You can train a robot to scrape, extract and monitor almost any content on a website. Here's a full overview of what they are able to scrape and monitor.

Extracting and scraping structured and unstructured web data

Robots can scrape and extract both structured and unstructured data from any website. This includes:

Navigating websites to scrape and monitor dynamic content

You can train your robot to handle complex website interactions including:

Monitoring for website changes

When a website's content changes, you can train your robot to provide custom alerts.

This includes the ability to:

  • Keep your data up to date with instant monitoring and updates

  • Monitor specific pages or data points

  • Send notifications when changes occur

  • Track historical data changes

  • Support multiple monitoring configurations per robot

Bulk automations and workflows

Once you train a robot to scrape or monitor data, you can easily scale by:

Reliability and scale

Robots are automatically trained to reliably extract, scrape, and monitor data at scale.

  • When websites change, robots are trained to adapt the code so that your data doesn't break.

  • Built in bot evasion in our core platform which includes IP address management, proxy management, rate limiting and more.

  • Automated error recovery and retries with performance optimization.

Integrate or export your scraped data

Export scraped data into a spreadsheet or database

Integrate with 7,000+ apps and tools
