Web data extraction is a technique for collecting huge amounts of data from websites which is conventionally not available in easy-to-download format for further processing. Forward-thinking and data driven companies have been aggregating and mining web data from long time as the web is the largest repository of data.

As a web crawling company, PromptCloud has witnessed steady growth in demand for web data over the years; however, in the last year, there was unprecedented demand for managed web scraping service. There were primarily the following factors that contributed the most:

- The scale at which businesses consume web data has increased by many folds.
- The complexity and dynamic nature of the sites have increased.
- The common nuances of web data scraping has also grown significantly.

The combination of these factors has made web data acquisition difficult for companies without the domain knowledge of web crawling. As a result, more and more companies are turning to fully managed web scraping service providers like PromptCloud to take care of end-to-end data acquisition pipeline.

This helps companies focus on the application of the data without worrying about the data collection aspect while generating immense value in terms of ROI. PromptCloud, as a fully managed service provider innovates and invests resources in novel web crawling techniques so that clients can take the benefit of high quality data. Given below are the primary reasons that make clients of various sizes partner with us for web data delivery:
