ScrapeIt Blog

Articles about getting usable data off the public web: which sites are worth monitoring, what breaks when you try to collect from them, and what the data is good for once you have it.

Most of it comes out of client work. When a project teaches us something about a platform - how Amazon structures product variations, why property portals differ so sharply from one country to the next, what happens to flight pricing once you apply filters - it tends to end up here rather than staying in a ticket.

The archive falls into three kinds of post. Platform round-ups: which e-commerce, real estate and travel sites are worth scraping and what each one actually exposes. Industry guides: how collected data gets used in retail pricing, property analytics, lead generation, finance and AI training. Method pieces: crawling versus scraping, where AI helps and where it does not, sentiment analysis, and simpler things such as pulling a WooCommerce catalogue into Google Sheets.

Nothing here is gated and none of it requires buying a tool. If you would rather not build any of it yourself, we run the scrapers as a managed service and setup takes one to ten days.
