SwissDelphiCenter Delphi Tips: The Scraper Scripts

This article presents two Python scripts for archiving SwissDelphiCenter Delphi tips: scrape_tips.py downloads pages from the Wayback Machine with a resumable, rate-limited approach using the CDX index to avoid missing archived pages, and convert_tips.py transforms the downloaded pages into a format importable by GExperts Code Librarian. The scripts handle issues like farewell pages returning HTTP 200 and require a user email for the User-Agent. The article also briefly mentions GExperts updates for Delphi 11 and 12, and configuration export/import. It is a technical tutorial focused on web scraping, data conversion, and Delphi development tools.
