How Instant Data Scraper Works

Automatic Data Detection:

When you open a webpage and run Instant Data Scraper, it scans the page’s HTML to find repeating data structures — like rows in a table, product listings, or search results.

It detects these patterns automatically without you needing to write any code or XPath.

Data Preview:

The extension displays a preview table showing what data it found (e.g., names, prices, URLs, descriptions).

Custom Selection (Optional):

If it doesn’t pick the correct data automatically, you can manually select the data blocks you want (by clicking “Try Another Table” or using the visual selector).

Pagination Support:

It can also follow “Next” or pagination buttons on multi-page results to scrape data across multiple pages.

Export:

Once you’re satisfied with the extracted data, you can export it directly as a CSV or Excel file for analysis or upload to another platform.

💡 Why We Need Instant Data Scraper

No Coding Required:

Traditional web scraping usually needs Python, BeautifulSoup, or APIs. Instant Data Scraper makes it simple for non-developers.

Fast Data Collection:

Instead of copying data manually from dozens of pages, you can extract hundreds or thousands of rows within minutes.

Research & Marketing:

Useful for gathering leads, product details, pricing comparisons, or market research data.

E-commerce & Dropshipping:

Sellers often use it to collect product data (titles, prices, images, etc.) from marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, or AliExpress.

Automation:

Reduces repetitive manual work — especially for data entry, competitor monitoring, or SEO keyword collection.

⚠️ Important Note

While Instant Data Scraper is powerful, you must respect website terms of service and privacy laws. Avoid scraping:

Personal or confidential data

Websites that forbid data extraction (check their robots.txt or terms)
