How often can web scraping data be updated?
Web scraping data can be updated hourly, daily, weekly, or in real-time depending on your needs and target website policies. Most businesses choose daily updates for price monitoring and weekly updates for comprehensive market analysis. Real-time scraping is available for critical applications.

What data formats do you deliver scraped data in?
Scraped data is delivered in CSV, JSON, XML, Excel, or directly to your database via API. We also provide custom integrations with your existing systems, cloud storage (AWS S3, Google Cloud), and BI platforms (Power BI, Tableau) [AWS].
How do you handle anti-scraping measures?
We handle anti-scraping measures using rotating proxies, user-agent rotation, CAPTCHA solving services, and intelligent request throttling.
