Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is web crawling?
Web crawling is an automated method of gathering content from publicly available websites, utilized by search engines like Google. It involves bots navigating sites, collecting text, images, and videos to create an index. This process mimics human browsing but is executed faster and on a larger scale. It’s an essential technology for companies, saving billions in lost productivity by automating data extraction. Web crawling enhances data accuracy and volume, benefiting businesses and research endeavors globally.
Can you crawl password-protected areas or behind login forms?
We only collect data from publicly available websites and do not crawl websites that require login credentials.
Is web crawling legal?
Please refer to this page for consolidated and updated information about legal topics.
What are your pricing plans, and how are they structured?
For pricing-related information, please refer to Pricing.
Can you schedule crawls and automate data collection?
If you need the data on a recurring basis, we create one or more schedules in our advanced fault-tolerant scheduler, that ensures the data is gathered reliably.

What is the difference between Web Crawling and Web Scraping?
Web scraping and web crawling are related concepts. Web scraping is the process of automatically requesting a web document or page and extracting data from it. On the other hand, web crawling is the process of locating information on the web, indexing all the words in a document, adding them to a database and then following all hyperlinks and indexes and then adding this information to a database.
What if the websites have anti-scraping measures in place?
Our global infrastructure makes large-scale data crawling easy and painless by handling complex JavaScript/AJAX sites, CAPTCHA, and IP blacklisting transparently. We have self-healing tech to tackle website changes and massive browser farms to handle complex websites.
Can you scrape personal or sensitive and confidential information?
No, we do NOT gather or store such data.
How do you ensure data quality?
We create tests for validating each record, perform spot checks on the dataset, and set up QA checks to monitor the scraper’s metadata such as the number of pages it crawls, response codes, etc. We invest heavily in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to improve problem detection and provide tremendous value for no additional cost.
What level of customer support do you provide?
We provide ongoing support, quality assurance, and maintenance as a part of our subscription plans. Websites change their structure periodically, and they also block automated access. As a result, maintenance is also an integral part of our subscription service. We have built-in health checks that alert us as a website’s structure changes so that we can make the changes and minimize the disruption to the data delivery. Also included are our automated and manual data quality checks.
