Over a decade of refinements and innovations can be at your fingertips using our in-house IDE, screen-scraper. Using Java, JavaScript, or Python, you can write your own web scrapes on a platform that's been built from the ground-up with screen scraping and ease of use in mind. Screen-scraper is cross-platform and can be deployed anywhere and invoked by anything, easily integrating into your existing systems. Software licenses for Professional and Enterprise Edition are available for purchase, but only after you've taken it for a spin for 30 days at no cost to you.
Works great for simple projects, but not nearly as feature-rich as its two older brothers. Only allows three scraping sessions to be created, and lacks many higher-level features.
Doesn't contain all of the features of the Enterprise edition, but is designed to be enough for most scraping projects. Does not provide a web interface and can only run five scraping sessions concurrently.
The most feature-rich edition of screen-scraper. Contains a web interface, all API methods are available, and is capable of running as many concurrent scrapes as the underlying system will allow.
