How to scrape ANY websites on your apple device
To scrape any websites, there is a more flexible solution-you can build a crawler from scratch with the “Advanced Mode” in Octoparse.
It is very easy to create a crawler to pull data off any website. There is zero learning curve even for a layman. Octoparse auto-detects all the data fields on the webpage, generates a crawler within minutes and extracts the data within seconds. Below is a screenshot of the data I got using the auto-detection feature:
(data extracted in excel)
Take Yelp as an example. Let’s say you are trying to scrape all the general information about Auto repair shops in Houston, TX. This is the website URL you’d like to extract: https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Auto+Repair&find_loc=Houston%2C+TX%2C+United+States&ns=1
Step 1: Input the target URL to start detecting the webpage
First, you need to install Octoparse on your Mac device. If you have experienced the Windows version before, you will notice the Mac version looks very similar.
Paste the URL above into Octoparse to let it auto-detect the page. As you scroll down the page inside the built-in browser, you will notice that the listing data, as well as the “Next page” button, are highlighted in red. This means that Octoparse is going to extract all the highlighted data on all pages.
Step 2: Save the detection settings to build a crawler
The second step is very simple. Click “save settings” and Octoparse will build a scraping workflow on your left-hand side. You can easily preview all the data that is going to be extracted on the “data preview” section.
Step 3: Run the crawler
And the last step is even more simple: save the crawler and run it. As you can see, within seconds, your target data is extracted from the webpage. When the extraction is completed, you can export the collected data into formats of your choice, including Excel sheets, CSV, HTML, SqlServer, MySql, etc. You can also stream live data into your database with Octoparse APIs.
