Can you promote in r/webscraping?

The short answer
Do not mention your company or product; give impartial, public-helpful answers and follow any wiki guidance before attempting allowed promotion.
What works here
- public technical discussion
- helpful non-commercial answers
- following wiki for any permitted promo processes
What gets posts removed
- referencing or advertising commercial products or services
- pitching, lead-generation, or posting vendor links
- soliciting customers or surveys
