I am very sorry that people have abused your beautiful website in such a way that you had to remove the lego instructions library… Could you maybe send me an e-mail, briefly describing the way you scraped the lego website? I am very familiar with PHP and other programming languages and would really like to help you out by restarting the service at my server, possibly improving it by adding security methods to prevent people from scraping it.

As far as I can see, the lego website uses ASPX code with control callbacks which makes it pretty hard to use the website itself to scan for instructions. The assets folder does not list all of the files … so do you really check every possible instruction number + .pdf , or do you have another method?

Kind regards,
