Every provider names the same technology differently. Without a shared vocabulary, comparing catalogues is comparing two lists of words.

ScrapeIt runs the collector as a managed service. You name the technologies, roles and the providers you want compared; we build the pipeline, normalise everything onto one vocabulary, and hand back CSV, JSON, Excel or a push into your warehouse with paths as parents and access tiers dated.
Because catalogues change slowly, we run this monthly or quarterly with change records, which keeps both the request volume and the cost proportionate.
We collect what the public catalog renders. There is no learner content in the output: no exercises, no solutions, no lesson material, all of which sit behind the product. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on Codecademy - and we collect it legally.
The catalog record covers item identifier, title, item type distinguishing career path, skill path and course, canonical URL, subject, programming language or technology, level, stated duration and description.
Path structure is preserved as a parent with ordered components, because the route is the unit buyers compare. Components are frequently shared between paths, which is invisible in a flat export and material when totalling hours or assessing overlap.
Access tier is recorded per item: free, subscription or trial, with the date observed. Which content sits behind the subscription moves, and tracking that over time shows how a provider is repositioning without announcing it.
Technology and version tagging is collected carefully because it is where staleness hides. A course teaching a framework two major versions behind exists in the catalog and is a coverage gap in practice, and only the tag plus the update date reveals it.
Then the context fields: prerequisites where stated, certificate offering, ratings and enrolment signals where published, and the collection timestamp on every row.
Free tier movement is one of the more interesting signals available here. Providers shift content between free and paid to compete for beginners, and tracking which items cross that line, and when, shows strategy that nobody publishes.
Path overlap analysis falls out of preserved structure. Components shared between paths mean the catalogue is smaller than its item count suggests, and totalling hours across paths without accounting for overlap overstates the offering - including your own, which is worth knowing before a competitor points it out.
Labour market joins are the standard extension: catalogue coverage on one side, technologies named in job postings on the other, joined on the same normalised vocabulary, answering where training supply lags hiring demand. That is the same pipeline as our job data work and the two are frequently bought together.
Refresh is slow. Catalogues move on release cycles rather than daily, so monthly or quarterly collection with change records is the sensible arrangement: new items, retired items, tier changes and path restructures delivered as differences.
Codecademy teaches programming through interactive exercises rather than video, and its catalog is organised around routes: career paths that run from beginner to job ready, skill paths that cover one competency, and individual courses that sit inside them.
The path is the unit that matters commercially. Corporate buyers and career switchers do not buy a course, they buy a route to competence, and whether a provider offers a complete route in a technology is the procurement question. A flat course list cannot answer it.
The catalog surface responds directly, and content is tagged by language, subject and level. Access is split between free and subscription, and which parts sit on which side moves over time - itself a signal about how a provider is positioning against competitors.
Because teaching is interactive rather than video, duration is expressed differently from platforms built on lectures. Comparing hours across providers without accounting for that produces a number that flatters whichever one measures most generously.

Full plan detailsThe brief is almost always comparative: how does our catalogue compare with theirs, where are the gaps, who moved first on a new technology. And it fails almost always for the same reason, which is that every provider names things differently.
One calls it JavaScript, another calls it Front End Development, a third calls it Web Foundations. One lists a cloud service under its current name, another under the name it had three years ago. Comparing those lists without mapping them first is comparing vocabularies rather than coverage, and the answer comes out wrong in whichever direction the naming happens to favour.
So the mapping is the work. We normalise technologies, roles and levels onto one vocabulary across every provider in the comparison, aligned where a client wants to their internal competency framework. That is built during collection, because reconciling three vendor exports afterwards is the failure mode we see most.
The second issue is duration incomparability. Interactive platforms and video platforms measure hours differently, and a straight comparison flatters whichever measures loosest. We record the stated figure and the measurement basis rather than silently treating them as equivalent.
The third is staleness, which matters more in technology training than anywhere: a course two major versions behind is worse than absent, because a learner follows it and produces code that does not work.
Learn how to use web scraping to solve data problems for your organization
Leveraging advances in technology, the AI-powered web scraper has skyrocketed in demand and is helping to expand capabilities by automating tedious daily tasks and speeding up data collection from thousands of websites several times over.
Web scraping is a method of obtaining web data by extracting it from pages of web resources with the help of a program, that is, in automatic mode. It is used to syntactically convert web pages into more usable forms.
If you specialize in machine learning, you need to feed large amounts of data to the algorithms. Web scraping is the easiest and the most efficient method of collecting the data from all over the Internet.
ScrapeIt is a managed extraction company, not a tool you have to learn. Our team builds the pipeline, maintains the vocabulary mapping as technologies and naming change, and repairs the collector before your comparison goes stale.
You see a sample first, in your format, across the technologies you actually care about, with the mapping applied so you can check it against your own competency framework on real rows.

Because every provider names things differently: one says JavaScript, another Front End Development, a third Web Foundations, and cloud services appear under names that changed years ago. Comparing those lists without mapping them is comparing vocabularies rather than coverage, and the answer comes out wrong in whichever direction the naming happens to favour.
Only with the measurement basis recorded alongside. Interactive platforms and video platforms count hours differently, so a straight comparison flatters whichever measures loosest. We record the stated figure and how it was measured rather than silently treating them as equivalent.
Yes, with the date observed, and it is one of the more interesting signals here. Providers shift content across that line to compete for beginners, and tracking which items cross and when shows positioning strategy that nobody announces.
Because buyers compare routes to competence, not individual courses, and because components are frequently shared between paths. A flat export hides that overlap, so totalling hours across paths overstates the offering - including your own, which is worth knowing before a competitor points it out.
No. Exercises, solutions and lesson material sit behind the product. We collect catalogue metadata from the public surfaces: titles, technologies, levels, paths, tiers and dates.
You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We'll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.
Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.
Once you approve the sample, we launch the project and start full data collection. We gather, filter, and structure the data for easy use, delivering it on time in your preferred format.
Our team manages ongoing processes, monitors website changes, and supports all data extraction cycles. We can also help integrate data into your systems or create dashboards to simplify analysis.
Tell us which sites, which fields and how often. A couple of lines is enough to start.
