    Hello all, Iam a new poster here but I have installed a lot of the recommended scripts that you have shared here in order to help with productivity. I am loving them so far, however I have not been able to get HIT scraper to work for me since I've installed it. I have no idea what it is that I am doing wrong, or am not doing. I would really love some help with this, if anyone is able to do so. Thanks!

    It's really easy. Go to https://www.mturk.com/mturk/findhits?match=true?hit_scraper

    If you want it to automatically refresh, set the auto delay to something not 0, that's the number of seconds it'll refresh. Pages to scrape should be 5-10, I usually do 5. Minimum batch size should be blank if you're not looking for batches. The "new hit highlighting" is how long a hit that wasn't there before will be bolded, just leave that one alone. Minimum reward I usually do 1 (for $1), but also .5, .25, .1, whatever monetary amount you want to look for. Leave everything else along and click Start.

    If you set a refresh delay, it'll just keep going, otherwise, it'll search once and you'll have to click "start" again to do another scrape.

    Requester is the requester name, clicking the name gives you all hits from that requester. clicking the block button blocks that requester from showing up in future scrapes. To revert to the "default" block list, click "Reset blocklist" at the top. Title is the hit title, if you hold your mouse over it you get the description. Clicking the title takes you to the preview page for the hit. The button there is to export. Reward and hits available are self-explanatory. TO Pay is the pay rating from TO for that requester. Accept Hit brings you to the previewandaccept page (IE accepts the hit automatically). R and T are for the hitdb; if you don't have that yet, ask in the thread for a link cuz you need that ASAP. R is for "requester", T is for "Title". If one of them is green, it means you've done a hit that either matched the requester name, or the title.

    The colors are a weighted average of the TO ratings, from green (best) to red (worst).

    That answer your questions? :D

    EDIT:

    This was meant to be a response to a PM, but I wasn't paying attention to where I was writing. This guide is a reference to my version of the hit scraper, with the export options and all the enhancements I've built in.

    I'm glad you posted this publicly, as I was mystified by everything as well. Can you tell me where to get the script that says I've visited the hits before? That would be enormously helpful!

    I am not familiar with Hit Scraper. It's not listed in the Scripts tab. Is there another place to go to find more scripts/add ons? I use HIt Database and Block Requestors and am using Firefox.

    Thank you! This is absolutely everything, and I am using your latest version, I got it the other day. The other one wouldn't work for me at all but the new one is working with no problem, thanks for all of the tips and hints and thanks for this and all of the other awesome scripts, you are insanely awesome!
