Visual Web Ripper v2.10.3


Visual Web Ripper is a powerful visual tool used for automated web scraping, web harvesting and content extraction from the web.
Visual Web Ripper can automatically walk through whole web sites and collect complete content structures such as product catalogues or search results, and save the content in many different formats, including XML, spreadsheets and databases.

Follow these three easy steps to extract content from a website with Visual Web Ripper.
How to extract data from the Internet step 1
Design a project in the Visual Editor

  • Navigate to a web site and design a template for each different type of page you want to extract content from
  • A template defines how content should be extracted from a particular webpage and all other web pages with a similar content structure
  • You design a template by clicking on the page content you want to extract, and then you select the links and forms you want to activate to open new pages
  • Powerful tools are available to help you design the templates. You can repeat content selections through a whole list, follow all links in an area, or repeatedly submit a form for all possible input values.
How to scrap content from the Internet step 2
Run the project directly from the designer or setup a schedule to run the project.


How to harvest data from the Internet step 3
Data will be saved to your chosen data store (databases, spreadsheets, XML or CSV files).

Great post on web scrapers, with some well thought out points, For simple stuff i use python to get or simplify data, data extraction can be a time consuming process but for other projects that include files, the web, or documents i tried http://www.extractingdata.com/web%20scraper.htm which worked great, they build quick custom screen scrapers, web scrapers, and data parsing programs
