Octopus Data Inc.

Octopus Data Inc. concentrates on democratizing web-scraping through its flagship product Octoparse, a Windows desktop suite that converts any visible web content into clean, structured tables without requiring scripts, SQL, or API tokens. Market researchers, price-monitoring teams, e-commerce catalog managers, and academic data collectors load the visual workflow designer, click through pagination, pop-ups, and infinite scroll areas, and let the built-in browser engine execute the sequence in the cloud or on-premise. Output formats cover Excel, CSV, JSON, MySQL, SQL Server, and direct REST endpoints, while scheduled agents refresh datasets hourly, daily, or on demand. Advanced mode offers XPath selector panels, regular-expression filters, IP rotation, CAPTCHA-solving integrations, and proxy pools for large-scale extraction that respects robots.txt and site-specific delays. Typical use cases include competitive price tracking across marketplaces, real-estate listing aggregation, social-media sentiment harvesting, lead generation from public directories, and training-set creation for machine-learning models. A shared workspace lets teams co-author robots, annotate fields, and publish results to internal BI dashboards or Google Sheets. Octopus Data maintains a cloud console for job queuing, bandwidth throttling, and export history, giving non-developers an alternative to custom Python scrapers or expensive DaaS vendors. The publisher’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest release and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
