Sub-minute polling on breaking news feeds to capture high-priority alerts the second they are published.

Author Tracking

Map journalists and guest contributors to their entire publication history across the domain.

Premium Content Flagging

Identify gated Jpost Premium articles versus free content to maintain accurate corpus statistics.

Under the hood

How our Jpost pipeline handles the hard parts

News sites deploy aggressive caching and bot protection. Here is how we ensure reliable text extraction.

Ad-heavy DOM parsing
Clean text extraction bypassing injected scripts

News publishers interleave paragraphs with dynamic ad slots and video players. Our parsing logic targets the core article container and strips out all non-editorial DOM nodes, ensuring your NLP models receive pristine text.

Paywall detection
Accurate Jpost Premium flagging

We detect the presence of client-side paywall scripts and premium metadata tags. The pipeline flags these records automatically, allowing you to filter out truncated articles from your dataset.

CDN caching bypass
Ensuring immediate breaking news capture

News sites use aggressive edge caching. Our polling requests use cache-busting headers and targeted endpoint rotation to ensure we capture breaking news updates in real time rather than stale CDN responses.

Infinite scroll handling
Playwright execution for category pages

Historical category pages and author feeds rely on JavaScript-driven infinite scroll. We deploy headless Playwright sessions to trigger pagination events and capture the complete historical index.

Rate limiting circumvention
Residential proxies for high-frequency polling

Polling a breaking news feed multiple times per minute triggers IP bans. We distribute requests across a pool of residential proxies, maintaining low latency without triggering WAF blocks.

Why DataFlirt

"The Jerusalem Post holds decades of critical Middle Eastern reporting, but extracting clean text from ad-heavy news layouts requires precision engineering."

News publishers aggressively monetise traffic with complex ad networks, dynamic DOM injection, and strict paywalls. DataFlirt strips the noise, bypasses the bot protection, and delivers pristine, machine-readable text corpora ready for NLP pipelines and sentiment analysis.

Common questions.

About jpost.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping news sites like jpost.com legal?

Scraping publicly available factual data, headlines, and public articles is generally permissible under fair use and applicable laws. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated content. We do not bypass paywalls to steal premium content. Clients must ensure their downstream use cases, such as model training or syndication, comply with copyright laws.

How do you handle Jpost Premium paywalls?

We do not circumvent authentication walls. Our pipeline detects the metadata flags indicating an article is Jpost Premium. We extract the available public snippet and flag the record as premium in your dataset, ensuring your NLP models do not ingest truncated text.

What is the latency for breaking news?

For breaking news pipelines, we configure sub-minute polling on specific RSS feeds and alert endpoints. Records are delivered via Webhook within seconds of publication detection.

Can you extract historical archives?

Yes. We can paginate through category archives and author histories to extract articles dating back years, providing a comprehensive dataset for historical sentiment analysis.

Do you support different language editions?

The primary pipeline targets the English edition of jpost.com. We can configure parallel pipelines for French or Hebrew editions upon request, maintaining separate indices.

How do you manage layout changes on the site?

News sites update their DOM frequently to accommodate new ad formats. Our extraction logic relies on multi-layer fallback chains and heuristic text-density algorithms to isolate article bodies even when CSS classes change.
