Summary
For the review, @outscrape set me up with a copy of his web scraper. Summarised, it's like a general scraper tool where you can "build" your own scraper projects to use on many different types of websites. It works well and it's just as advertised. The details of the review can be found below.

Service Highlights

• It's really easy to start using. The software practically guides you through the project setup process.
• The user interface is clean.
  
• The software doesn't hog resources, so while you're waiting for your scraping project to finish, you can work on other tasks at the same time.
  
• All of the options in the sales graphics are present
  
• The project save/load feature really makes it a breeze to continue where you left off.

What Could Use Improvement

• I felt a short guide for the software would've been nice.

Additional Information

• Those of you who buy the software may note that there are a couple of instances where @outscrape advertises his e-book. He actually already submitted a BST for the e-book, and in fact I approved both BSTs at the same time.
• There's a bug in the software that @outscrape is currently working on fixing. Just avoid clicking the data tab while the scraper is running as it causes the program to become unresponsive (although your scraping project will still run).

Many many thanks to @Zwielicht for his review.

A very powerful scraper that is easy to use. You are just a few clicks away to massive harvesting.

When will you be doing your next update to this?
I tried the trial and this is not as versatile as one would expect. Thats my opinion and I've a strong feeling I'm doing something wrong.
Really struggling to set this up for social media scraping.
A detailed tutorial on scraping for each social network could be useful (mainly FB, IG, LI, YT and Twitter)

What's Major Difference between OUTSCRAPE and Scarpebox?

 

[whoami]

This sounds really great. Just to be clear, it appears that if I were to buy the ebook that would give us lifetime access instead of a year's access for the $97?

Thank you for giving it a try! That's a great suggestion for tutorials and I will work on that. I have tested it with Twitter, let me see if I can get more tutorials for other sites.

I built Outscrape to work on the vast majority of sites where pages are formatted more or less the same (craigslist is the perfect example, but so is a site like Ebay, and to a lesser extent, LinkedIn or Twitter). This can be tricky if not impossible for something like Facebook, but for many others it should be good, including the ones you mentioned. It is possible you were having an issue.

I'll send you a DM soon and see if I can help you out!

What's Major Difference between OUTSCRAPE and Scarpebox?

Scrapebox is an amazing scraping tool, but it's very different from Outscrape. Scrapebox is a harvester that is basically built to grab specific things from specific sites—URLS from Google, proxies from forums, etc.

Outscrape has a functionality closer to a custom scraper built in something like Zennoposter, or more accurately, a scraping tool you'd build with a scraping language like BeautifulSoup or Scrapy. It lets you scrape MOST websites, not just the popular ones like Google, for ANY part of the site—an image URL, a screen name, an address, etc. YOU decide what to scrape, and where to scrape it from, by building a template for each site you want to scrape.

However, Outscrape gives you all the power of those languages (speed, headless scraping) with an even more intuitive visual UI than something like Zennoposter. Because it's built JUST for scraping, it's got a few simple commands that let you point-and-click to scrape. Make sure to watch the tutorials on the homepage!

This sounds really great. Just to be clear, it appears that if I were to buy the ebook that would give us lifetime access instead of a year's access for the $97?

Sorry, that's not quite right. If you buy the ebook you will ALWAYS get the $97 yearly price—it will go up in a few months. I apologize that was confusing!

 

[whoami]

Ah, I see. So buying the ebook would lock us into the $97 yearly price instead of the higher one. Got it!

i tried the trail version but few sites telling me that my browser is outdated

Can use this software to scrape high authority backlink opportunities?

 

[shimi]

I see you have 2 scraper software
1 - Outscrape
2 - Simple scraper
Can you explain the different?
And I know some sites don't like scrapers, does your software have some tricks to go around that, like proxies or any other tricks?

Thanks

 

[shimi]

Sorry for more questions:
3) Is this software is easier than scrapy?
4) Do you have feature of "emulation" or pause after x-y seconds, so it can scrape slowly without get cached

Thanks

 

[outscrape]

Can use this software to scrape high authority backlink opportunities?

Yes, you can! You can scrape all sorts of backlinks, as long as you have a site where the data is located, and the pages are relatively well-structured.

The main difference is that Outscrape works on the following and the Simple Scraper doesn't:
- Mac OSX as well as Windows
- Pages that require logins
- Pages with infinite scrolls (Twitter and Facebook are a good example)
- Pages that require you to click a button or enter text to get results (like a search page), or login pages
- Sites that require proxies


The Simple Scraper is much more basic. Also, Outscrape is a little bit easier to use, but uses slightly more resources. They are similar otherwise—and both use xpath for scraping (how it chooses the elements on the page).

No worries—thanks for asking some great questions.

This software is easier than scrapy—It's built to be for non-programmers, so you can click and build a scraping template, rather than using code. But, in the back-end, it uses a scraping engine like scrapy to do all the hard work, after you set it up using point-and-click interfaces (PhantomJS).

Yes, there is a pause feature—Wait between navigation (ms)—in Outscrape, but not in the Simple Scraper.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

If you don't mind me asking, what is "headless"?

 

[submit]

Has anyone used this tool?

 

[acp0rnstar]

I'm interested in this but new to scraping so I'm still kind of confused on how I would use this. Could explain a real world example on how you would use this and how you could use the data? In your images, I understand that Craigslist is scrapeable but I'm not sure how what I would scrape from CL and how I could actually use it.

 

[outscrape]

sorry but you need video tutorals the reading get heavy .

There are several video tutorials for the software here: https://www.outscrape.com/start/

Please scroll to the bottom of the page There are 4 videos for different scenarios.

1) A command walkthrough, so you can see all the commands and familiarize yourself with them!

2) A demonstration of scraping Craigslist—which is a very basic site, and helps understand how the software works.

3) Scraping on Infinite Scroll Sites, such as shopping pages or social media where clicking "show more" creates more content without loading a new page.

4) Scraping "Multi-tiered" sites, such as those where you need to load search results, visit each page of the result, and continue searching for more items.

Here's an example!

If you don't mind me asking, what is "headless"?

"Headless" is a slang term for a web browser that doesn't render the page fully or in a visual way. This means that you can still grab the data, but you don't slow down the scraping by "rendering" the page. Most visual web scrapers require you to render the page to complete the scraping. The unique thing about Outscrape is that you create your template with a visual UI, but the scraping happens via a much faster, headless scraping language, like Scrapy or Python which you've heard people talk about.

Outscrape is the best of both worlds!

Actually, that's a great question! That's why I wrote Web Scraping Secrets Exposed—which is on sale here at BHW—and which tells you exactly what you can do with scraped data. Think of it like a secret treasure map for finding data and using it to make money. Click here to take a look:
