What is browser scraping?

Browser scraping runs in Chrome through the Simplescraper extension: you open a page, choose the data in the side panel and get the results in seconds. Because it runs in your own browser, it reaches pages behind your login, and runs of up to five pages need no account and use no credits.

To run on a schedule, across thousands of URLs in parallel or while your browser is closed, use cloud scraping.
