I have updated the data and together with some help via their issue tracker I have solved the issue. Now only I need to get their API to work, since this looks a bit different on how to connect via jQuery Ajax what I was using for your API.

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'CaptainID'

It’s being caused by this line, which would be valid if you were writing PHP, but you’re not, you’re writing Python 😉

print 'CaptainID ' . CaptainID

Try replacing the period with a comma. If you come across any other issues, they’re likely to be with Morph.io rather than ScraperWiki, since your code has been successfully exported and is running on their servers. Try contacting them via their issue tracker, or their twitter account.

Unfortunately it is not working as I expected. The migrated scraper is giving many errors although it was working on the classic scraperwiki. See: https://morph.io/rubenwoudsma/profscraper1314

Please advise how troubleshooting can be done.
