Here are some more examples:
It may happen, though, that you can’t download data via export or you need an alternative method of downloading the information. A solution would be to scrape entire website content and/or products into CSV.
Scraping is a programmatic way of extracting data from the website’s html. With web scraping, it’s possible to copy articles, products, and other data visible at the site front. Also, you can scrape html formatting, meta tags, product SKUs, variations, aggregated ratings, and other details from the code.
Let’s see how to download entire website content with the eScraper service.
Below are some additional details related to particular cases.
The simplest situation is downloading all available store data into a plain CSV. In that case, you’ll just have to provide a source website URL. Also, specify if you need all data scraped or just certain fields:
Here is an example of the free sample CSV file opened with a spreadsheet editor:

The speed and price of data extraction will depend on the size of the website and its structure. The size of the website influences the number of rows in the result file. As for the structure, some websites are really tricky to scrape. For instance, there may be variations with different prices and images. Extracting them requires custom work and extra / additional time.
If scraping all products from an online store or website implies further import to a CMS, shopping cart, online marketplace, or other platform, you will need a file in the predefined format. That’s when eScraper comes to help with a perfectly-formatted file ready for import. Here is an example of the file tailored for WooCommerce import. Besides the extracted data, it features columns from the native WooCommerce import file:

The default service offers integration with WooCommerce, Shopify, PrestaShop, and Magento. Integration with other shoppings carts, CMSs, and external platforms is possible too. Contact the eScraper team and provide all details you have to get estimates.
Some of the tasks outlined above would require regular updates. Thus an affiliate who is selling from a vendor’s website would like to get updates on stock, new arrivals, and sales. Also, you will probably want to sync data from a website with your store on the external platform.
For cases like these, eScraper offers a subscription service that presumes regular scraping of the data you need. Having agreed the schedule, you’ll get an updated information with the notification via email.
