If you're looking to scrape data at a large scale, I believe what you'll need is a custom data scraping service such as PromptCloud. Most of the tools out there won't be able to cope up with the structural changes on the source pages and also wouldn't be flexible enough to accommodate the sources that you've mentioned. Disclaimer: I work at PromptCloud.

I was surprised to find the .Net WebBrowser form control to be the best solution for my web scraping. I started out trying Scrapy, but overall the .Net web browser was more powerful (the web browser is like a full version of IE) and easier to use when combined with HtmlAgilityPack.
