Recently, we participated in a webinar hosted by NachoNacho. So, we'd like to share the best moments and key insights with you! If you wanna see the full webinar, check out the link in the comments.
Question: At first glance, web scraping seems highly technical. Would you say it’s true? How accessible is it for those with limited tech knowledge?
Answer: On one hand, web scraping can indeed be highly technical. However, I'd say that it's a common misconception that it's exclusively a developer activity..Nowadays, an increasing number of teams within the company need data, and the majority of the time - it’s not tech teams. Also, some businesses just cannot afford to keep an internal scraping team - and resources need to be allocated elsewhere in terms of opportunity cost
That's why our market has evolved, offering a variety of tools for people with limited tech skills (no-code or little-code)For example, Smartproxy’s recent release was s scrapers with pre-built templates for search engine result pages, eCommerce sites, and more.
In addition, we, especially my team, also care about making web scraping as smooth as possible for our users. That's why we offer 24/7 support, Quick Start Guides, extensive documentation, blogs, video tutorials, and more. This ensures that even those with less tech knowledge can easily use our products.
So, in the end, web scraping accessibility has significantly improved in recent years, and it surely doesn't have to be highly technical.
