Declarative web scraping
Ferret helps you automatically collect information from websites, whether they are static or dynamic. You provide a set of instructions on what data to look for on a webpage, and Ferret extracts it into structured results. This is ideal for data analysts, market researchers, or anyone needing to gather large amounts of web data for reports, analytics, or other business tasks.
5,945 stars. Actively maintained with 37 commits in the last 30 days.
Use this if you need to systematically extract specific data from multiple web pages without manual copy-pasting, even from sites that require interactions like clicking buttons or scrolling.
Not ideal if you're looking for a simple browser extension for occasional, one-off data grabs or if you need a visual point-and-click interface to define your data extraction rules.
