The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Web Page Data Extraction
A number of companies (including our own), that commercial applications, in particular, supply are designed to scrape screening. Applications vary quite a bit, but for medium to large projects, they are often a good solution. Each has its own learning curve, take the time to learn the ins and outs of a new application to plan.
What is the best way to retrieve data? That depends on what your needs are and what resources you have available. Different approach here, but also suggestions about what you could use any of the advantages and disadvantages are:
Disadvantages:
Learning Perl to Java regular expressions do not like. The Pearl of the XSLT, where you have the problem from a totally different way to wrap your mind around is like.
They are often confusing to analyze. Some people something as simple as an e-mail address match is made and you'll see what I mean take a look through the regular expression.
Searching the data (data that you want to page through different web pages) must still be treated, would be quite complicated if you need to deal with cookies and such.
When using this approach: You probably will be using regular expressions directly into screen scraping as a small job you have to be quick.
Benefits:
You build it once and it more or less content that you are targeting you to extract data from all pages of the domain.
The data model is typically built example, if you extract data from websites about cars already knows extraction engine make, model, price and what you do, so it's easy to present them can map the data structures to insert data into.
There is relatively little long-term maintenance.
Disadvantages:
And to it is much more to operate with such an engine is complex.
Such motors are expensive to build.
have to deal with. Data Discovery is such that you to pages where the data for web crawling process to retrieve.
It also makes sense to do that when you try to transfer data (such as newspaper advertisement) extract is a much unstructured format.
Screen scraping software
Disadvantages:
Learning curve. Each application has its own screen scraping way to go about things. How it works familiar with the core application in addition to learning a new scripting language might mean.
A possible cost.
A private airpark. How easily a single screen scraping application data is extracted from your own code to retrieve data?
Chances are however that if you do not mind a bit if you find yourself using one can be a significant time savings. A quick scrape of a page you are, you almost any language with regular expressions that can. Everything is designed for a screen scraping application can consider investing.
We currently have a project that deals with newspaper ads work. About the information in the ads as you can get as unstructured. But we still had to seek the information. we decided to use the screen scraper, and it's just a great deal. Fundamental process traverses the screen scraper site several in a database.
