Web sites often contain similar information that they present in different formats. Because of the different presentation formats it makes it difficult to easily compare and analyze their data. screen-scraper is a web site data extraction tool that can crawl sites for common information, even if the sites use different presentation formats.

screen-scraper can capture web pages, then pin-point specific pieces of information you'd like to extract. The time required to do web site data extraction goes down considerably in comparison to manually copying and pasting or writing special scripts.

Examples of using screen-scraper for web site data extraction include:

Log in to a web site containing information on products you sell through your web site, extract the data, then upload that content to your web site
Extract data from a web site containing store locations, then download that data to a spreadsheet
Mine content related to various insurance rates so that they can be compared and analyzed
