"It has allowed me to get very quickly and information that I need for my developments"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Webz.io?

The most interesting thing about Webhouse.io turns out to be its interface, which has a fairly simple, straightforward and intuitive design that allows us to perform all our tasks in a much simpler, faster and more practical way, the fact that it allows me to achieve Much faster and easier all the documentation, code and apis that I need for my projects is something that is definitely quite useful to speed up my developments, in fact something that I also liked a lot is the fact that I can search for a safer and faster way on the dark web, which is something not many applications offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webz.io?

What bothers me the most is the fact that to perform a search on the dark web requires authorization from the webhouse.io team, something that seems unnecessary to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean data scraping of web forum and blogs"
5/5
What do you like best about Webz.io?

The api are easy to use and provide full control for language and source selection. It is possible to specify individual domains, though not new ones to my knowledge. The preview feature is fantastic for real time feedback to our clients. Overall, the web interface and the api have been very useful to us in assisting our own clients. So far, Webhose is the cheapest solution for getting this data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webz.io?

Not possible to add particular domains to be crawled at least from our experience. Historical data are not retained for us, so we needed to pay twice the same historical data collection. It would be useful to guarantee a personal repository to keep all historical data requests until the user explicitly delete them.

As of Feb 2020, it is no longer possible to change the plan within the web interface and it is need the intervention of the sales representative. I think this is a great limitation for small companies like ours which are quite dynamic and need to adapt to the cash flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great customer service"
5/5
What do you like best about Webz.io?

Webhose services help our clients to know if news portals are talking about their businesses or relevant issues. What I like best about Webhose is that the customer service is excelent, if I have a problem they will help me ASAP to resolve it or explain why it is happening and what I can do about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webz.io?

When we first start using the service our queries where pretty big, we have a lot of keywords to search and exclude. Then we had to reduce the length of it because of the HTTP request limitations, so we are making more generic queries, resulting much more results and therefore, having to make more queries to paginate that results and using more quota. Then we have to filter on our end the contents that really match with the keywords logic that we need for our service and discard the excess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Really great data source"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Webz.io?

We love Webhose and use it for the source of data for our content curation search engine. It works really great and fairly simple to set up if you are a dev.

Thoroughly recommended for platforms or services looking for a done for you web scraper and data supplier for the purposes of content marketing/sharing etc.

The cost of the platform is extremely affordable for one man bands or growing companies and the rate at which they index new content and data is very fast.

The support team are pretty much available whenever I need them and they usually respond with a solution within 24 hours so it really helps knowing they are on standby, usually its something I have done wrong and not the actual API itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webz.io?

Setup could be a little easier but this may be because I'm not a fully fledged developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Huge Amounts of Data for our Product"
4/5
What do you like best about Webz.io?

The amount of data that comes in through webhose is massive, it's more than the other providers we tested. The Python API is quite useful as well. Support is pretty good, too, they typically answer most questions within a couple of hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Webz.io?

You cannot use your regular credits to get data older than 30 days but instead have to pay additionally if you want to access old data. Besides, the data is not enriched, i.e. you don't really know about the category (apart from overall page category). You also need to take care of deduplicating data yourself.
