Zenrows is a data scraping tool that comes preloaded with proxies, the ability to parse data, and java script rendering.
3 reasons I'm such a big fan
- It's super easy to use for non coders like me
- the parsing of the data is really organized
- it's super cheap
Here's some pages I've scraped and returned all of the important information from.
Builtwith - every public builtwith link is builtwith(.com)/detailed/{{domain}}. You can use zenrows to scrape the page and then do a keyword search in the data to find the technologies you want to check are installed.
Capterra - scrape it for reviews and other data off the page
Owler - Great for scraping funding data and competitor data!
Glassdoor - grab all of the open jobs, reviews, and what people said about the company.
Indeed - similar use case as glassdoor but from the number 1 hiring site by volume besides LinkedIn
Crunchbase - this was like getting an early Christmas present. The amount of data you get back from crunchbase is amazing.
Similarweb - you can get all of the web traffic details from their programmatic pages.
You can also scrape YouTube, Gartner, Comparably, Clutch, the website you're viewing this from and so many other pages.
Combine this with Serper(.)dev so that you can take any company name or any website and find the data you're looking for.
If you're still reading this, here's a short list of data that I've been able to scrape for .0001 - .0025 depending on how much anti scrape the pages have.
- Revenue
- Technographics
- Intent data (yeah from Bombora that they are integrating with the programmatic pages. But who even knows the accuracy here.)
- Department headcount churn and growth...
- Events Attended and Sponsored
- Funding Rounds
- Total Funding
- Location Count
- Competitors
- Industry Classifications (you can hit multiple pages and use AI to output a better industry classification).
- Investors
- Recent Company News
- Web Traffic data
- Mergers and Acquisitions
- All Social links for a company
- Tech spend
- G2 Reviews
- Capterra Reviews
- data from the company website directly.
The list goes on with what you scrape. Seriously, go try it out and see what you can get. It integrates with Clay so you can use it with Clay credits or buy your own account.
