Octoparse for Professional Web Scraping

製品を使ってみた感想： We scrape product data from suppliers and import them to our ecommerce and sync their prices and stock availability, and we do so even though our suppliers that fall into the scraping category do not provide XML or API but do have worthy products!

良いポイント:

We use Octoparse to scrape product data from some of our suppliers that do not provide XML or API and import them to our ecommerce. We like the IP rotation feature because even the suppliers that provide XML or API block our requests, especially image links when we are trying to scrape them and download them, so IP rotation prevents us from this when we scrape data from users that do not provide XML/API.

改善してほしい点:

The free plan is limited to low number of crawlers and concurrent runs as well as 10.000 records per export. It does not affect the companies though because companies like ours use the Standard or Professional plan.

Octoparse Is The Best Scraping Tool

製品を使ってみた感想： Overall, Octoparse is user-friendly and powerful for web scraping, offering a simple interface and robust features. However, its performance can be inconsistent with complex tasks, and pricing may not suit everyone.

良いポイント:

Octoparse's best feature is its ease of use for web scraping, with a visual interface that makes complex data extraction straightforward even for non-coders.

改善してほしい点:

The biggest drawback of Octoparse is its occasional performance issues with large-scale scraping, which can lead to slower execution and data limits

Bad company!

製品を使ってみた感想： We tried octoparse in the free trial version but found out that their data-extraction is illegal in the EU. So we stopped. But we had to give creditcard info before we could start. They took the money but right away and refuse to refund.
So watch out with this company. It's scam and fraud and once you try to address any issue they don't react.
ONE OF THE WORST EVER !!!

良いポイント:

Hardly anything was good about the product and especially the company itself. It's seems like fraud!!!

改善してほしい点:

Hard to use and slow in execution and above all illegal in the EU !!!

Longterm Octoparse Customer - Fan for Life

製品を使ってみた感想： No complaints what so ever. I have had a subscription for 6 years. That says a lot.

良いポイント:

I appreciate how easy the application is to get basic scraping, but the standout is the support staff. They will help you or even just fix it themselves. I recently had a job need changes. I was out of the country and did not have a reliable internet connection. A quick email to support and less than a day later, I was back getting data.

改善してほしい点:

Octoparse includes many default templates, but they are "black boxes". I would really like to be able to open them and see how they are working. It would to better understand how to make my own scripts work better.

Octoparse is the best scraping tool!

製品を使ってみた感想： Excellent experience using the tool and quick customer service too. We could not run our business without Octoparse.

良いポイント:

- Easy to navigate user interface - Lot's of help and articles on hand - Web scraping in less than 5 mins - Lot's of great features to automate jobs - Price was reasonable

改善してほしい点:

- Maybe the time it takes to tweak your scraping jobs, however this is the case for any software tool.

Great tool, easy to learn and use

製品を使ってみた感想： Overall I’m verry happy with the tool, it saves me and my team a lot of time.

良いポイント:

The easy way of setting up things and run the task, if done in a correct way you can save a lot of time.

改善してほしい点:

Sometimes when there is a new update a review of created jobs is required to ensure a smooth run.

Very efficient and reliable tool, that is very approachable.

製品を使ってみた感想： Overall great, sometimes there are some limitations to the whole parsing thing, but they are always trying to add ways to make it easier.

良いポイント:

I like how responsive and intuitive (to me at least) the tool is overall. Can't do much about the websites themselves but the tool itself when everything is aligned is excellent and does the job consistently and accurately. All this without needing much more than installing one app and not having to do many things and libraries and code. The support is always available and helpful too, which is a major plus.

改善してほしい点:

There are some features that are still missing, like maybe a "production-chain" type where a task finishing triggers another task using that data, but I guess they are planning on adding many more features in the future.

Excellent, powerful tool with industry leading support

製品を使ってみた感想： Overall Octoparse continues to be an important tool for our business. We value their excellent customer support and look forward to using the tool for many years.

良いポイント:

Once your project is properly setup, it is simple to run when needed. The Octoparse team is great at helping you set things up properly and they will answer any questions needed.

改善してほしい点:

There are really not many cons associated with Octoparse. Usually if there is any issue, it is centered around the data source and not the Octoparse system.

Octoparse is a reliable tool for scrape websites easier.

製品を使ってみた感想： Octoparse is a reliable and easy scraping tool which has very strong supporting team behind.

良いポイント:

Continues service with least interruption rate and quick responses from the support team.

改善してほしい点:

Some tasks are not possible to modify. Also, Cloudflare bypass was limited to popular websites. Other websites might need extra credits to bypass.

I use octoparse. I'm young!

製品を使ってみた感想： The overall experience was good，Crawler development for html pages is very fast，It saves a lot of time and is easy to maintain，The customer service is also very good, and problems are solved one by one.

良いポイント:

No code, fast development.super convenient.

改善してほしい点:

Unfortunately, it would be nice if we could embed our own scripts and we could develop our own templates.

After about a year usage

製品を使ってみた感想： I'm very satisfied with it, it took some time for me to get it going, but I'm getting better and better using it.

良いポイント:

The Support team is very kind and professional, no question 5-stars. I like the automations and also the cloud run feature, so I my laptop doesn't need to run 24/7.

改善してほしい点:

I don't think it's very easy to understand, how scrapers work, unless you have some sense for it, not just Octoparse, but in general.

Powerful and easy

製品を使ってみた感想： Great tool with ease of use and helpful support!

良いポイント:

Easy to use, powerful, great customer support!

改善してほしい点:

Sometimes there are REST API connection issues.

Great for non-technical teams, amazing customer service

製品を使ってみた感想： Amazing. Definitely recommend especially if you're looking for an effective way to extract data and you don't want to spend the time writing code to do it.

良いポイント:

The customer service team is incredible. Super attentive and very helpful.

改善してほしい点:

It does require a little bit of a learning curve, but that's because the tech is quite sophisticated. And the customer service team was always so responsive that it made up for the time spent trying to figure out the software.

Octoparse Review

製品を使ってみた感想： The software is much easier to use, visually appealing, and on going customer support as well as tutorials have been created with the user in mind. Octoparse Web Scraper
Experience: I have been looking professional web scraper for about two months now. I did try so many software's. Some was hidden mist! Most did not work at all. Then I did end up to get Octoparse web scraper! Wau! That cloud base software was exactly what I was looking for! This software really works. Software works even with some of the complex website. I definitely recommend! I use Octoparse on a daily basis and at my organization. there is no smoother way of web scraping! The software has never given me any issues. I think nobody can find better software to scrape data from web. Software It works exactly as expected. Octoparse is easy to use interface no experience scrapping websites is needed - but can do a lot. Octoparse software It has enabled me to ingest a large number of data point and focus my time on statistical analysis vs. data collection. It has safe me some much time! Same jobs would take me hours before and now data is collected in few minutes! When I need a quick way to grab structured web data, Octoparse software will be my first choice.
It took time to learn the tool, but when you master it - there are lot's of powerful features. In just few days I managed to extract product information from thousands of products with very little effort! Using Octoparse to scrape a lot of data we needed was MUCH faster than custom building any solution. The user interface is intuitive, pricing very reasonable, and support was outstanding! To put it simply, if you've ever found a website where you wished that you could copy/paste hundreds of records from. Then Octoparse is your solution. It can automatically collect complete content structures such as product catalogs or search results. It's very user-friendly, yet sophisticated enough to extract data from highly dynamic websites. Octoparse software is data extraction tool that anyone can use to get data from the web. You'll never have to write a web scraper again and can easily create APIs from websites that don't have them. Octoparse software can handle interactive maps, calendars, search, forums, nested comments, infinite scrolling, authentication, dropdowns, forms, Javascript, Ajax and much more. Octoparse software is really the tool for your company!

良いポイント:

easy to use.

改善してほしい点:

Cost

Best scraper.

製品を使ってみた感想： When we were looking for an appropriate scraping software we tried every scraping program available on the market. After some days of testing it turned out that Octoparse is exactly that what we were looking for. This great and powerful tool completely outclasses competition in most of hard tasks: -it can load and pass through very complex and big websites
-you can set more complex logic which is very useful even if rarely used
-there are practically no websites that Octoparse can't load, doesn't matter on what base and system they were built
-friendly environment, with easy to use GUI
-great support with honest, and kind people.
-and everything without a single line of script which is great! There are, of course, some cons too, because nothing is perfect and that's a normal thing.
Sometimes program hangs on some sites. After some observations, it came out that it is not a website problem. It happens on sites that are built similar to for example Wikipedia, which construction is practically the same under every link. Probably it is not the API in workflow for designer too, because it is about simple: loop by list of URL -> extract data. Especially when there are more links. Sometimes it shows that site is still loading, sometimes just hangs on one opened page for hours to then just move on. I note that I used all program options, including advanced options too including timeout limit, reload web page and every other option. Nothing has helped. Finally, functionalities and enhancements that can be added in the future to Octoparse, to further improve it: Example situation: We add a 100 links to the program and 17 of them failed to execute. We found out that reload website option is unclear. If we e.g. use proxy and the connection will fail with it, we can now use other proxy or few proxies depending on settings. It will be great if i.e. one proxy will fail at connection in specified number of attempts (let's say 5-15 attempts) then Octoparse will delete this proxy or mark it as malfunctioning and avoid it in the future, still returning these 17 bad link in scores. And it will be even better if score list after export will have links that failed to execute, just mark them in a separate column, or add website status error code or something. This can help in retry to get data from the websites that failed to load.

Octoparse as the most friendly and intuitive web data extraction tool

製品を使ってみた感想： I have tried about 20 web data extraction software incl. online ones and desktop apps. I have stopped at Octoparse as for me it appeared to be the best option because: 1. it offers a "linear" (in the good sense) and convergent workflow for a job versus the rather messy and distractingly branching/forking semantics of the process of other software where after a certain point you lose the touch/control because of steeply growing complexity along the steps of the workflow (this problem with other software is even more severe when the workflow steps are named in quite an arbitrary manner by the vendor leaving you without any clues as to what the given step is about or how you are supposed to carry it out, etc.);
2. its workflow is simple/straightforward, friendly and intuitive - with Octoparse you do not need hours or days of training/reading of instructions, tutorials, etc. as is the case with the other software I have tried/tried to go through; the process is highly structured and coherent in Octoparse;
3. it does not require any specialized/professional skills of any kind of coding. As a possible drawback I would point to the relatively weak consistency among the offerred 4 modes of extraction. I have noticed that there are a few inconsistencies in step logic mapping/matching across some of them, but I have not explored all of them to be honest, so this problem may in fact be less significant. Thank you.

良いポイント:

- it is simple, friendly, intuitive and features a linear/convergent (in the good sense) process of interaction - it does not take even hours of training/reading the instructions, tutorials - you start using it straight away - it does not require any coding skills

改善してほしい点:

- relatively weak consistency in the logics of workflow steps across/among the four modes of extraction

Octoparse is the best free solution for web scraping

製品を使ってみた感想： Octoparse offers a free scraping GUI for everyone without coding experience. The free local extraction feature is enough for almost any business starter or data collector. I mean its great you can handle all types of pagination from infinite scroll or ajax called also including the normal button pagination. Its a nightmare to develop something like this from scratch using php. I mean Octoparse are like the middle man from the web and the perfect excel sheet with all data collected inside it formatted into columns and perfect rows just need to be adjusted into charts. Although the gui is a bit complicated for someone new to the software , the tutorials are very easy to track and the moving pictures for every step are awesome. After investing some time developing the local extraction mechanism ,you can export the project to the cloud extraction as it will be much easier to use also because that is the logical step for the next move if you want to scrap large scales of data or you dont have to worry about schedule , it is in the cloud and running smoothly. The API integration also make it easier to use the data. Exporting the data via API is one of the solutions , you also can export them in various file formats including csv. You can build mobile app directly on the API and with some patience you can get more reliable data at your hand any time. I am as a wordpress developer use the api to integrate in the wordpress itself including other plugins like the woocommerce for eCommerce platform. Giant price comparison companies use the sam emethod to scarp data and publish them to their web , we can do the same with much less work using Octoparse ! Why to re-invent the wheel ?! time is money !

良いポイント:

Complete framework to scarp

改善してほしい点:

GUI is a bit complicated

Octoparse is really a good data extraction tool. It helps me a lot for my academic research.

良いポイント:

I like Octoparse Cloud Service most. I need to update the data every day and the cloud service enables me to schedule the crawlers run daily on Octoparse cloud servers automatically without having to keep my computer on. This really save me a lot of time and help me get a lot of original data online for my academic research. Besides, I do appreciate they offer great discounts for us students. It is really helpful to me.

改善してほしい点:

Sometimes the support replied a little late. It would be better if they could reply a little earlier.

A great free web scraper to extract data online within seconds

良いポイント:

I use Octoparse to extract the comments on Twitter for my academic research. It did really help as you just need to make a simple crawler to extract the data online automatically. Though at first I didn't have any idea on how to make a crawler, I finally made it with the help of the detailed tutorials and support team. The free version is quite powerful since it could scrape almost every website. But I need the CLOUD SERVICE to schedule the tasks to run every day to get the updated data. That's why I choose the premium plan. With the great discounts offered specially for academic research, it's not a problem to afford that for us students.

改善してほしい点:

It couldn't solve the Captcha problem on cloud service and I had to do that in local machine if I want to extract such kind of websites.

reduce repetitive work

製品を使ってみた感想： good value

良いポイント:

I was manually going through the linkedin sales navigator to check on changes to a saved search I had done. After setting up Octoparse, it grabs all the changes to my saved search and saves them into a google sheet that eliminates a lot of clicks to get to the same information. I also saved a lot of time.

改善してほしい点:

It's a point-and-click software, which takes a while. It was worth it after automating my previously manual process.

Helpful Extraction Tool!

良いポイント:

Point-and-Click interface. this feature makes me feel arranged while I'm using Octoparse, it's clear to see which step I am in, and what step should I do next.

改善してほしい点:

Customer Support. the customer supports dont reply instantly, sometimes it takes hours to reply my e-mails.

Easy to use

製品を使ってみた感想： I love it. It does exactly what I want it to do no matter he simple or intricate it is.

良いポイント:

I love how there is a workflow diagram so I can review what I am asking the software to do. It allows me to truly customize the information I want to scrape.

改善してほしい点:

The free edition only allows for 10 scrape formulas

Octoparse is a helpful web scraping tool!

良いポイント:

Never knew data extraction could be such an easy thing before I discovered Octoparse. It fulfills the functions I expected, I can easily obtain data I wish now.

改善してほしい点:

I have not do any comparison with other brands, Octoparse was the first web scraping tool I ever used. If there were any con I would say it's that the websites claim users do not need to code, but users still need to learn a bunch of tutorials before use.

I am uk startup. Wish to know octoparse 2 year agos. Would be great if offer discounts for startups

良いポイント:

Easy to use unlimited page scraped per run

改善してほしい点:

Sometime stop working if internet not work. Paid package may sort it out

This is a very powerful and useful product for my research!

良いポイント:

I like how it works and its ease of usage...you don't need to be a developer for using it and it takes just few time for understanding it.

改善してほしい点:

You just need to spend few time at the beginning for setting it and make it working properly on your machine.
