Web Scraper - Free Web Scraping Extension

Free and easy to use web data extraction tool for everyone.

With a simple point-and-click interface, the ability to extract thousands of records from a website takes only a few minutes of scraper setup.

Web Scraper utilizes a modular structure that is made of selectors, which instruct the scraper on how to traverse the target site and what data to extract. Thanks to this structure, data mining from modern and dynamic websites such as Amazon, Tripadvisor, eBay, as well as from lesser-known sites is effortless.

Data extraction is run on your browser and doesn’t require anything to be installed on your computer. You don't need Python, PHP, or JavaScript coding experience to start scraping. Additionally, it is possible to completely automate data extraction in Web Scraper Cloud.

Once the data is scraped, download it as a CSV or XLSX file that can be further imported into Excel, Google Sheets, etc.

Features
Web Scraper is a simple web scraping tool that allows you to use many advanced features to get the exact information you are looking for. It offers features like:
* Data scraping from multiple pages;
* Multiple data extraction types (text, images, URL’s, and more);
* Scraping data from dynamic pages (JavaScript + AJAX, infinite scroll);
* Browsing scraped data;
* Exporting scraped data from a website to Excel;
It is dependent only on the web browser; therefore, no extra software needed for you to start scraping.

How to begin scraping?
There are only a couple of steps you will need to learn in order to master web scraping:
1. Install the extension and open the Web Scraper tab in developer tools (which has to be placed at the bottom of the screen);
2. Create a new sitemap;
3. Add data extraction selectors to the sitemap;
4. Lastly, launch the scraper and export scraped data.
It’s as easy as that!

What can Web Scraper be used for?
* Lead generation - email, phone number, other contact detail related data mining from various websites;
* E-commerce - product data extraction, product price scraping, description, URL extraction, image retrieving, etc;
* Website content crawling - extract information from news portals, blogs, forums and so on;

M Mawuru (ID: 00000024ae1fa5f1) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/10/2023 Never worked for me. After install it comes up with warning errors and does not even present the console you are supposed to see. I tried to install the latest browser of Chrome many times and ended up wasting too much time instead of saving time with this tool.

Charles Quenum (ID: 000000e5a425755a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/19/2023 The tool was really good few years ago, but now the guy who maintain it has broke some parts of the extension !

Wayne Swart (ID: 000000daacc8c7c6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/14/2023 I have been looking at quite a lot of web scrapers and even considered writing my own, until I found this extension. At first I tried to figure it out on my own, but I would suggest watching the video tutorials in order to see how to use it properly. I can highly recommend this extension! Does the job extremely well!
