GrabzIt Limited Information

GrabzIt was created to enable the easy capturing and converting of data and content on the web in a way that is useful to companies and individuals. To do this we created a Screenshot Tool and Capture API that can convert any URL or HTML snippet into a image, rendered HTML, DOCX or PDF document. Services were also provided to convert online videos into animated GIF’s and to extract and convert HTML tables from web pages into a useful data format. To make this functionality even easier to use we created a series of plugins that can be easily added to blogs and websites with little or no coding knowledge. Next, GrabzIt’s Web Scraper was created to make it possible to extract data and files from the web pages and PDF documents and transform it into a easy to use format such as a CSV or Database Export. The Web Scraper follow links in the web page like a normal user, however it uses multiple browser instances and IP addresses to speed up the web scraping process. We wanted to make our Web Scraper as flexible as possible to we also integrated the Web Scraper with our capture API’s, which means you can use the Web Scraper to crawl a website and use the API to convert every visited web page into a PDF or image for example. Additionally an API was added to the Web Scraper to allow it to be controlled by third party applications and to enable the integration of scrape results directly into an app. Finally, we wanted to extend the reach of our capture services so we invented the GrabzIt’s IntraProxy, which can be placed in a network and allows our tools to scrape and capture intranet websites.
