Web Crawlers

Web Crawlers

Spiders have been crawling the web since the beginning. These automated programs crawl across the internet browsing for information. Search engines use web crawlers to locate URLs, catalog hyperlinks and generally map the landscape of cyberspace. Many larger websites use web crawlers to identify broken links and dropped pages in their own cyber-territory. Webcrawling or spidering has therefore been a useful tool for gathering timely information from the cyber frontier.

Mozenda is a powerful data harvesting web crawler with a wide range of applications for savvy individuals, agencies and businesses. Mozenda software allows you to harvest all types of information from the web. Through an intuitive User Interface you can quickly and easily turn text on web pages into structured data files such as XLS, CSV, TSV, and XML.

It’s a little like unlocking a vault. Without the right tools and experience, you’re pretty much relegated to whatever is outside the vault. With the Mozenda platform as your tool, and the Mozenda tech team as your experience, you’ll have access to the rich treasure trove of information the internet holds.
