Overview
Simplescraper is a browser extension and cloud API platform that turns any website into a structured dataset without requiring code. Install it from the Chrome Web Store, open any page, and use its point-and-click interface to select the data fields you need. Once configured, scrapes run in Simplescraper's cloud infrastructure on demand, on a schedule, or via a REST API. Results export to Google Sheets, Airtable, JSON, or CSV. Simplescraper 2.0 adds AI-powered extraction: describe what you want in plain language and the tool identifies the relevant data without CSS selectors. It handles complex pages including JavaScript-rendered content, infinite scroll, and pagination. The free tier includes 100 cloud credits and 3 saved recipes. Paid plans start at $39/month for 6,000 credits with full API, scheduling, and integration access. Trusted by over 90,000 users.

How It Works
Install Simplescraper from the Chrome Web Store and navigate to any webpage you want to scrape. Click the extension icon to open the selection panel, then click on the elements you want to capture. Simplescraper identifies the repeating structure automatically. Give each field a name, run a test scrape to preview the output, then save it as a recipe. Alternatively, use AI-powered extraction by typing a plain-language prompt describing the data you need. Recipes can run on demand or on a schedule, with scrapes executing in Simplescraper's cloud. Results land in your dashboard as a structured table. Export to Google Sheets with automatic row appending, download as JSON or CSV, or call the built-in API endpoint to pull data into other tools. Simplescraper handles pagination, infinite scroll, and JavaScript-rendered pages automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions

Does Simplescraper work on all websites?
It works on most public websites, including those that load content dynamically via JavaScript. Simplescraper handles infinite scroll and pagination automatically. Some sites with heavy anti-scraping measures may require additional configuration.
What is included in the free plan?
