The big winners in SEO are those that know how to programmatically build and deploy large, well structured data sets. DataGrab is rocket fuel for any entrepreneur that is building a data-driven service. Also Robert is very responsive to support requests, he's unrivalled in the web-scraping game. Thanks!

Toni Saputra (ID: 00000039ca3f954b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/12/2021 Hi there, I try to using this tools and it works great. But I think the "Run in Browser" feature doesn't really work. When I try to run it, there will be a little pop-up text said "No fields added". I already add some fields tho. Can you help me with this?

Bryce Davies (ID: 00000006857324c0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/19/2021 This is such a great tool! Works across lots of different websites, particularly love the ability to extract data from multiple pages by letting the extension click "Next", "Load More" or via Infinite Scroll. Would recommend this tool to anyone who wants to automate extracting data from web pages!
