Tablepress data scraping

    Hi Tobias, I’m worried about people coming to my website and scraping the tablepress data. To avoid this I’ve set the pagination at 10 rows per page and have row details enabled so a lot of the data is hidden within the rows, but i’m unsure if this will protect me against data scrapers / scripts / bots?.

    Thanks for all your hard work, I’ve loved working with Tablepress these last few months.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble as well as for the late reply. I’ve been on holidays and therefore couldn’t reply earlier.

    No, sorry, this will not protect you from such scraping. The HTML data is still in the page. Note that there is no real protection. If you put content on the web and someone wants it, they will be able to get and copy it.

    Regards,
    Tobias
