WebScraper.io

WebScraper.io is a visual web scraping tool with a point-and-click builder and cloud extraction for structured data at scale.

Overview

WebScraper.io lets you map a site visually: click through the pages, mark the data you want and the tool builds a sitemap that extracts it into CSV or JSON. The browser extension handles quick local jobs, while the cloud service runs large crawls with proxies, scheduling and API delivery. AI assists in identifying repeated page structures and suggesting selectors, which speeds setup on unfamiliar sites. It handles pagination, infinite scroll and multi-level navigation for e-commerce and directory sites.

Key Features

• Point-and-click sitemap builder in the browser
• Cloud extraction with proxies and scheduling
• AI-assisted selector suggestions for faster setup
• CSV and JSON exports plus API delivery
• Pagination and infinite-scroll handling
• Team collaboration on shared scraping projects

Pricing

WebScraper.io offers a free extension for local scraping and paid cloud plans by crawl credits and features, with a free trial available.

Who Is It For

It fits analysts, e-commerce teams and developers who want visual scraping without writing crawler code.

How It Works

Open the sitemap builder in the browser, click through the target site and mark the data points to extract. Run extraction locally for quick jobs or push the sitemap to the cloud for large crawls with proxies and scheduling. Output exports as CSV and JSON or delivers through the API, and AI suggestions speed up selector creation on unfamiliar layouts.

In Practice

Visual sitemap creation is fastest on repetitive page structures like product listings; for unusual sites, budget time for selector tuning. Use the cloud tier for anything recurring — local runs depend on your machine staying on. Save sitemaps as reusable assets; sites change layouts less often than teams rebuild scrapers from scratch.
