Scrape data using a point and click interface

See this video demonstration to know how easy it is to scrape data from websites using WebHarvy. Also, see the various ways in which data can be selected for extraction.

Intelligently identifies patterns of data in web pages.

One of the major design goals which we had while developing WebHarvy is that users should be able scrape data from web sites with minimum amount of interaction with the software. This implies minimum amount of key presses and mouse clicks.

So while you are trying to scrape a list of repeating data items like name, address, email address, price etc. from a web page, WebHarvy will not ask you whether you are trying to capture a single data item or a list of items, unlike other web data extraction software. If data repeats, WebHarvy will intelligently identify it.

Scrape multi-level category listings of websites

'Category Scraping' feature of WebHarvy allows you to scrape data listed under multiple categories of websites using a single configuration. Multiple levels of category listings can be easily scraped using a configuration created by following a very simple procedure as shown in the following video.

The Category Scraping feature is especially useful for extracting details of products listed under various categories (and sub categories) of eCommerce / online shopping websites.
