CryptoPunks Scraper

This project will scrape the LarvaLabs website to retrieve all CryptoPunks species and attributes.

The completed scrape is found in punks.json.

The LarvaLabs site is protected by an IPS that will detect when too many requests are made. This means that async requests are not necessary since the IPS will just block your IP after about 70 simultaneous requests. Instead, this project just scrapes one punk at a time and can take over an hour to complete.
