Prefer Beautiful Soup, Scrapy, Selenium, Playwright, or Requests based on the task complexity.
  • Robustness: Build resiliency. Implement request rate-limiting and backoff strategies to avoid IP bans (e.g., 1 request per second minimum).
  • Edge Cases: Always address handling for Cloudflare/bot protection mechanisms and complex navigation logic (like pagination).
  • Parsing: Handle DOM changes gracefully with explicit data validation and checks on scraped items before passing them to the pipeline.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
