    Data Scraper

    Hi,

    I am wondering if someone can give me some support -

    I am looking for information around how to develop a Data Scraping script. IE; it is my intention to scape data from Google regarding restaurants, including:

    - Restaurant Name
    - Restaurant Email Address
    - Restaurant Location
    - Restaurant Contact #

    Should you require any additional information, please let me know.

    Warm Regards,
    Martin

    Data mining is what you want. Google it and there are many hits. I don't think that Excel is the tool that you should use.

    Re: Data Scraper

    Hi newdoverman, thank you for your response.

    Please can you suggest an appropriate program? - I tried WebHarvy, phenomenal piece of software. However, it is limited on the trial version and I am a little reluctant to fully purchase the software at this stage.

    Is there something of a similar nature that is restriction-free without purchasing a license?

    Kind Regards.

    Here is a site that claims to list 50 alternatives to WebHarvy. Finding what you want is a matter of doing the searches and seeing what is out there.
