Introducing Adcolabs Scraper 2.0: Redefining Web Scraping Efficiency 🚀

After six months of evaluation and development, we are thrilled to officially present the latest version of our web scraping platform—Adcolabs Scraper!

We launched the first version back in February, and thanks to the valuable feedback from our first 100 users, we’ve been able to identify areas for improvement. Web scraping is inherently a dynamic and individual task, with requirements changing rapidly. This inspired us to learn from our first version, pinpoint what worked (and what didn’t), and create a better, more user-friendly solution.

With this second version, we’ve simplified the process, removed unnecessary complexity, and introduced a host of new features—including improved documentation and a Swagger UI for easier API integration.

What’s New?

🎨 Fresh Design

We’ve completely revamped the design to align with Adcolabs’ corporate colors, creating a cohesive visual identity across the platform. The new design isn’t just about looks—it’s also more intuitive, helping you navigate effortlessly.

🤝 Enhanced User Experience

To improve usability, we’ve reorganized the interface. Extractions and scrapers are now treated as separate entities, each accessible from its own menu. This change ensures clarity and simplifies your workflow.

⚙️ Simplified Scraper and Extraction Creation

We’ve made it easier to set up scrapers and extractions. Scrapers now come with a weekly timetable scheduler, allowing you to define specific days and times for them to run. Add as many entries as you need to achieve the perfect schedule for your tasks.

đź“‹ Ready-to-Use Selectors: Extractors

We’re excited to introduce Extractors, pre-configured selectors tailored for specific use cases. Need something custom? Just request it, and we’ll create a selector to extract the exact data you need. Over time, we’ll continue adding more Extractors to the library, which you can activate or deactivate as needed. Learn more in our documentation..

⚡ Faster and More Efficient Extractions

We’ve made significant upgrades to our stack, resulting in a much faster scraping process. By leveraging real browsers, each task now completes in about 30 seconds, making your workflows more efficient than ever.

đź“Š Redesigned Dashboard

The dashboard has been updated to display more relevant information at a glance. We’ve also included an easy-to-follow Getting Started Guide to help you hit the ground running.

đź“š Improved Documentation

We’ve overhauled our documentation and introduced a Swagger UI page, making it easier than ever to utilize our API efficiently.

đź”” Better Webhooks

Webhooks are now more reliable and trigger instantly, ensuring you’re notified the moment your extraction tasks are complete. Check out our docs for detailed instructions.

🔕 Removing Unnecessary Noise

We’ve streamlined the platform by eliminating unnecessary elements, improving overall structure and usability.

What’s Next?

We’re already hard at work on the next set of features:

  • Video Recording: Soon, you’ll be able to capture videos of your scraping processes or automated browser tasks, perfect for documentation or troubleshooting.
  • Libraries for Easy Integration: We’re developing libraries to seamlessly integrate Adcolabs Scraper into your applications.
