DataGrab

This tool gave me exactly what I needed and was much easier to use than the alternatives I tried. I had to do some manual work to clean my data up, but this largely came down to issues with the website I was scraping from not having consistent elements in their UI. The pricing is affordable and the developer, Robert, is willing to go above and beyond to ensure you have a good experience with the tool. Definitely recommend checking this out if you need to scrape hundreds of sites!

Helped me in a pinch! Very efficient and very easy to use. Thank you Robert!

Neutral score because I couldn't use it either. Clicking on the extension in chrome doesn't open anything.

Hi Jean-Marie! Can you try refreshing the page you're trying to scrape after installing the extension? I'm working on a fix to make the extension available on all existing tabs after installing it. Let me know if this solves the issue.

Mine does nothing as well!

Hi Nafiseh! Sorry to hear that. Can you elaborate on this? Does the extension open at all? Does running the session work? Whatever it is, I'll fix it asap. Thanks!

Hi Sean! I'm sorry to hear that. Can you elaborate a bit? The extension doesn't open at all, or running the session doesn't work, or something else? Whatever it is, I'll fix it asap. Thanks!

Great, but no idea how to use the attribute function, I want to select a hyperlink that contains a video as you hover, the guide doesn't list what all the functions do.

Hi Jacob! Thank you for the feedback! An attribute field allows extracting the value of an HTML attribute (e.g. data-*) instead of the text content of the element. I'll revise the guide and elaborate on this. Let me also drop you an email to learn about the particular site you're trying to scrape and how can I help.

I like it!

This gives you super powers in the browser! 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!

Clean and intuitive interface -- OctoParse was a hell, and my salvation has come from DataGrab. Thank you for your efforts!

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?

Hi Toni! Thanks for trying it out! :) Sure, drop an email to support@datagrab.io and we'll discuss the details afterwards. If possible, please export your configuration as a JSON file (click the Export button in the Configuration section) and attach it to the email so I could review it.
