Data Extraction

Data extraction is the act or process of retrieving data out of unstructured data sources for further data processing or data storage (data migration).

Typical unstructured data sources include web pages, emails, documents, PDFs, scanned text, mainframe reports, spool files etc.

Process of data extraction from the web is referred to as Web scraping.

Our customized data extraction programs begin by identifying and specifying as input, a list of URLs that define the data that is to be harvested. The extraction application then downloads the list of URLs and the corresponding HTML text.

The extracted HTML is text is thereafter parsed by the developed application to identify and store the needed information in a data format of your choice. Embedded hyperlinks that are encountered can be either followed or ignored, depending on requirement.

We at Website-Scraping specialize in developing anonymous and non-intrusive web scraping tools that are able to scrape dynamically generated data from the private web as well as scripted content.
