Improve adapter robustness

Open geoffreylitt opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Currently, it's easy for scrapers to break completely, if there's a bug in the scraper or the site changes. How can we have more graceful degradation? Ideas:

  • isolate each column's extraction more, handle exceptions by default
  • have standard patterns that encourage error handling / error messages
  • provide helper functions with robust defaults
