Anyone know a good scraping tool?
I've found Beautiful Soup and Scrapy (both Python tools).
A free one with a UI? Lol
I can build one with Python, just wondering is there's an alternative.

I've used WebScraper.io's chrome extension and it's very good! Also free :) https://www.webscraper.io
I can also suggest Selenium Webdriver https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/api.html but of course, you are gonna have to build from scratch. At least, you can use Python to build with it :)
Thanks Mehmet!
What are you trying to scrape? Does it need to be done once or on a schedule? How challenging is it?
Hey Sean, I'm scraping motorcycle parts websites for part lists. There's no deadline and the only challenging aspect of it is scraping a part based on fitment. The part data should be nested in the particular motorcycle it fits.
Data Miner chrome extension for easy click and point scraping
Puppeteer is a library to run Chrome headlessly. It's pretty well suited for web scraping. I recently did a youtube video on using it to perform automated form submission. Not quite the same but might give you a decent idea on how it runs.
