Developer’s Description

By Screen-scraper

Mark URLs and extract data from various Web sites.

Screen-scraper is a tool for extracting data from Web sites. It works much like a database that allows you to mine the data of the World Wide Web. It provides a graphical interface allowing you to designate URL's, data elements to be extracted, and scripting logic to traverse pages and work with mined data. Once these items have been created, Screen-scraper can be invoked from external languages such as .NET, Java, PHP, and Active Server Pages. It can also be scheduled to scrape information at periodic intervals.

Screen-scraper offers solutions to many common business problems. One of the most frequent uses of our software and services is to mine data on products and download them to a spreadsheet. A more sophisticated example would be a meta-search engine wherein a search query entered by a user is simultaneously run on multiple web sites in real-time, after which the results are displayed in a single interface. Version 4 offers increased stability.

very robust web extractor
gtbflMarch 12, 2010
Pros
lots of support documentation at their site. robust - not buggy Flexible tool for extracting web data
Cons
You will need some programming experience or a high motivation to learn. Java experience would be best as most documentation illustrates java examples
Summary
I love this product. If you are looking for a free tool to scrape data from the web and have a little programming experience then this tool should fit your needs
too detailed setup - requires extra security

Pros
free, extensive functionality
Cons
does require system access, vista prompts for security, detailed setup
Summary
I do not feel comfortable with freewares that require system access. I recommend setting up an isolated environment (like a virtual PC) to install and run this product.
Great for grabbing what I need from the web!
