Import.io

Import.io is a paid web data parsing tool that allows you to extract information from websites, something that used to be available only to programming experts. Just highlight what you want, and Import.io will go through the site and “explore” what you’re interested in. Import.io will parse, clean and extract data for analysis or export.

Import.io is an online platform that you can use to get data from web pages (data scraping) without having to know how to program or write code. The tool allows you to create your own API to import the data.

To retrieve data from a desired page on a website, the user enters a direct link to that page and shows import.io what kind of data is needed. The system has learning algorithms, where import.io gathers all the information from a few examples of user-defined data on its own.

The data collected by the user from the website pages is stored on the import.io server and can be uploaded as CSV, Excel, Google Sheets or JSON files.

An advanced user can generate an API that allows you to integrate third-party data into your project and have changes made automatically in real time.

The import.io service has a simplified version, magic.import.io, where you only need to enter a link. You can see the functionality of the data collection implementation in one of the examples.

Import.io has more options for importing data and is a kind of browser.

Import.io has an extensive help section with tutorial videos and documents, as well as a forum where you can ask your question to the community.
