Guides
Web pages into spreadsheets, step by step.
Each guide answers one job: the list you need, where it usually lives, and the few clicks that turn it into rows. Every one can be tried for free, most of them on the practice site first.
Business lists
Partners, leads and suppliers, from the directories that already list them.
A list of businesses in any area
Where local business lists live, and how to get one into Excel, free.
Spreadsheet how-tos
Copy a table from a website to Excel
Without everything landing in one column, including Wikipedia tables and Google Sheets.
When a scraper lets you down
The complaints people post most about scrapers, and what fixes each one.
Only scraping the first page
Next buttons, Load more and infinite scroll, and the five reasons a run stops at page 1.
"Doesn't support this site"
What to try when a scraper finds nothing, and the sites no honest tool should promise.
Missing rows, columns or phone numbers
Why a sheet comes back short, and why Excel drops leading zeros.
No subscription, no credits
What's free, what paying once means, and five questions to ask before paying for any scraper.
Is your scraper extension safe?
A ten-minute check for any extension: permissions, disclosures, network requests, owner.
For developers
Taking the rows further than a spreadsheet.
Webhook receivers in Node.js and PHP
About 40 lines each, no packages: what the webhook sends, the secret check, and handing rows to a shell script without running what a page wrote.
Comparisons
Honest ones, including when to keep the other tool.
The rules
Is it legal to scrape a business directory?
Site terms, GDPR, and the EU, UK and US rules on contacting businesses, in plain words.
