We're able to quickly and painlessly create automated
scrapers across a variety of sites without worrying about
getting blocked (loading JS, rotating proxies, etc.),
scheduling, or scaling up when we want more data
- all we need to do is open the site that we want to
scrape in devtools, find the elements that we want to
extract, and MrScraper takes care of the rest! Plus, since
MrScraper's pricing is based on the size of the data that
we're extracting it's quite cheap in comparison to most
other services. I definitely recommend checking out
MrScraper if you want to take the complexity
out of scraping.

Now that I've finally set-up and tested my first scraper,
I'm really impressed. It was much easier to set up than I
would have guessed, and specifying a selector made it
dead simple. Results worked out of the box, on a site
that is super touch about being scraped.

I actually never expected us to be making this many
requests per month but MrScraper is so easy that we've
been increasing the amount of data we're collecting -
I have a few more scrapers that I need to add soon.
You're truly building a great product.
