Introducing Simplescraper's Free URL Extractor: The Fastest Way to Get All Links From a Website

Blog cover image

Getting the complete list of all URLs from a website should be easier. Search online for 'URL extractor' and most of the offerings don't work, are hidden behind a login, or only return a handful of a website's URLs.

We've built Simplescraper's new URL Extractor to fix this.

Now all you have to do is visit the URL extractor, enter a website's URL, and click the 'get data' button. After a few seconds you'll have a full list of all the links on that website. Fast and simple, just as it should be.

What Makes Our URL Extractor Different

While most URL extractors scrape the links from a single page, our tool goes deeper:

  1. Complete Website Mapping: Our tool analyzes a website's structure through sitemaps and multiple URL discovery methods
  2. Concurrent Crawling: Simplescraper's fleet of cloud browsers quickly map all pages and links across the target site
  3. Instant Results: All URLs are extracted, browsable and ready for download in CSV and TXT formats within seconds.

And it works whether the website has a sitemap or not, meaning you'll find pages that other tools miss.

The Perfect Companion to Simplescraper

While the URL Extractor is useful on its own, it's the perfect starting point to getting website data with Simplescraper. A workflow may look like this:

  1. Start with URL extraction to map a website's structure
  2. Identify key pages you want to analyze further
  3. Use Simplescraper's main scraping tool to extract specific data from those pages

For example, you can use Simplescraper's batch scraper to scrape all of a website's product pages, or extract markdown via our API. For more insight you could set up a prompt like 'extract the most common keywords in this text' and Simplescraper's AI Enhance will return this information for every single URL that you scrape.

Unlocking Insights with URLs + AI

In our next post we'll explore using AI and scraped data in more detail, specifically focusing on how Large Language Models like ChatGPT can leverage website URLs alone to uncover surprisingly detailed insights. Think targeted keywords, site hierarchy, content categorization, competitor priorities, and hidden SEO patterns - all valuable indicators of how businesses structure their content. These insights can directly inform your own strategy, without even visiting the pages themselves.
