Since this website is under copyright restriction, you can collect this data for personal use only by aggregating the data from the Algolia search API as per the instructions below.

(Whether or not you go through the steps) You can help us petition Zewo for permission to use the data via Twitter or the Community Forum.

1. Open your developer console (F12 in Firefox), go to the web page above, and scroll down until all the results have been downloaded. In the Network tab filtering for XHR you should see five queries as in the screenshot:

2. Save the JSON results of each page as a file in the data folder of this repository: p1.json, p2.json, p3.json, .. The files have to start with a lowercase p and the order does not matter.

3. Run make setup if you have a Linux machine with dnf, or download and install the software listed in the Makefile yourself.

4. Run make aggregate to transform the data. If there are no errors, you will have a data/data.csv file that is ready to use with this Data Package.
