Sequentum Enterprise is a powerful, multi-featured enterprise data pipeline platform and web data extraction solution. Sequentum’s CEO Sarah Mckenna doesn’t like to call it web scraping because, in its description, the web scraping refers to many different types of unmanaged and non-compliant techniques for obtaining web-based datasets.
Content is most basic way to attract traffic – without a certain amount of quality content, neither Google nor visitors would be interested in your website because there is little value they can get browsing it.
There are 2 main coding-free solutions for extracting content from websites to build your content base: choose one or a combination of themand have a try!
Let me tell you what you already know! Octoparse is a great web scraping tool! But like every great tool, it’s got its limitations. At times, you may wonder if there are any alternatives to Octoparse. We wondered the same and put together this blog to provide you a short list of Octoparse alternatives along with their features and distinguishing factors. Let’s get started!
Recently I got a question from one of the blog readers. After I replied to it, I decided to share it with a wider audience.
Question:
Hi,
I found your [web]scraping.pro site and found it very helpful, then realized the web scraper solutions rating was from 2014. What is the best solution for today? I have lots of sites I need to scrape, mainly search then drill-down sites. I would like to be able to schedule the scraping to run on a daily basis. Is there a direction you could point me? I’m a seasoned developer by trade but am seeing all these point and click solutions (e.g. import.io) and am wondering if I should stick with Node.JS or .NET or if I should investigate some of these GUI scrapers of today.
If you were an Amazon seller, would you want to know the listing price of a product of all competitors? Since you don’t have direct access to the Amazon database, you are out of luck and have to browse and click through every listing in order to construct a table of sellers and prices. A web scraping tool comes in handy. It automatically downloads your desired information such as product name, seller’s name, price, etc. However, web scraping that requires coding skill can be painful for professionals in IT, SEO, marketing, e-commerce, real estate, hospitality, etc.
It seems beyond one’s job description if he/she needs to learn how to code in order to obtain certain useful data from the web. For example, I have a friend who graduated in Mass Communication and works as a content marketer. She wants to scrape some data from the web, so she decided to learn Python herself. It took her two weeks to come up with a page of messy codes. Not only did she waste time on learning Python, but she also lost the time she could have used for doing her real work.
In this post I’d like to share my experience with scraping data aggregator/business directory using the residential proxy of the Bright Data proxy provider in conjuction with its proxy manager.
Can you imagine how many scraping instruments are at our service? Though it has a long history, scraping has at last become a multi-lingual and simple approach. Unfortunately, there is a list of non-trivial tasks which can’t be resolved in a snap.
One of these tasks is scraping javascript sites, those that output data using JavaScript. Facing this task, classic scrapers (not all of them though) ignore JS-data and continue their own life-cycle. However, when this little defect becomes a big trouble, developers all over the world take measures. And they did it! Today we consider one of the most awesome tools which scrapes JS-generated data – Splash.
has recently launched a brand new version 7.0, which has turned out to be the most revolutionary upgrade in the past two years, with not only a more user-friendly UI, but also some of the advanced features make web scraping even easier. In this post, I will walk through some of the new features/changes made available in this new version, with respect to how a beginner, even one without any coding background, can approach this web scraping tool.
Question

I am a small hotel owner and want those info quite often, and hope I can do it with codes automatically in someway. You are expert in this field, what is the easiest ways to get those information? Can you give me some example codes?
