WebScraper offers you the possibility to quickly extract content from an online source with minimal effort. You have full control over the data that will be exported to the CSV or JSON files.

Within the WebScraper main window you must specify the URL address of the webpage you want to scan, and the number of threads that are to be used to complete the procedure. You get to adjust the latter parameter with the help of a simple slider bar.

To avoid any unnecessary scanning, you can choose to crawl only a single page, and then start the process with a simple mouse click. In the Live View window, you get to see the status message returned by each link, which might prove useful when dealing with debugging tasks.

In the WebScraper Output panel, you get to choose the type of information you want the utility to extract from a web page: the URL, the title, the description, content associated with a different class or ID, the headings, the page content in various formats (plain text, HTML or Markdown) and the last modified date.

You also get to choose the output file format (CSV or JSON), decide to consolidate white spaces, and set an alert if the file exceeds a certain size. If you are opting for the CSV format, you get to pick when to use quotes around columns, what to adopt instead of quotes, or the line separator type.

Last but not least, WebScraper also allows you to change the user-agent, to set a limit for the number of links and the clicks from home, can ignore query strings, and may treat subdomains of root domain as internal pages.

WebScraper offers you the possibility to quickly scan websites and output their content, together with other additional medatada, to CSV of JSON files. The tool is great whenever you want to have offline access top the data without having to store the entire page.
