Spider Pro

Maker

Hi hunters! I made Spider, an easy-to-use web scraping tool that turns websites into organized data. It requires 0 configuration or programming experience, simply just start clicking! I was trying to gather a specific set of data that was scattered among blog posts and websites. Most of the scraping tools out there focus on recurring scraping of multi-page mega sites like Yelp. Although they do provide analytic data around the scraped results, it was not what I needed. I need something that allows me to easily scrap multiple webpages as I browse (like websites I only visit once), 0 friction (no upfront configuration needed), and persists the data (so I can keep growing the list as I scrape), and then generates a CSV. Also cheap. Hence the building of Spider, and it really did solve my problem! If you constantly find yourself scraping data, I hope this tool helps you too! I'm working on some new features so please sign up here(https://spider.amie-chen.com/) and let me know your use case. I'd love to make it useful for everyone.
