Screen Scrape

Scrape Scrape Made Simple

Screen scraping is a procedure whereby companies or individuals use a software program to retrieve or “scrape” information off a variety of websites simultaneously. A quality screen scraping system is not limited to a single format, since data exists in a variety of forms.

The Mozenda Web Agent Builder is a useful tool which allows you to quickly and easily “scrape” the contents of websites into easy to use formats such as CSV, XML, and even Excel. To get started you just define the tasks your screen scraper will perform on a particular web page, and Mozenda does the work, assembling and parsing the information, and placing it your fingertips in a manner that is useful for your own aims.

There’s no magic here. This is the next stage in tech evolution. Researchers will find Mozenda’S patent-pending platform a treat to discover. Whether in the legal, academic, technical or marketing fields, Mozenda has applications which are yet to be discovered, limited only by the imaginations of its users.
