Off-the-shelf scraping tools handle simple pages. We build custom scrapers for complex sources — dynamic content, authentication, pagination, anti-scraping measures.
Generic scraping tools work for simple static pages. You need a custom scraper when: the target site is JavaScript-heavy; the data is behind a login; pagination is complex or non-standard; the site has anti-scraping measures; the data needs significant transformation; or the extraction needs to run reliably on a schedule.
Custom scrapers include: the extraction logic for the specific source handling all edge cases; proxy and IP rotation if needed; scheduling to run at your required cadence; output formatting to your required structure; delivery to your destination; and error handling that alerts when the source changes.
Single-source scrapers with scheduling and delivery: £1,500-3,000. Complex scrapers requiring browser automation, proxy rotation, and multi-source coverage: £3,000-7,000.
