Web Scraping (also called Screen Scraping, Web Data Extraction, Web Harvesting etc.) is a technique employed to retrieve large quantities of data from websites whereby the data is collected and saved to a local file in your machine or to a database in table (spreadsheet) format.

Our  web scraping services provides high-quality structured data to improve business outcomes and enable intelligent decision making,

Our Web scraping service allows you to scrape data from any websites and transfer web pages into an easy-to-use format such as Excel, CSV, JSON and many others

Data presented by most websites can only be accessed using a web browser. They do not provide the functionality to save a copy of this data for personal use. The only choice then is to manually copy and paste the data - a very boring job which can take several hours or even days to complete. Web Scraping is the technique of automating this operation, such that instead of manually copying the data from websites, the Web Scraping programme can perform the same task within a fraction of the time.

Internet Scraping Techniques

1. Using computer applications

There are two types of web scraping apps. The first can be installed locally on your computer, and the second is cloud-based and browser-based. Web scraping applications such as WebHarvy, OutWit Hub, Visual Web Ripper, and others can be installed on your device, while cloud data extraction platforms such as import.io, Mozenda, and others are available online.

2. Creating software

You may employ a developer to create custom data extraction applications tailored to your needs. Web scraping APIs can then be used by the developer to make the programme easier to build. Apify.com, for example, makes it simple to obtain APIs for scraping data from any website.

Our Approach

The majority of generic web scraping software is extremely difficult to set up and use. There is a significant learning curve. WebHarvy was created to address this problem. WebHarvy has a simple point-and-click interface that allows you to start extracting data from any website in minutes.

Please watch the video below to see how easy it is to set up and use WebHarvy for your data extraction needs.
