Very nice tool. I am scraping data multiple pages deep quite successfully (eg. I am selecting links on a "contents" page and the tool follows the links and records the specific data I want from deeper pages). It helps if you know how to use CSS Selectors. I am a programmer and I could write something in a couple of afternoons to do what I want at a basic level, but this tool allowed me to create the scraper very quickly and simply. In my usage pattern, I run the scraper weekly (to collect property sales data), export the data as a csv then import it into a google sheet (which allows appending). Works extremely well. The visual element selector allows you to quickly see what the CSS selectors are picking up. The website I'm scraping recently changed some of their HTML code, breaking one of the selectors, but in a few minutes I used this tool to identify what had changed and I could easily fix the problem. Thank you for your work guys! Also, the paid version lets you run the scraper in the cloud (like if you want to schedule it to run automatically). I haven't had a need to use this, I can do what I want quite well with the free version. People who are scraping for businesses purposes and who have multiple sites they need to regularly scrape would likely benefit from the paid version. One other thing, I had the sitemap (the definition of all the selectors for the scraper) on my work computer and I needed to transfer it to my personal computer. The tool's sitemap export allowed me to easily export and then re-import on the other computer! Great tool!
Pure trash, worthless
This is really the best tool I have ever seen. Noob people can not use it, to utilize it properly you have to be skilled. Just a few problems I found are that some websites have high protection to stop scrapping, This tool sometimes does not run for those sites. But maximum site it works fine. Love it. Love this team Thanks a lot. (It took me a long time to understand how this tool really works. XPath, HTML + CSS, a Few days ago also notice jQuery knowledge also help me to use it advanced)
