On-demand Web Scraping Services & Products

Simply put, Web scrapers are just like screen scrapers doing web data scraping, extracting information and reblending them for more uses.

Many web screen scraping tools exist, however, to fully adapt to your specific requirements and changing demands, a ready-made Web scraper tool or any Web scraping software is simply incompetent. You need custom Web scraping service, which is not only going to scrape web page but also other online materials such as PDF, Flash, audios and even videos.

Net web page scraping can be done in a variety of languages, such as

• Python
• PHP
• Perl
• Ruby (on Rails)
• ASP
• .Net (C#, VB)
• Java

And, in order to be more versatile in administering the data content, you can choose to scrape for a specific platform such as a blog or a forum script:

• phpBB
• MyBB
• WordPress
• ...

All the above web programming languages are fully able to screen scrape web pages for web data. However we work primarily on PHP for all web page screen scraping projects.
