What Is Web Scraping?
The data displayed by most of the sites are viewed using web browsers. The web browser does not offer to save the data in a user-friendly format.
The data can be saved only as a web page, and most web pages only give one option to the user- to manually copy and paste the data.
Web Scraping is a smart technique that can extract vast amounts of information from the target websites. The extracted data can then be saved to a local file on your system or spreadsheet format.
Web scraping automates the processes of extracting data from the website using scripts.

Frequently Asked Questions
The data displayed by most of the sites are viewed using web browsers. The web browser does not offer to save the data in a user-friendly format. The data can be saved only as a web page, and most web pages only give one option to the user- to manually copy and paste the data. Web Scraping is a smart technique that can be utilized to extract vast amounts of information from the target websites. The extracted data then can be saved to a local file on your system or as a spreadsheet format. Web scraping automates the processes of extracting data from the website using scripts.
Technically web scraping is not an illegal process in itself. The legality of web scraping depends on various factors such as
How do you intend to use the extracted data?
Are any terms and conditions violated while extracting the data from the source?
Are you trying to extract private data? (data that is not available in public space)
You can easily scrape data behind the login page if you have an active account on the site. After the login, the web scraping process would be similar to a regular scraping.
Yes, we do. Our developers, too, are covered under NDAs and confidentiality clauses.
Yes, we can separate them.
Our data delivery time periods usually depend on the plans that you choose. It is usually weekly and monthly, but our custom plan has hourly, weekly, monthly and yearly data delivery options.
We have SLAs defined for projects. This includes performance parameters for individuals as well as key goals for the overall project. We keep revisiting this SLA at regular intervals to ensure that we are in line with the plan. Any deviation is immediately fixed.
We need details about your requirements like websites/URLs from which you want us to scrape data, what is the data type you want us to scrape, and in which format you require the scraped data.
One-time scrape will not need any pipeline development. In contrast, recurring scripts will need pipeline development.
The pipeline development contains configuration on run frequency, filters the data, uploads the data to storage like DB, and monitors the scraper logs.
The deliverables will be the output file & source code.
1) Share the website & the list of fields to be extracted.
2) Check the feasibility
3) Scope out the timelines.
4) After the agreement on scope, the development started.
5) Based on the deadline, the output & code will be shared.
Our developers use project management tools like JIRA, Trello, etc. If you want, we can use that to track the project. Or we can manage through an excel sheet as well.
Based on the scope of work, we divide them into tasks & every task has some deliverables that lead to milestones.
The fixed cost budget is calculated based on the scope of work. If the scope of work changes, the budget part also gets affected.
Once the deliverables are submitted, the customer team must verify them. To verify these things, we set some days. If you find anything wrong in the verification period, Mindbowser will be responsible for fixing the issue.
We provide you a technical project manager based out of the US or India to work directly alongside you. During the initial plan, our CTO, VP of Engineering, and CEO are involved too. Once the project journey is planned, the project manager is your main point of contact with a well-established escalation procedure.
The project manager keeps you updated as per plan on all the development information and acts as your primary quality analyst.
