Ah, I didn’t know that! Sound really promising. Is there any documentation on this feature? I got connected to the SSH, but from there on I really don’t know what to do.. for instance; where can I find the code I’ve created in the web interface

You can do it by setting a crontab with whatever times you like. However, to do so you have to SSH in to your box. See https://beta.scraperwiki.com/help/developer/#boxes-unix and https://beta.scraperwiki.com/help/make-your-own-tool/

Alright! And how about possibilities for a custom schedule? I’d really love to see the ability to schedule at several date/times; like run at sunday’s at 13:00 or run at 27/05/2013 13:00. Now I use reminders on my phone to manually start a scraper.

Yes! On the new ScraperWiki, everything is private by default.

Hi guys, will the new version support private scapers like the current private vault? I’m thinking about upgrading to a Business account on the current live version. But really wont to know if this feature won;t be dropped in future versions..
