I am not fully sure what you mean but if you mean running the automately stack on your own servers then you would be interested in automately-core our open-source core. Shoot us an email at [email protected].
We've basically created a connected platform that makes it very easy to connect things. You can have your web application talk to your server-side automately scripts. We've made it as simple as including some JavaScript on your web page. Our server-side APIs make it very easy to communicate with APIs and WebSites. Your Automately scripts can store data via the DataBus and they can talk to other execution jobs via the MessageBus.
It's actually more than that, our API doesn't only provide access to the Browser module. We provide an SDK that can help people build real-time applications that can connect with almost anything. We're getting ready to release our Raspberry Pi integration. We are also going to be going open source fairly soon.
We will actually be open sourcing our core very soon! We will also be including the source code for our SDK and Automately Pi (unreleased Raspberry Pi integration).
Creator of Automately here, our service could definitely be something you might be interested in. While we aren't directly in the business of web scraping, we do have a powerful automation service that can accomplish those needs using simple javascript and our powerful scalable automation API.
We are accepting early access requests right now.

Selenium of course does provide web automation technology but here at Automately we are trying to do more than that. We are trying to put web automation in the hands of developers as fast as possible and inspire them to create new things.
A simple script written in JavaScript. You write code using our automation API interacting with websites making clicks, anything you would normally do as a normal person interacting with a web browser except using JavaScript to do it! And a lot more!
There are many things you could do with Automately! You could create new APIs that connect your services to other sites automating lots of things! For example you could create a banking API that connects developers to banking data. You could use Automately to connect to banks that offer online banking!
Automately is going to allow developers to write their own automation scripts connecting to websites of their choice. You won't be limited to channels, just your creativity and what you can do.
Hey HN! Creator of Automately here. Although there's not much details on the site because we accepting only early access requests right now I can definitely give you a little more details. Developers will be able to write automation scripts and run them. The automation scripts are written in JavaScript using a custom API. You will be able to submit automation jobs via the Automately API. Your job will be submitted to a powerful cluster and ran as fast as possible. You will be able to interact with websites and do many many other things. Stay tuned for more details :)
