AI tools to build web scraper?

[ftime007]

I’m an SMS affiliate marketer, so fresh leads are a must for me. Can any of you suggest some AI tools to build a web scraper to get names and (mobile) phone numbers? Thanks for stopping by in advance my people.

Better just use zenoposter, even light version is sufficient for most tasks. I am able to build a custom scraper with it with just 10-20 mins instead of few hours in Python/Selenium.

Noted, thank you much! I haven’t checked it out yet, but would the scraper be sturdy enough for any of the main social media sites? I’ll go check it out now and get back to you on it (if you don’t mind). Thanks again Moon!

Zennoposter can handle anything, the most robust tool out there. It has variables, lists, tables, but you dont even need to know about that for simple use. Also advanced users can use #c, javascript.

They do update software often with new browsers, chrome and firefox, so it is almost never detected as a bot.

Sure

Octoparse is pretty good. Not AI per se, but they do have some auto detection that makes scraping much easier than any other scraper I've used. Sometimes I can just load up a site, and all the information I need is detected and ready to be scraped, so I just let it run from there. You also get to export 10,000 rows of data free per day, so that's a plus.

For IG, web scraping isn't the best option. You'd want to emulate a mobile device. Pretty complicated to do on your own, so it's best to use a bot like SuSocial.

That's some solid stuff, thanks for this. I've just seen Octoparse, but I've never heard of SuSocial. Have you any experience with Zennoposter too?

I want to find just one (2 max) solid ways to consistently scrape phone leads for my chosen verticals so I can work smoothly. I truly appreciate you guys' help and insight. I'll look more into Octoparse and into SuSocial as well. Cheers!

Would you mind I PM you for some brief instructions on how to build on Zennoposter, and for some example sites it works best?

No, but I heard good things about it. I used to use Ubot, but always heard Zennoposter was better. I'm not sure which is best these days, or if there's a better alternative.

If you're comfortable with APIs, there are some you can use from marketplaces like RapidAPI. Might be more expensive to use, but for what you're doing, it'll probably handle multithreading better than browser based scrapers.

Would I need any proxies for any of these tools?

It works with all sites, you just download demo or trial, open projectmaker and then navigate to any site you want, click record and then it records everything you do.

I can send you my templates but they are useless for your case.

Write here what you want to scrape which site and fields and I will do quick template tomorrow.

Awesome, thanks a million man. I'll do that and get back to you tomorrow with results. Cheers!

In most cases yes. For any of the bigger social media platforms you'll need accounts and 4/5G proxies.

Thanks for all this insight man, really. I think I'm gonna start with smaller platforms than the bigger Social sites, just to get a feel.. I'll be back to fill you in as I move along. Much appreciation J!

Hey Moon, I had a crazy last few days offline, so I wasn't able to try my hand at Zennposter yet. I'm ready to get to work, but now I'm a little stuck on which sites I should use Zenn on..

My targeted niches are of the mental health, adult/dating, and sweepstakes/gambling verticals. What sort of sites would you (or any of you) recommend are suited to be scraped for those verticals?

FYI- I'm in NO WAY trying to get any of you to do my work for me. I just need hints at the type of sites that are scrape-worthy, so I can find those particular sites to scrape, if that makes sense..

Again, any insight is greatly appreciated fams. Thanks

ive got sms numbers, they come with cell number, email, address, vehicle information. In the Pheonix,Az area. If youre interested let me know. These are not tossed around circlejerk leads they are my personal leads from my previous company. So theyre tight and right, let me know.
