Data extraction services providers offer data extraction services and exports for businesses. Data extraction, sometimes also known as web scraping, is the scraping of data from a website or any other source like online forms, emails, and others using web scraping tools. Web scraping tools simulate the activity of scraping data by collecting specific pieces of information from the source. Data extraction services allow companies to outsource their extraction needs to experts and technicians who sort through web pages, databases, documents, images, folders accurately. Users can send across their requirements and their data sources to these data extraction service providers, who will take over the entire extraction process for the customer.
Businesses can leverage data extraction services providers to help generate leads, gather relevant information from competing business’ web pages, identify trends from document collections, and improve analysis of otherwise unstructured information. Data extraction services providers may utilize data extraction software to assist in the extraction process.
To qualify for inclusion in the Data Extraction Services category, a services provider must:
- Provide a workforce of data extraction service professionals
- Have the ability to pull data from a variety of sources
