The Sheets Genie Chrome Extension let you turn Google Sheets into a web scraping and business automation powerhouse, doing things with Google Sheets you never dreamed possible.

For it to work, you must have first installed the SG Add On:

https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/sheets_genie/567176214397

For step by step guidance on data extraction with SG, and to see what you can do, you can check out the following training on Udemy, which is taught by SG's developer, Dave Fonvielle:

https://www.udemy.com/course/web-scraping-scrape-data-to-google-sheets-with-sheets-genie/

If you don't want to enroll in the course, that's fine. You can see all the necessary videos for free as part of the \"free preview\" without signing in or anything.

Here the big picture with SG, since it's more than \"just\" web scraping...

Sheets Genie automates business tasks with one click so that you:

-- scale up your business activities and productivity
-- save time and effort

Among other things, it helps you:

-- get data into your spreadsheets quickly and easily and then process it in useful ways
-- automate and scale your use of other online tools
-- automate tasks behind logins (since you can be already logged into your accounts in your browser when you run it)

As far as extracting data from websites goes, Sheets Genie has been called a \"Google Sheets Web Scraper\" because it helps you with website scraping and data extraction in the following ways:

-- No messy CSVs or other export / import situations, where you first have to export your scraped data, then import it into another spreadsheet tool, because…
-- It not only scrapes your information for you, but it scrapes it directly to your target spreadsheet
-- You have absolute control over where your data is placed in your spreadsheet, including even the exact sheet and column, and sometimes, even row
-- If you have a column of urls, you can automatically scrape all those links, and then have the scrape results automatically placed in your spreadsheet
-- If appropriate, this includes the option to place the results exactly in the row where the link was found, kind of like enriching that row with additional information
-- you can also automatically exclude any results that contain certain values that you don't want in your sheet for whatever reason

Dantanian Fynora (ID: 0000008369dd8b07) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/26/2022 A super cool addon for Google Sheets. Works really great. Without any use of any other automation tool I can simply scrape the web pages with the help of Sheet Genie.

Vijayanand Vasudevan (ID: 000000df332f7c9e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/08/2022 This is one of the best scraper's I used. Less fluff, more productivity. Works right from your sheets and scarpes. It's Safe, Fast and Easy to learn. No need for expensive credits, proxies and premium scraping tools which take a long learning curve. just get through the detailed initial setup and you will be on your way to be a pro. Dont miss this one, surprised it works so well

Andy Lim (ID: 00000051d24ec3c4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/30/2022 Sheets Genei makes scraping so easy. I thought it would be a complicated process. Furthermore, it doesn't need proxies. You can scrape data from Amazon, Youtube (comments), Subreddit threads, Google SERPs etc. As long as the data is available on the browser, Sheets Genei can fetch those data.

Anil Agrawal (ID: 0000003cd5ca5768) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/30/2022 SheetsGenie Chrome Extension was easy to install and then super easy to use following the instructions. With proper instructions provided in one of the videos from a webinar, I was able to do a test scraping. This will help me, as an example, scrape my own purchases from a site in a matter of minutes automatically into a Google Sheet rather than going through a painful process of reading, copying, and pasting information from my account purchases one by one taking hours. Thank you for creating this automation tool.

Sandy Bayne (ID: 000000af37f483b3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/10/2022 SheetsGenie is a great scraping tool because it's customizable. I love that I can choose what data I want to scrape and how I want to scrape it. The tool is easy to use and the results are accurate.
