Lite Scraper: A Minimal Web Scraping Tool
Lite Scraper is a user-friendly web scraping tool designed for businesses and developers seeking to gather insights from various websites. This Chrome extension allows users to create multiple scraping tasks for different sites, utilizing CSS selectors to extract specific data elements from the DOM. Its minimalistic interface simplifies the process of setting up tasks, making it accessible for users with varying levels of technical expertise.
The tool stores tasks in the local storage of the Chrome extension while the scraped data is saved in an external database with an expiration policy. Users are subject to a 24-hour session limit and a cap of 100 scrapes per session. Once these limits are exceeded, the user will experience a timeout period of 24 hours before they can resume scraping activities.
