Webgegevens schrapen uitgelegd door Semalt

Webschrapen is het verzamelen van nuttige of relationele gegevens van gespecificeerde webpagina's en het converteren het in een opgegeven formaat. Geschaafde gegevens worden meestal geëxporteerd naar een database of spreadsheet. De voordelen en het belang van het proces kunnen niet genoeg benadrukt worden. Dit is waarom het een gangbare praktijk is geworden onder organisaties.

Het enige probleem met het proces is dat het niet handmatig kan worden gedaan. Voor elke organisatie om tastbaar voordeel uit het proces te halen, moeten gegevens van honderden webpagina's periodiek worden verwijderd. Dit is waar webschrapingtools binnenkomen. De tools worden gebruikt om gegevens van talloze pagina's met zoveel snelheid en nauwkeurigheid te schrapen.

Introductie van Data Toolbar, een tool voor het efficiënt schrapen van gegevens

Er zijn verschillende hulpprogramma's voor gegevensschrapen, maar Data Toolbar onderscheidt zich door efficiëntie en eenvoud. Veel mensen hebben behoefte aan gegevensschrapen, maar slechts heel weinig mensen hebben programmeervaardigheden. Dus, alle data-extractie-instrumenten die geen programmeerkennis vereisen, zijn meestal erg gewild. Gegevenswerkbalk vereist ook geen programmeervaardigheid, dus het is een goede keuze.

Deze tool is zeer intuïtief en spreekt voor zich. Het is ontworpen om het proces van webschrapen voor alle browsers te automatiseren. Het is zo eenvoudig dat u alleen naar de vereiste gegevensvelden hoeft te wijzen en de tool haalt ze binnen enkele minuten voor u uit. Het is in staat om duizenden gegevens van verschillende soorten websites binnen enkele minuten te extraheren. Zoals eerder vermeld, vereist dit geen technische vaardigheden.

Gebruik van de tool

U hoeft alleen op het dataveld te klikken en de afbeeldingen die achter elkaar moeten worden geschraapt. Om meerdere afbeeldingen en gegevensvelden te selecteren, gaat u naar de "details" pagina om velden achter elkaar toe te voegen. Daarna moet u ook de "NEXT" pagina-optie aanvinken. Dat is alles. De tool doorzoekt de hele webpagina na pagina om de vereiste inhoud te schrapen. Na de extractie slaat de tool de gegevens op in SQL-script, HTML-bestand of Excel-spreadsheet, afhankelijk van uw keuze.

Versies van de software

Er zijn twee versies van de tool: de gratis versie en de betaalde versie. Gelukkig heeft de gratis versie van de tool dezelfde functies als de premiumversie. Ze vervallen niet allemaal, ze hebben geen registratie nodig en ze staan geen advertenties toe.

U moet zich afvragen waarom mensen moeten betalen voor de premiumversie als er geen verschil is tussen beide versies. Er is een groot verschil. De uitvoer van de gratis versie is beperkt tot slechts 100 rijen terwijl die van de premium-versie geen limiet heeft.

U kunt dus de gratis versie gebruiken voor een proefperiode en als u tevreden bent met de tool, kunt u upgraden naar de premium-versie met slechts $ 24.

Browserversies

In termen van ondersteunde browser bestaat Data Toolbar in twee versies. Een versie ondersteunt zowel Edge als Internet Explorer (beide voor Windows) terwijl de andere versie voor zowel Firefox als Chrome is. Qua kwaliteit produceren beide versies dezelfde uitvoerkwaliteit.

Waarom probeert u niet de gratis versie van de tool voor het verwijderen van gegevens, omdat deze gratis is en u niets te verliezen heeft? Je kunt dan upgraden naar de premium-versie als je dat leuk vindt. En als u er niet tevreden mee bent, kunt u gewoon op zoek naar een ander hulpmiddel voor het extraheren van gegevens.
