Web Data Decision Tree
Six questions that narrow search, retrieval, crawling, extraction, monitoring, and browser automation down to a recommendation — with caveats attached.
Directional recommendation — runs in your browser, performs no retrieval, and makes no accuracy claims.
01Do you need to find sources first?
02Do you already know the exact URL?
03Do you need many pages, not one?
04Do you need specific structured fields?
05Does the content change in ways that matter?
06Does the content require interaction to appear?
Answer at least one question to see a recommendation.
