If you were to do market research prices manually, you'd probably have to pay a lot of money (typically more than $15,000) for a custom industry report or collect data online yourself. Then you would need to put it into a structured database or even just an Excel spreadsheet. Web scraping does this job for you and creates datasets of structured data from the web pages that you point it to. Scraping is essential if you want to do market research at scale and it will save you an immense amount of time.
It is legal to scrape publicly available data such as product descriptions, prices, or ratings. On the other hand, certain types of data, such as personal data or copyrighted content, are under special legal protection and you should not scrape these without first making sure you follow the relevant laws and regulations. Read through our blog post on the web scraping legality to learn more about the law and extracting data from the web. Web scraping for market research is specfically permitted in the European Union by the DSM directive.
Knock yourself out! Our platform was built to host and run thousands of scrapers. You can customize a universal Web Scraper or start a new one with some of our ready-made templates in Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript.
