Purpose
The purpose and intent of web scraping is to simulate the human browsing experience by
replicating computer commands to browse, search, navigate, and ultimately extract specific
data fields from a web page. The benefit and value of web scraping lies in the automation of
the data collection and the transformation of the data itself from an unstructured format to a
structured format such as CSV, TSV, or XML where it can be uploaded, stored and analyzed.
Uses
Scraping contact information from the web has become a standard practice within sales
organizations and marketing departments worldwide. Finding the right person in an
organization to sell to or market to is no longer the dreaded task it used to be. The availability
of information combined with easy access to information allows anyone to create targeted call
lists, email lists, mailing lists, competitor lists, etc. For those able to utilize Social Media, contact
lists can be further refined to target such things as title, age, gender, or even shared hobbies.
Other uses for scraping contact information include:
