In some embodiments data related to events is assembled into a data structure having a format logically equivalent to a double entry transition table. Each event may have two entries in the table: a first entry representing the event as a transition from a previous state to a current state, and a second entry representing the reverse transition of the first entry. In some embodiments, a query executor tool may be provided as a graphical user interface for entering information of interest to be queried.

Abstract: Embodiments disclose a system that allows for improved generation of web requests for scraping that, because of the nature of the requests and time and manner they are sent out, appear more organic, as in human generated, than conventional automated scraping systems. The system then manages how a client request to scrape a target website is made to the site, masking the request in a manner that makes it appear to the Web server as if the request is not generated by an automated system. In this way, by appearing more organic, Web servers may be less likely to block requests from the disclosed system or may take longer to block requests from the disclosed system. By avoiding Web servers blocking requests and extending the lifetime of IP proxies before they are blocked, embodiments can use a limited IP proxy address space more efficiently.
