Yes, ScraperWiki was killed off some time ago.  "New" ScraperWiki is a
commercial-only service, with an entirely different infrastructure.

morph.io from the OpenAustralia Foundation appears to be attempting to fill
the gap.  The scraper that I migrated didn't run out of the box, but it
doesn't look like it would be too hard to get running (silly little changes
like using "data" for the default table name instead of ScraperWiki's
"swdata").
