How do I access our database to scrape with Python to gather our own data sets?

[Darren Lyons]

Hi guys

We're looking to run some daily scripts on our data to see pull all the days postings and then use ChatGPT to summarise and pull out the most required stats (I know we can already see some of this in the backend, but we'd like to go into more detail).

How can we connect to the data / database without pulling this info from the frontend?

Thanks

Darren

As you are self-hosted, you have access to your database on the server so you will want to contact your hosting provider if you have questions about accessing the database itself. Unfortunately, we do not provide support for database querying.

Alternatively, you can utilize the REST API:
