The basics
What is Web Scraping?
Web scraping is the automated extraction of data from websites. Instead of manually copying information, our systems programmatically collect, parse, and structure data from web pages at scale.
Whether you need competitor pricing, market research data, lead generation information, or business intelligence, web scraping transforms publicly available web content into clean, analysis-ready datasets.

Step by step
How a project runs
What happens between the first call and the data landing in your systems.
1. Scope the question and the sources
You tell us the decision the data feeds. We list the sites (e-commerce catalogues, business directories, regulator and public-sector portals, listing sites), agree the fields per record, and check each site's terms and robots rules before any code is written.
2. Free sample extract
We pull a few hundred rows from the agreed sources and send them as CSV with the field dictionary. You check the fields, units and coverage against what you expected before committing to the full build.
3. Build
Each source gets its own extractor: HTML parsing where pages are static, a headless browser where content is rendered by JavaScript, pagination and search filters handled explicitly. Output is normalised into one schema across all sources.
4. QA against figures you trust
We reconcile the extract against a reference you already hold (a supplier price list, a count on the site's own category page, last month's spreadsheet) and report the differences. Rows that fail a check are flagged, never silently dropped.
5. Delivery
The full run arrives in the agreed format, with the QA report and a note of anything that could not be collected and why. You sign off before any recurring schedule starts.
6. Ongoing operation
Recurring jobs run on schedule with monitoring on row counts, empty fields and response codes. What usually breaks is a layout change, a new bot challenge, a change to pagination, or a tightened rate limit. Every fix goes in a change log you can read, with the date and what changed.
Deliverables
What you receive
Data in the format your systems already read: CSV, JSON or Excel for a one-off, or written straight into your database, an S3 bucket or an SFTP drop for recurring jobs. Schedules run one-off, daily or hourly, and the same files land in the same place every time.
Every delivery comes with the paperwork that lets you trust it and repeat it without us:
- A field dictionary: each column, its type, its source on the page, and how blanks are represented
- A QA report listing the checks run, the reference figures used and any rows that failed
- A documented method covering the sources, the request pattern and the parsing rules, so you can audit or rerun it
- For recurring jobs, the change log of every source change and the fix applied
Questions, answered
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do web scraping services cost in the UK?
Web scraping costs vary based on project complexity. One-time extractions typically start from £500. Recurring automated extraction projects range from £750-£2,500+/month depending on volume, frequency, and source complexity. We provide fixed-price quotes within 24 hours after understanding your requirements — no surprises or hidden fees.
Is web scraping legal in the UK?
Web scraping is generally legal in the UK when extracting publicly available data for legitimate business purposes. We ensure compliance with GDPR, the Computer Misuse Act, copyright law, and website terms of service. We only collect publicly visible information and never circumvent security measures or access private data without permission.
What websites can you scrape?
We can extract data from virtually any website including e-commerce platforms (Amazon, eBay), job boards (Indeed, Reed, LinkedIn), property portals (Rightmove, Zoopla), business directories, social media (public profiles), government databases, news sites, and industry-specific platforms. Our technology handles JavaScript-rendered pages, login-required content (with your credentials), and complex multi-page navigation.
How do you deliver the extracted data?
We deliver data in your preferred format: Excel (XLSX), CSV, JSON, XML, or direct database integration. For recurring projects, options include scheduled email delivery, cloud storage (AWS S3, Google Drive, Dropbox), FTP upload, API endpoints, or direct integration with your systems. We adapt to your existing data workflows.
How long does a web scraping project take?
Turnaround depends on project scope. Simple one-time extractions can be delivered within 2-5 business days. More complex projects with multiple sources or extensive data cleaning may take 1-2 weeks for initial delivery. For recurring projects, once set up, data is delivered according to your schedule — daily, weekly, or even hourly for time-sensitive applications.
What if the website changes and breaks the scraper?
Website changes are inevitable. For one-time projects, we deliver working data at project completion. For recurring subscriptions, our monitoring systems detect changes automatically and we update scrapers promptly — typically within 24-48 hours. Maintenance is included in all recurring plans at no additional cost.
