Data Scraping and Web Scraping Services

Custom crawlers and extraction pipelines that turn public web data into something your business can use. Built to keep running, not to break in three weeks.

The data is public. Getting it is the problem.

Competitor pricing, market listings, supplier catalogs, industry directories, public records. The information you need to make decisions is usually sitting on the open web. It is just spread across a thousand pages with no export button.

Most businesses handle this by having someone copy and paste for a few hours a week, which produces data that is stale, incomplete, and inconsistently formatted. Or they buy a generic tool and watch it break the first time the target changes its layout.

We build extraction as engineering projects: structured output, change detection, error handling, and maintenance.

What we build

Competitive price monitoringTrack competitor pricing, stock, and promotions on a schedule, with alerting on the changes that matter.

Market and listing dataReal estate listings, marketplace inventory, job postings, and event data, aggregated, deduplicated, and normalized.

Lead and prospect researchStructured contact and firmographic data from public directories and industry sources, cleaned and deduplicated against your CRM.

Catalog and product dataSupplier catalogs, spec sheets, and product data normalized into your schema for import.

Public records and compliance dataLicensing, permits, filings, and registry data monitored for changes.

Content and SERP monitoringRanking data, SERP feature tracking, and competitor content change detection. We built this tooling for our own SEO work first.

Legality and ethics

We are direct about this because most vendors are not.

What we do: extract publicly accessible data, respect robots.txt and rate limits, avoid authentication walls unless you hold a legitimate account and the terms permit it, and follow applicable data protection law including GDPR and CCPA where personal data is involved.

What we do not do: bypass authentication or paywalls, defeat anti-bot systems in violation of a site terms of service, scrape personal data without a lawful basis, or build anything designed to overwhelm a target infrastructure.

Scraping public data is broadly lawful in the United States, but broadly lawful is not always lawful for your specific use. Terms of service, copyright, database rights, and privacy law all apply depending on what you collect and what you do with it. Every engagement starts with a feasibility review covering both the technical and the legal picture. We are not lawyers, and for anything close to the line you should have counsel review it.

Target sites change their markup regularly and every scraper eventually breaks. Anyone selling you a one-time scraper as a permanent solution is misleading you. Budget for maintenance or buy a managed pipeline.

Frequently asked questions

Is web scraping legal?

Extracting publicly accessible data is broadly lawful in the United States, but it depends on the source, the data type, and your use. Terms of service, copyright, and privacy law all apply. We run a feasibility and legal review on every engagement and decline work we cannot support. This is not legal advice, and for anything borderline you should involve your own counsel.

What does a scraping project cost?

Cost scales with source complexity and anti-bot measures rather than with record volume. One-time extracts sit at the low end, monitored pipelines add a monthly hosting and maintenance component.

How long until I have data?

Simple sources take about a week. Complex or JavaScript-heavy sources with anti-bot measures take two to four weeks. The feasibility review gives you a real estimate in a couple of days.

What if the site changes and it breaks?

It will, eventually. Monitored pipelines include maintenance for a defined period and the Managed Data Service includes it on an ongoing basis. One-time extracts do not, which is the tradeoff for the lower price.

Can you scrape sites behind a login?

Only where you hold a legitimate account and the terms of service permit automated access. We do not bypass authentication.

Can you get around anti-bot protection?

We handle ordinary rate limiting and standard bot detection through respectful crawling: proper delays, sensible request patterns, honest identification. We do not defeat protection systems in violation of a site terms. If a target has explicitly blocked automated access, that is a decision we respect.

Can you scrape Google results?

For SEO purposes we use licensed data providers rather than scraping Google directly, because scraping Google violates their terms. Same data, no risk to you.
