Web-scraping is the process of extracting data from websites and storing that data in a structured, easy-to-use format. The value of a web-scraping tool like Content Grabber is that you can easily specify and collect large amounts of source data that may be very dynamic (data that changes very frequently). Usually, data available on the Internet has little or no structure and is only viewable with a web browser. Elements such as text, images, video, and sound are built into a web page so that they are presentable in a web browser. It can be very tedious to manually capture and separate this data, and can require many hours of effort to complete. With Content Grabber, you can automate this process and capture website data in a fraction of the time that it would take using other methods.

Web-scraping software interacts with websites in the same way as you do when using your web browser. However, in addition to displaying the data in a browser on your screen, web-scraping software saves the data from the web page to a local file or database.

Scalable and Reliable
Content Grabber is targeted at companies with a critical reliance on web scraping, and a focus on scalability and reliability.

The web contains a massive amount of data and Content Grabber will extract it faster and more reliable than any other software, with the help of multi-threading, optimized web browsers, and many other performance tuning options.

Our powerful testing and debugging features help you build reliable agents, and solid error handling and error recovery will keep the agents running in the most difficult scenarios.

Build Hundreds of Web Scraping Agents
The ease-of-use and visual approach of the Content Grabber agent editor makes it suitable for building hundreds of web scraping agents, much faster than with any other software.

The agent editor automatically detects and configures the required commands. It will automatically create lists of content and links, handle pagination and web forms, download or upload files and configure any other action you perform on a web page. At the same time, you always have the option to manually fine tune the commands, so Content Grabber gives you both simplicity and control.

With hundreds of web scraping agents, you need the right tools to manage them all, and Content Grabber will not let you down. You can view status and logs of all your agents, or run and schedule your agents in one centralized location.

You are free to sell or give away your self-contained agents, and you can add promotional messages and adverts to the agents' user interface.

Customize Everything with Scripting
Scripting is an integral part of Content Grabber and can be used for those situations where you need some special features to get everything done exactly as you want it.
