Import.io provides a visual environment for automating the workflow of extracting and transforming web data. After specifying the target website URL, the web data extraction module provides a visual environment for designing automated workflows for harvesting data, going beyond HTML parsing of static content to automate end-user interactions yielding data that would otherwise not be immediately visible.
When I used it last time, it didn't have any feature for autoscrolling web pages. Also sometimes it crawls a lot of pages but the data is not harvested, and it doesn't tell you a lot of things to debug, why or what is wrong with your crawler.
It is very Powerful and there's more to just extraction these days, with manipulation and reporting.
I set up an extractor to use for data analysis of URLs of many different groups and it was pretty easy to do. I had many contacts from the import.io team and good help. I also worked some on a web crawler. Eventually, I switched off to a different project where I didn't need this functionality, but it worked really well.
It's easy to use and you can pull all sorts of data from a webpage. I've used it in several different jobs from tracking discounts to RRP and to map out a products life cycle.
The pricing has gone up dramatically over the past couple of years. They used to have a free tier which was very useful and provided basic functionality, but they seem to have removed that.
We used to manually pull data from websites via Excel, but this has automated that function
First of all it is very easy to use. And this tool gives you the ability to generate custom data through web scraping. This tool makes very easy to generate data in just few clicks even you are a non-programmer.
This tool has so many cool features but what i dislike about this tool is their price are very expensive. If you are a single user of this tool then you can not afford. Apart from this everything is fine.
I recommend this tool only for the agency. As i say this tool is too costly for single person.
As i am not a programmer every time i want some custom data i have to hire an professional programmer. Then i started using this tool and it is very easy to generat any custom data.
Easy to use, the desktop application is simple.
I did appreciate the website format, I wish the app would have kept a similar layout.
Import.io is a great tool if you have a list of data on a website that you would like to convert to csv format. It is smart enough to know what data should be captured, and you can also set up manual selections for what to choose.
List generation/gathering. Compiling data on people that work at certain companies.
It has an Intuitive interface and powerful tools
Very costly and not realistic for small operations
Harvesting vendor contact details from websites
It's fairly user friendly. Takes some getting used to but once you get the basics you can quickly ramp up to more complicated use cases
The UI could use some work to make setup more clear.
If you need data extraction without enginereing this is for you
Wanted to monitor live changes on movements of shipments in transit
1. It is very Powerful and there's more to just extraction these days, with manipulation and reporting.
2. It is very easy to get started with smart data extraction and there's a lot that can be done without REGEX or XPath.
3. Great support.
It's not affordable for the single user anymore.

This saved me at minimum days of manual entry from websites. And that was for a small project. With a large extraction job this would be a lifesaver.
Import.io has many features like auto-extraction, reporting, scheduler, online datastore.
It is in BETA also we cannot control the scraping process in details. Also it doesn't solve CAPTCHA
Process of automation of mails to large set of people
