Web Scraping Services in Edinburgh
Edinburgh manages more assets under management per capita than any UK city outside London. Standard Life Aberdeen, Baillie Gifford, and the remnants of RBS/NatWest's Scotland operations sit alongside the Scottish Government, a substantial legal sector, and one of Europe's largest annual festivals. Each creates distinct, high-value data requirements — and we understand all of them.
Data Services for Edinburgh Businesses
Sector-specific data extraction built around Scotland's financial capital
Scottish Financial Services Data
Edinburgh is Scotland's financial capital, home to Standard Life Aberdeen (now abrdn), Baillie Gifford, Aegon UK, and Tesco Bank. We extract publicly available fund performance data, investment product comparisons, regulatory announcements, and competitive positioning information for Scotland's asset management and insurance sector.
Scottish Government & Public Procurement
The Scottish Government, Holyrood parliament, and a network of Scottish public bodies publish procurement opportunities, consultation documents, and statistical releases separately from Westminster. We monitor Public Contracts Scotland, Scottish Government publications, and public body websites for organisations supplying Scotland's public sector.
Legal Services Research
Scots law operates as a distinct legal system. Edinburgh's Court of Session and Sheriff Court generate public judgments and listings separate from England and Wales. We extract Scottish legal publications, court decisions, Law Society of Scotland updates, and legal market data for Edinburgh's law firms and legal technology businesses.
Tourism & Hospitality Analytics
Edinburgh's Festival season, Hogmanay, and year-round tourism make it one of the UK's most data-intensive hospitality markets. We monitor hotel and accommodation pricing across booking platforms, event ticket availability, visitor attraction capacity data, and review sentiment across TripAdvisor, Google, and specialist travel sites.
Technology & Digital Sector Intelligence
Edinburgh's tech sector, concentrated around Codebase and the Old Town tech cluster, is growing faster than most UK regional cities. We support tech companies with competitive product monitoring, talent market data from job boards, funding announcement tracking, and sector benchmark extraction.
Property & Commercial Real Estate Data
Edinburgh's residential market is one of Scotland's most active, and its commercial property sector serves a diverse city economy. We extract property listing data, commercial transaction records, planning application data, and short-term rental market information for property professionals operating across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Edinburgh Industries We Serve
Data solutions built around the sectors that define Scotland's capital
Asset Management & Insurance
abrdn (formerly Standard Life Aberdeen), Baillie Gifford, and Edinburgh's broader investment management community represent one of Europe's largest concentrations of assets under management. We provide data monitoring across fund performance, regulatory filings, and competitor products.
Scottish Government & Public Sector
Scotland's devolved government creates a distinct public procurement landscape. We monitor Public Contracts Scotland, Scottish Government publications, HIE, Scottish Enterprise, and local authority tender portals for suppliers to the public sector.
Legal Services
Scots law is distinct from English law and Edinburgh is its home. WS Society members, advocates at Parliament House, and a strong commercial legal sector generate specialist data requirements. We support research, business development, and compliance data needs.
Tourism & Hospitality
13 million visitors per year, the world's largest arts festival, and Hogmanay make Edinburgh's hospitality market extraordinarily data-rich. We track pricing, availability, and sentiment across the full range of accommodation and experience platforms.
Technology & Digital
Edinburgh's tech cluster around Codebase has produced fintech, healthtech, and SaaS companies that now operate globally. We support product and growth teams with market data, competitive intelligence, and lead generation.
Higher Education & Research
The University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt, and Edinburgh Napier are significant research producers. We extract grant data, research output summaries, spinout registrations, and knowledge transfer listings for innovation-focused organisations.

Edinburgh in Practice: A Recent Project
An anonymised example of the work we do for Scottish clients
Edinburgh Investment Manager: Competitor Fund Monitoring
An Edinburgh-based investment management firm needed to monitor competitor fund performance, product launches, and pricing changes across the UK retail investment market. Their research team was spending two days per week manually checking fund factsheets, investment association data releases, and competitor websites. We built an automated extraction system covering 60+ asset managers and their public fund data, delivering a structured daily report with performance comparisons, new product launches, and fee changes. The research team redirected the time saved towards client-facing analysis, and the firm used the data to inform a pricing review that resulted in attracting 12% more assets under management in the following year.
