Frequently Asked Questions
How is web scraping used in business?
The sky’s the limit here. Web scraping will prove handy in analyzing reviews, generating email leads, checking competitor sites, comparing prices across different providers, managing social media, gathering statistics, and improving SEO rankings.
What’s the best web scraping tool?
There are many different tools out there. Which one to choose depends on how advanced your coding skills are and what projects you’re working on. If you can’t code, go with No-Code Scraper, ParseHub, or Octoparse. If you prefer Python, try Scrapy or Beautiful Soup. And if you’re more of a Node.js kinda person, try Cheerio or Puppeteer.
Does Smartproxy have any tools for web scraping?
Yes, we do! We’ve developed No-Code Scraper, a no-code tool with smart selectors that’ll let you identify and choose multiple fields of the same value with a single click. No-Code Scraper allows you to use pre-made scraping templates, extracts data from any website, including dynamic ones, scrapes images, exports data in JSON or CSV, and conveniently schedules data delivery. Last but not least, No-Code Scraper has a free version called No-Code Scraper extension, which you can get on the Chrome store!
In addition to No-Code Scraper, we have a tutorial for a Python scraper or a library for Scrapy to help with Smartproxy residential proxy authentication.
Should I use proxies for web scraping?
Not should, but you must! Proxies are as important as a scraper. We recommend rotating residential proxies because each residential IP is a real mobile or desktop device. So, to any website, traffic from residential proxies looks like a request from an ordinary person. That’s why a constant supply of IP addresses that belong to real devices is a must.
What are some interesting web scraping projects?
Scraping the web is truly creative so let your imagination run riot. For example, how about creating something useful for your community or friends? Let’s say your friends are looking for a new flat. You could make a scraper that tracks the prices of flats in a specific location and gives alerts when prices drop or a new offer appears. This way, your friends will get the best offers first.
What is web scraping?
Web scraping is the automated extraction of publicly available data from various targets, like SERPs and websites.
