Pros

“For PM-related research, it can be useful when pulling product listings, pricing information, reviews, or other structured web data into a more usable format.”

Jerrid C.

CEO

“It is a useful tool for extracting structured data from websites and turning that information into something I can analyze or share with clients.”

Jerrid C.

CEO

“For my consulting work, the biggest value is saving time on research-heavy tasks that would otherwise require a lot of manual copying, formatting, and cleanup.”

Jerrid C.

CEO

Pros

“The ease of use, simplicity, and reliability of the service is top notch.”

John S.

Founder

“Ease of use and the API functionality makes it easy for anyone on my team to use and can be quickly added to analysis projects to gather additional data or verify existing.”

Bryan H.

Director of Technical Operations

“Google has been pretty good at blocking programmatic requests even for non-commercial, self-archival purposes and ScraperAPI has been extremely effective and getting around those. While getting the requests routed through ScraperAPI has been much slower than say, routing it through one of the free proxy servers,”

Arun K.

Associate Research Scholar

Cons

“Some setup steps and error states could use better guidance, especially when a scrape fails or when the extracted data needs cleanup before it is useful.”

Jerrid C.

CEO

“Even though I'm quite experienced in Python, I don't ever use it for building web scraping tool.”

Irfan A.

Data Analyst

“The biggest drawback of Octoparse is its occasional performance issues with large-scale scraping, which can lead to slower execution and data limits”
