Market landscape - web scraping
Jinfo Report
25th September 2019
Abstract
Web scraping service providers extract data from websites either through the web or using Hypertext Transfer Protocol or via a web browser. Whilst web scraping can be done manually, it usually involves automated processes carried out using a bot or web crawler. The copied data is usually added to a database or spreadsheet and retrieved later for analysis. This is a selection of the providers available.
In this market landscape we look at four web scraping service providers:
- Crawlbot
- Firehose
- Dexi.io
- Octoparse.
We provide a brief description of the products and a link to the service provider's homepage. We also cover corporate structure, pricing model, and links with other vendors.
