Content Grabber

Content Grabber is an online parsing software designed for businesses. It can extract content from almost any web site and save it as structured data in the format of your choice, including Excel reports, XML, CSV and most databases. It is more suitable for people with advanced programming skills as it offers many powerful editing scripts, debugging interfaces for advanced users. Users can use C# or VB.NET to debug or write scripts to control the parsing process.

Web scraping is the process of extracting data from web sites and storing that data in a structured, easy-to-use format. The value of a web scraping tool such as Content Grabber is that you can easily specify and collect large amounts of raw data that can be very dynamic (data that changes very frequently). Usually, the data available on the Internet has little or no structure and can only be viewed with a web browser. Elements such as text, images, video, and sound are built into a web page so that they are presented in a web browser. It can be very tedious to manually capture and separate this data and can take many hours of effort to complete. With Content Grabber, you can automate this process and capture website data in a small fraction of the time using other methods. Web scraping software interacts with Web sites in the same way that you would with a Web browser. However, in addition to displaying browser data on your screen, web scraping software saves data from a web page in a local file or database.
