Free and easy to use web scraping tool for everyone.
With a simple point-and-click interface, the ability to extract thousands of records from a website takes only a few minutes of scraper setup.
Web Scraper utilizes a modular structure that is made of selectors, which instructs the scraper on how to traverse the target site and what data to extract. Thanks to this structure, Web Scraper is able to extract information from modern and dynamic websites such as Amazon, Tripadvisor, eBay, and so on, as well as from smaller, lesser-known websites.
Web Scraper runs in your browser and doesn’t anything require to be installed on your computer. You don’t need any Python, PHP, or JavaScript coding experience to start scraping with Web Scraper. Additionally, Web Scraper offers you the ability to completely automate data extraction in Web Scraper Cloud.
Once the data is scraped, download it as a CSV file that can be further imported into Excel, Google Sheets, etc.

Thank you for choosing Web Scraper!
Amazing tool for scrapping data.Thank you sooo much to freely available Great product .
The developer(s) are AWOL and do not add any new features or bug fixes. Their website forum has been abandoned and is only filled with requests and bugs that go unanswered. Developer might have passed away from COVID. 🙁
I was searching for an easy tool for work. I found it.
Thank you!!! 5 stars for sure
amazing
Used it on dozens of sites, it really gets the job done! There are some issue with the UI that are not intuitive and I often have to try several different approaches to get it working, although if I hadn’t taken the time to learn about the product I would have dismissed it as being too complex to use, take time to learn how all the available options work so that you’ll be able to utilize them when needed, don’t get frustrated and be patient, eventually you’ll discover how powerful it can be.
best……………….
Great, easier to use than the rest. Though it only works on Firefox, not Chrome
已经足够好用了：对我等非专业选手，使用也不是很难，网上教程挺多，例子也多，上手较为容易，结果比较满意，点赞！
The Extension works just fine, however does not follow a linear order of scraping elements in the order they occur on the website. the extraction is unordered which make it difficult to order them manually as per their occurrences. can any body help me out on this ? will update my rating if the issue is resolved.
I’m currently trying to scrape info from “https://covid-19.ontario.ca/assessment-centre-locations”. if any one can help, that will be great
Perfect I love it
Very powerful and easy to use. Recommended!
Its perfect.
And yes you do have to read the documentation to get started, but what else are you expecting?
Horrible piece of human waste! Ruined my work. If I have to double check everything myself manually, what’s the point of using it? It misses to pick up data. Often doesn’t work at all.
No way to scrap a list of urls that follow no scheme (like url/012 or etc.) : i will to copy/paste 500+ urls in the “start_url” !!!
Really useful and great user experience, loved the downloading options buttons on the new tab once the page’s been captured. Thanks for developing this 🙂

Amazing, does what is described and very powerful. It is very enjoyable and exciting to use.
Very usefull
eh needs work
Would be nice to add an option to use a URL list local file/Text list field as source.
A partir de la nueva actualización, Todo se daño! El ayudante para tomar selectores ya no funciona en todas las paginas. Nada más en las que se le da la gana. Lo dañaron por completo.
Its the best free tool available. I have my share of free & paid tool but webscraper.io is the best. Sometime, I feel frustrated thinking the tool is not working like I want it to & its useless but after trail & error I know the tool is fine I am an idiot for doing some silly mistake. Anyone who thinks its not working, take a break & try some other way
Helped
Can’t see the sections that is being selected because of the dimming of the screen. The older version is a LOT better.
the video tutorial is the worst video ever, no explanation…
