In this video, I dive into the world of web scraping using DeepSeek and show you how incredibly affordable it can be. We'll start by setting up DeepSeek, integrating it with the open-source crawler Crawl for AI, and then move on to scraping a website to get structured data in no time. Along the way, I break down the costs, compare token usage with different language models, and explain why DeepSeek is a game-changer for startups that rely on consistent, reliable, and cheap data scraping.

You'll see step-by-step instructions on configuring the DeepSeek API, creating your key, and using the crawler to extract data like a pro. I also highlight some of the cool features of Crawl for AI, like excluding external links, handling iframes, and configuring prompts to get super-precise results. At the end, we scrape the leaderboard from Chatbot Arena to demonstrate the power of this setup, resulting in structured JSON data that's perfect for databases or frontend applications.

Disclaimer:

While I mention in the intro that this "feels illegal," it's important to clarify that scraping is not inherently illegal. However, you must always review and adhere to the policies of the websites you scrape. Be responsible with the data you collect, and ensure you’re not violating terms of service or ethical guidelines. Use tools like these wisely and respectfully.

For more context, the leaderboard used in this demonstration is from the open-source project Chatbot Arena (https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmarena..., and the scraping of (https://web.lmarena.ai/leaderboard) was done purely for demonstrational purposes.
