Web Data Extraction Challenges

Despite its vast potential, web data extraction can come with challenges—especially when dealing with intricate or dynamic sites. The complexity of a website often determines how easy or difficult it will be to scrape. Websites with a lot of AJAX, JavaScript, or CAPTCHA can require advanced tools or knowledge to extract data effectively. However, Sequentum Cloud simplifies many of these challenges with built-in tools that handle form submissions, dynamic content loading and CAPTCHA bypassing.

Common Obstacles:

Dynamic content loading with AJAX or JavaScript
Deterrents like CAPTCHA or IP blocking
High-volume extraction across millions of web pages
Non-HTML formats, such as PDFs or Flash content
