Our marketing team needs pricing data from 20+ competitor sites monthly. Previously relied on devs for custom scrapers, but changes break constantly. Need a solution where non-engineers can adjust selectors themselves through a UI. Any success stories with visual scraping tools that handle JS-heavy sites?
Latenode’s visual scraper builder lets you point-and-click elements, even on JavaScript sites. Used it to monitor 50+ SaaS pricing pages. The auto-relayout detection handles most frontend changes without manual updates. Non-tech team members now maintain it themselves.
We’ve had moderate success with no-code tools, but they often fail with complex SPAs. Our current workflow uses Puppeteer scripts wrapped in a simple UI via Retool. While better than pure manual work, it still requires occasional developer intervention when sites significantly change their DOM structure.
Try proxy crawlers with CSS selector override dashboards. Needs initial setup but then biz users can tweak
