What is web scraping?

Web scraping is the automated extraction of data from websites. Instead of copying and pasting information manually, a scraper visits pages, parses the HTML, and pulls out the data you need into a structured format like a spreadsheet, database or JSON file. Draxiq builds custom scrapers in Python using tools like BeautifulSoup, Scrapy and Playwright — and we always advise on the legal and ethical implications upfront.

Common questions

Everything people ask before commissioning web scraping.

How much does a custom web scraper cost?
Draxiq web scrapers start at £150 for simple one-off scraping jobs (extract a single dataset from a single site). Recurring scrapers with scheduling, monitoring and alerts typically run £400–£1,200. Complex multi-site scrapers with anti-bot handling start at £1,500. Quoted bespoke based on the target sites and data volume.
Is web scraping legal?
Scraping publicly available data is generally legal in the UK and EU, but it depends on what you scrape, how you use it, and the target site's terms of service. We always advise on the specific situation upfront — and we won't build scrapers that violate GDPR, breach copyright, or extract personal data without lawful basis.
What if the website blocks scrapers?
Many sites use anti-bot measures (rate limiting, CAPTCHAs, bot detection). We use ethical techniques to handle these: respecting robots.txt, throttling requests, rotating user agents, using residential proxies if needed. We always prioritise the site's stability and legal compliance.
How fresh will the data be?
Whatever you need: one-off snapshots, daily refreshes, hourly updates, or near-real-time monitoring. The more frequent the refresh, the more infrastructure (proxies, servers) is needed — we will quote based on your requirements.
What format does the data come in?
Whatever's most useful: CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, JSON, database (PostgreSQL, MongoDB), or pushed directly into your existing system via API. We design the output format to fit your workflow.
How long does a scraper take to build?
Simple one-off scrapes: 2–5 days. Recurring scrapers with scheduling and monitoring: 1–2 weeks. Complex multi-site scrapers with anti-bot handling: 2–4 weeks.
