2 questions:

1. If I wanted to exclusively use this to scrape emails from websites how hard would it be to set up for someone with 0 programming knowledge/experience.

2. If I wanted to do the method above, how many proxies would I need to get if I wanted to scrape say 500 websites per day? Also I don't really know how much proxies cost, so could you give me an idea of how much I'd need to spend on the proxies and are they a 1 time payment or monthly recurring?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have a short question.

Could I use a VPN instead of a proxy? and what're the benefits of using proxies vs a VPN?

If you use proxies in ScrapeBox then ScrapeBox is able to switch proxies on each connection, use multiple different proxies when using multiple simultaneous connections, retry failed connections X times with a different proxy etc.

If you route the connection through a VPN, then you are effectively handing control over to the VPN for connection management instead of ScrapeBox and the VPN will need to switch IP's etc (if it can).

When scraping emails you would only really need proxies if you were scraping many pages from the one website, this is because you may trigger a sites firewall if you are hitting them with lots of unnatural connections to hundreds or thousands of pages on that site.

If you are just scraping a single page from 500 different websites, then proxies are not really essential because to the site it will simply look like you viewed a single page. Then have no knowledge you actually saved an email from the page.

Scraping emails is one of the easier features and can be done just with a few clicks.

We dont have a trial available sorry, but ScrapeBox has been around for a long time before GScraper, and a long time after as well so there's tons of information about it's features. This thread is 11 years old, and i believe the largest thread on BHW so there's lots of info here.

Please check out some of the features on the ScrapeBox site and video's at https://www.youtube.com/user/looplinescrapebox/videos

If there's anything specific you need to know about with the features etc we are happy to help.

Hello

Is email scraper included with the base software? Thanks

Hello

ScrapeBox does come with an included email scraper, you can view details of this here: http://www.scrapebox.com/email-scraper

It's available on the main GUI of ScrapeBox under the "Grab/Check" button.

There also is a Premium Plugin with additional features as can be seen here which is $47 for this plugin on top of the cost of ScrapeBox: http://www.scrapebox.com/email-scraper-plugin

The basic email scraper only collects emails, with the option of saving the URL it was scraped from along with the email. The premium plugin comes with many more features, and also has the ability to train it to scrape other data along with the email address.

if there is a bad proxy in the proxy list then the software will stop and will not continue to search for a live proxy to execute a request through it.
No settings helped me get rid of this.

Ordered a premium addon - does it take time to be activated rather than being instant?

Activated later on. I'm trying to scrape now, but I've noticed a few times that when I send in a large request and try to stop it, I get a soft freeze - I can't close any windwos, but the duration timer keeps going on. Do I just wait in this scenario...?

You never have to worry about the quality of this Scrape Tool. This is my first online purchase and have bank over 10 times than price of Scrapebox. Go for it.

It depends what feature, most have 3 proxies retries built in and some features you can set the amount of retries. For example the search engine harvester you can adjust the amount of proxy retries up to 10, you can adjust the page error retries to 10 as well as set how many times in a row each proxy should be used. You can also auto remove dead proxies.

Which feature is this and how much data have you loaded? If the timer is still running, it would be best to just try waiting.

That's fantastic, we love hearing about people making money with ScrapeBox. Here's hoping you keep making a whole lot more!

Harvester

Something's gone wrong, it shouldn't take anywhere near that long so you will have to kill it in task manager unfortunately. But all the data is saved to the folder \ScrapeBox\Harvester_Sessions\ in real time and the file names are all time/date stamped for example urls_07-07-2020_22-31-29.txt so nothing is lost.

Also please ensure you are updated to v2.1.0.8

Ah okay, thanks. The software is fully updated, so not sure what I can do to avoid this happening again

Is the Comment Scraper no longer a feature? I don't see it in the Addons list

 

[Highschooled]

Is the Comment Scraper no longer a feature? I don't see it in the Addons list

Also, is there a way for me to format Enter/paragraph spacing into the commenter without Scrapebox thinking its an entirely new comment? For example

Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Paragraph 3

is read as if each one is a separate comment, when i want them all to be apart of one comment. What can i do?

You can send contact form messages or blog comments with linebreaks and paragraphs. You can use the token %NEWLINE% so having:

Hello %NEWLINE% %NEWLINE% How are you

Will be posted as:

Hello

How are you

Hey guys, just another regular reminder. Please be sure to

1) Download the latest version from the download page, if you are not running v2.1.0.0 or later many features wont work including license activation's.

2) Backup your ScrapeBox purchase details, you need to enter your original Purchase Email and Transaction ID to reset your license after reinstalling Windows, or to move the license to another machine. This is saved in PayPal for a few years, and in your receipt email unless you delete it.

We are spending a significant amount of time every day on support emails that are simply due to people not downloading the latest version and not saving their license details. This will make it not only quicker and easier for you, but also hopefully free up our time to put towards improvements that help the whole user-base.

Thanks everyone for your help.

This looks cool. I have a question. I need to find ALL sites with one footprint inurl:/xxxx./xx. It is possible to scrape all url's that contain this in their url with this sw?
Because - I can type inurl: only in google, not in other search engines.
- google shows only for example first 300 results. (even if there are 5k results found) and i need the rest 4700.
- there is captcha.
thanks!
