Octoparse: A Revolutionary Web Scraping Software

Octoparse is the ultimate tool for data extraction (web crawling, data crawling and data scraping), which lets you turn the whole internet into a structured format. The newly launched Web Scraping Template makes it very easy even for people with no technical training.

If you were an Amazon seller, would you want to know the listing price of a product of all competitors? Since you don’t have the direct access to the Amazon database, you are out of luck and have to browse and click through every listing for constructing a table of sellers and price. A web scraping tool comes in handy. It does automatically download your desired information such as product name, seller’s name, price, etc. However, web scraping that requires coding skill can be painful for professionals in IT, SEO, marketing, e-commerce, real estate, hospitality, etc. It seems beyond one’s job description if he/she needs to learn how to code for getting some useful data from the web. For example, I have a friend who graduated in Mass Communication and works as a content marketer. She wants to scrape some data from the web so she decided to learn Python herself. It took her two weeks to come up with a page of messy codes. Not only did she waste time on learning Python, but she also lost time for doing her real work.


Even you don’t code and can use a web scraper to download the desired data, it still requires some technical, non-coding configuration when using a traditional web scraping tool. What if there is a web scraping template, just like the Powerpoint templates (where you choose and start doing real work instead of starting from a blank page), that you can choose and start downloading data from your choice of website? May I introduce you the Octoparse Web Scraping Templates!

What else is so special compared to other web scrapers (web crawler)?

What makes Octoparse special

  1. Octoparse simulates human operation through a built-in browser. The robots mimic the action of human to browse, search and extract the data. Advanced setting including web scrolling, wait before execution and etc makes the whole extraction process humanized and smoother.
  2. To prevent defensive websites with anti-scraping techniques, Octoparse provides proxy server, IP rotation, user agents, CAPTCHA bypass, cookie clear and etc to prevent the interruption of web scraping.
  3. You can enjoy a sip of coffee and leave the extraction to Octoparse by setting the extraction time and frequency. Or you can run the task on the cloud so it won’t occupy your local resource.
