verb
to collect, scrape, gather publicly
available data online
The word gained its use thanks to a large proxy provider called SOAX. Proxies are essential to scrape publicly
available data as they allow to automate and speed up
the process, so if you are collecting data online with the help of proxies, you are "soaxing data".
Example 1.
Before deciding if we need to invest any more money in this project, we soaxed some data from
social media and
realized we have been burning cash for the last two months.
Example 2.
Why would anyone spend countless hours collecting data manually when you can just soax it?
