How much will it cost to scrape a website?
See my quote tool to get an idea of cost. These are the main factors that make a job more difficult, and therefore more expensive: • Restrictions on the number of page views per user, which means I need to use multiple IP addresses • Badly or inconsistently structured data • Obfuscated data, which needs to be decoded • Data dynamically loaded with Javascript • Data embedded in Flash • There is a huge quantity of data If the website is relatively small, well structured, and the data is embedded cleanly in the HTML then I should be able to do it for $150 USD. Prices are discounted when ordering multiple scrapes. I am not the cheapest because I am not the worst. However I am a one man band so my overhead is less than most.
