I recently did a website, that mines Argentinian Central Bank statistics daily and generates graphics and reports: http://estadisticasbcra.com/en

( The data that I'm mining is published here: http://www.bcra.gov.ar/Estadisticas/estprv010000.asp )

On this case, some scripts using Beautiful Soup were enough to get the job done, but I was completely unaware of Scrapy, seems like a fantastic tool, if I would have known about it I probably would have used it.
