Large-Scale Scraping

    The public web, delivered as clean data.

    We design, run and maintain collection pipelines that pull structured data from thousands of sites — and keep working when those sites change, rate-limit or fight back.

    Overview

    Scrapers are easy. Scrapers that still work next month are not.

    A script that fetches a page is an afternoon of work. A pipeline that collects from hundreds of changing sites, gets past bot defences responsibly, notices when a layout shifts and still lands correct, deduplicated records in your warehouse every morning — that is infrastructure.

    We build it as infrastructure: distributed workers, observable queues, schema validation on every record and alerting when data quality drops. You get the dataset; we carry the maintenance.

    01 — Capabilities

    Large-Scale Scraping

    • Distributed crawling

      Horizontally scaled workers with polite scheduling, retries and per-domain concurrency limits.

    • Headless browser fleets

      Real browser rendering for JavaScript-heavy sites, with consistent, realistic client profiles.

    • Access resilience

      Proxy pools, session management and adaptive back-off to handle rate limits and bot protection.

    • Extraction & normalisation

      Parsers with schema validation, entity matching and deduplication across sources.

    • Change detection

      Layout and data-quality monitors that catch breakage before it reaches your reports.

    • Delivery & APIs

      Data pushed to your warehouse, bucket or webhook — or served through a documented API.

    02 — Process

    From target list to daily feed

    You define the data you need. We own the path to it.

    1. 01

      Scope

      Agree sources, fields, freshness and the legal basis for each source.

    2. 02

      Pilot

      A sample dataset from representative sources to validate structure and quality.

    3. 03

      Scale

      Roll out across all sources with monitoring and quality gates in place.

    4. 04

      Maintain

      Ongoing fixes as sites change, with SLAs on freshness and completeness.

    04 — FAQ

    Common questions

    Is web scraping legal?

    Collecting publicly available data is generally lawful in the EU and US, but it depends on the source, the data and how it is used. We review each source, avoid personal data unless you have a lawful basis, and respect access restrictions.

    What happens when a site changes?

    Monitors flag missing fields or shifted layouts within hours. Fixes are part of the maintenance agreement, not a new project.

    Can we run it ourselves?

    Yes. We can hand over the full pipeline as code in your cloud account, with documentation and a transition period.
