+

Our data scraping services go beyond basic web extraction. We collect data from websites, REST APIs, document repositories, and legacy databases — transforming raw digital content into clean, analysis-ready datasets your business can act on immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

+
+
+
+
What is data scraping and how does it work?
+
Data scraping is the automated extraction of structured information from digital sources — websites, APIs, documents, or databases. Our tools programmatically navigate sources, identify relevant data fields, extract and clean the content, then deliver it to you in a structured format. The process is faster, more accurate, and far more scalable than manual data collection.
+
+
+
How much does a data scraping service cost?
+
Costs vary by project scope, source complexity, and data volume. One-time data scraping projects typically start from £500. Recurring automated data collection ranges from £750 to £2,500+/month depending on frequency, source count, and required maintenance. We provide fixed-price quotes within 24 hours — no surprises.
+
+
+
Is data scraping legal in the UK?
+
Data scraping is legal in the UK when limited to publicly available information used for legitimate business purposes. All our projects comply with UK GDPR, the Computer Misuse Act, copyright law, and the specific terms of service of each source. We perform a compliance review before every project begins and only collect data that is publicly accessible.
+
+
+
How long does a data scraping project take?
+
Simple one-time projects are typically delivered within 2-5 business days. More complex projects involving multiple sources, custom parsing, or data enrichment may take 1-2 weeks for initial delivery. For recurring projects, once set up, data is delivered automatically on your chosen schedule — daily, weekly, or hourly for time-sensitive use cases.
+
+
+
What happens if a source website changes its structure?
+
Our monitoring systems detect structural changes automatically. For recurring subscriptions, we update scrapers promptly — typically within 24-48 hours of a detected change. Maintenance is included in all recurring plans at no additional cost, so your data pipeline keeps running without interruption.
+
+
+
Can you scrape data that requires a login?
+
Yes. We can extract data from login-protected sources using credentials you provide. This is common for extracting data from platforms where you have a legitimate account and the right to access the data — for example, your own CRM export, a paid data portal subscription, or an API you are licensed to use.
