DIO.me Brazil Coding Bootcamp & Courses Scraper

Scrapes all courses, bootcamps, and learning tracks from DIO.me — Brazil's largest free developer education platform with over 9 million registered students and enterprise-sponsored bootcamps from companies including Itaú, XP Inc., Vivo, Globo, and Claro.

What it does

This actor walks DIO.me's sitemap to discover all available courses and bootcamp tracks, then extracts structured data from each page's embedded Next.js __NEXT_DATA__ JSON. No Playwright required — DIO.me serves full server-side rendered HTML.

Covers two content types:

• Courses — individual video modules (typically 1–4 hours) with instructor names, skills taught, and lesson syllabus
• Bootcamps / Tracks — multi-week programs (often enterprise-sponsored) with student counts, start/end dates, and career path classification

Why it matters

DIO.me occupies a unique data niche: sponsor-company attribution. Every bootcamp lists the Brazilian enterprise that funded it (bank, telco, media company, etc.) alongside participant counts. This data is unavailable from Alura, Rocketseat, or Platzi (all paid-tier-only platforms). It is directly useful for:

• B2B ed-tech and enterprise L&D vendors — which Brazilian companies are investing in developer upskilling, and in which tech stacks?
• Tech talent market research — which skills are most in-demand in the Brazilian market?
• Competitive intelligence — track DIO's course catalog growth and sponsor relationships over time
