Under the hood

How our 9to5Google pipeline handles the hard parts

Tech blogs employ aggressive caching and third-party comment systems. Here is how we extract clean data without triggering rate limits.

Disqus iframe rendering
Full Playwright execution for comments

Comments load via third-party JavaScript. We execute Playwright sessions to render the DOM and extract the full thread hierarchy, including upvotes and nested replies.

WordPress pagination
Navigating complex archive structures

Archive pages use complex infinite scroll patterns. Our crawlers navigate the underlying REST API and pagination endpoints to ensure zero data loss across historical records.

Cloudflare bot mitigation
Residential proxy rotation

We bypass application-layer firewalls using residential proxies and TLS fingerprint spoofing, maintaining uninterrupted access during high-traffic events like Google I/O.

Timestamp normalisation
Consistent temporal data

Article updates and publication dates use inconsistent timezone formatting. We parse and normalise all temporal data to UTC ISO 8601 for accurate time-series analysis.

Dynamic ad injection
Clean editorial extraction

In-content programmatic ads break DOM structures. Our parsers strip injected ad containers, returning only the primary editorial text and relevant media.
