Can I scrape any website with this tool?
Can I scrape any website with this tool?

You can only scrape websites that you have editing access to or an email address with the same domain name. To protect the reputation of Social Media Hammer, we only allow ethical crawling. To demonstrate a strong relationship to a website, you can add a metatag to the website’s head, upload a simple text file to the website’s root folder, or have an email with the same domain as the website you want to crawl.

What are some limitations of Social Media Hammer?
What are some limitations of Social Media Hammer?

Social Media Hammer isn’t a magic wand, this is especially true is you have a poorly designed website. The tool relies on good HTML markup, this means tags and content not underneath various uncrawlable scripts. Also, because we do ethical crawling, you should only attempts to crawl websites that you manage. The term “limitations” can mean anything, so we suggest you use the free level of service to see how Social Media Hammer crawls your website before you subscribe.

How often do you add new features?
We are constantly improving Social Media Hammer. For example, here is a feature we are currently working on:

When Social Media Hammer crawls a website, it can be blocked by firewalls or rate limiting features such as those in WordFence. Many websites block IPs if a bot is hitting too many pages in a minute. Some social media managers (the people who will use our product) do not have access to website backends to add our IP to a white list and many do not have the ability to adjust crawl rate limiting. One process we can change is to allow an option to “slow crawl” where Social Media Hammer only crawls 2 pages a minute – the user would be notified of how long the crawl will take if they select this feature. They will get an email when the crawl is complete.

We are adding other features based on customer feedback.
