Data scraping

Structured data from public web sources, collected on a schedule, cleaned and delivered where you need it. We work within the terms and the law of each source and will say no to jobs that do not.

Scraping is easy to start and hard to keep running. The first script takes an afternoon; the version that still works in six months, survives a layout change and tells you when it breaks is the actual product.

What we build

  • Collectors for listings, reviews, maps, prices and public records
  • Pipelines that deduplicate, normalise and enrich the results
  • Exports to CSV, JSON, PostgreSQL or an API your team calls
  • Monitoring that notices when a source changes shape

Where we draw the line

We check each source's terms, robots directives and the applicable law before we build, and we write that assessment down for you. We rate-limit, we identify ourselves where the source expects it, and we do not build around measures a site has put in place to stop automated access. If a job does not pass that check, we will tell you and suggest an alternative source.

// Worked example //

Before

Manual collection from Google Maps and Search, slow and error-prone

After

Hourly structured exports to CSV and JSON with no manual step

Source: Google Maps data extraction case study, carried forward from the previous site. Figures are being re-verified with the client.

// FAQ //

Questions about data scraping.

It depends on the source and what you do with the data. We check the terms, robots directives and applicable law for each source before we build, and we decline work that would break them.

We respect rate limits and access rules. We do not build around measures a site has put in place to stop automated access.

Discovery usually begins within one to two weeks of a first call. If something is urgent, say so and we will tell you honestly whether we can fit it.

Then we start with a short paid scoping sprint: we map the workflow, define the scope and backlog, and give you an estimate you can hold us to.

Yes. A retained squad gives you ongoing design, development and automation capacity billed monthly, with a fixed set of people who know your systems.

Every build includes three months of support after launch. After that, a retainer or ad-hoc work, your choice.
