The Telegraph Scraper
Solutions

Managed Telegraph collection, run end to end by us

ScrapeIt runs the work as a managed service. We collect the sections, writers or subjects you name, record the source type on every row, and hand back CSV, JSON, Excel or a push into your warehouse.

Where the brief is about influence, citations from other outlets run in the same pipeline.

We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on The Telegraph - and we collect it legally.

What a Telegraph dataset can honestly carry

Article records carry the headline, standfirst, byline, section, publication timestamp and article identifier, as a visitor sees them without a subscription.

Citation records are built without the site: they record where other outlets cite, quote or follow up Telegraph reporting. They show which Telegraph stories drove wider coverage.

Every row carries the collection timestamp and its source type, so article records and citation observations are never mixed.

Citation analysis, section tracking and limits

Citation analysis, section tracking and limits

Citation and follow-up analysis is the strongest product here: which Telegraph stories were picked up, by whom and how quickly.

Section and byline tracking is ordinary structuring and delivery: which desks publish most, which writers cover which subjects, and how that shifts over time.

Limits: we never log in and do not attempt to get past the payment wall, so subscriber-only text is not part of the dataset.

A subscription paper and what its pages show

The Telegraph is a major British national newspaper, published online behind a subscription. It covers politics, business, sport and culture for a large UK readership.

Its section fronts and article pages show every visitor the headline, standfirst, byline, section and publication time, while the full text sits behind the subscription. That split sets the shape of every project here: the public layer is collected, the subscriber text is not.

The paper's reach shows up elsewhere too. Other outlets cite, quote and follow up Telegraph reporting, and that trail of citations is a dataset in its own right.

Why output and influence are two datasets

A Telegraph dataset answers two questions. The first is what the paper publishes: which sections, which writers, which subjects and at what pace, built from headlines, standfirsts, bylines and publication times.

The second is the paper's influence: how other outlets cite and follow its reporting. That is a useful dataset in its own right and needs nothing from telegraph.co.uk.

The two answer different briefs. Output tracking suits teams watching what the paper covers and who writes it; influence tracking suits communications teams measuring which Telegraph stories set the agenda elsewhere.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Used In Web Scraping

How Artificial Intelligence Is Used In Web Scraping

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.

What is Web Scraping and What is it Used For?

What is Web Scraping and What is it Used For?

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.

Web Scraping for Machine Learning

Web Scraping for Machine Learning

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.

Who builds and keeps your coverage feed

ScrapeIt is a managed extraction company, not a tool you have to learn. Our team builds the pipeline, keeps the source type attached to the data, and repairs collection when formats change.

You see a sample first, in your format, so you can judge the value before the project starts.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape The Telegraph?

Yes. Headlines, standfirsts, bylines, sections and publication times are shown to every visitor, and subscriber-only text stays out of the dataset. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on The Telegraph - and we collect it legally.

Do you offer a Telegraph API?

Yes. The ScrapeIt Telegraph API returns headline, standfirst, byline, section, publication timestamp and article identifier as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. The same data also comes as CSV or XLSX files or straight into your database.

What does citation analysis show?

Citation and follow-up analysis: which Telegraph stories other outlets picked up, when and how. It is built from other outlets and needs nothing from telegraph.co.uk.

Do you collect subscriber-only articles?

No. We never log in and never go behind the paywall. Article records carry what a visitor sees without a subscription: headline, standfirst, byline, section and publication time.

Why record the source type on every row?

Because article records and citation observations answer different questions. A source type on every row keeps them apart after delivery, when the data is reused by someone who never saw the brief.

How does it Work?

Step 1 - Make a Request

You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We’ll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.

Step 2 - Configuring Custom Web Crawlers

Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.

Step 3 - Collect and Deliver

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.

Step 4 - Maintain and Support

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.
