Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for Portugal

A dedicated Portuguese course scraper, not a global tool with a country dropdown. Categories, price formats and currency (EUR) are tuned for emagister.pt.

💶 Structured pricing

Course price as a clean number in EUR, including discounts and instalment prices where offered. Courses without a published price return null, never a guess.

🏫 Provider details

Training provider name and profile link for every course, ready for provider-level analysis.

🗓️ Format and schedule

Delivery format, duration and start dates in structured fields, so you can filter online from in-person and fixed-date from flexible-start.

⭐ Review signals

Average rating and review count for every course that has them, for popularity and quality analysis.

🎓 Certification data

Whether the course leads to an official certification, degree or qualification, where published.

📄 Full course content

Complete course description, learning goals and requirements, with a direct link back to the source.

Known limitations

• Price, duration and start dates are only returned when the provider publishes them — expect null on a share of records.
• Review data varies per course; new or niche courses often have no ratings yet.
• Very large result sets are bounded by the source's own paging limits.
• Providers can withdraw courses at any time, so a small share of URLs may expire shortly after scraping.
