I Tried 20+ No-Code Web Scraping Tools to Make Money - These 3 Are the Absolute Best

The other tools? They hardly ever work like they say they will. And for most people, scraping data becomes nothing but a pain.

Let me be honest — I’ve tried every web scraping method out there.

I’ve written Python scripts, played around with no-code tools, wrestled with APIs, and even used AI to scrape websites.

And you know what? The only thing that consistently worked was writing code with top Python packages.

But here’s the problem — that only works if you’re a programmer. And most people aren’t.

The other tools? They hardly ever work like they say they will. And for most people, scraping data becomes nothing but a pain.

Well, not anymore.

I’ve tested over 20 no-code web scraping tools, and I’m going to share the best ones with you.

Plus, I’ll show you how to make money with them.

Let’s start.

1. Octoparse

I don’t know why I didn’t try this earlier — but seriously, this tool is insane.

I’m talking about Octoparse — one of the best no-code web scraping tools on the internet to help everyone scrape data.

And I actually liked how it works and how it makes the process super easy.

To get started, just visit their website and download their app.

When you open the app, you can start by adding the specific URL to scrape data, and proceed further. Even it has multiple tutorials and several popular templates to make things even easier.

I was creating a children’s book using AI and needed some data from Amazon for research.

So I simply added the specific link to Octoparse — and when I started the process, I enabled their Auto-detection feature.

It automatically found the needed data and created a workflow.

Sure, I can easily modify the changes using their point-and-click interface, adjust the workflow as I wanted, and proceed to scrape.

It’s that simple.

Now, after creating the workflow, you can either run the task locally on your device or in the cloud.

I selected the “Run on your device” option and proceeded further.

Here’s the data it provided me:

And the best part?

They have a number of prebuilt task templates for literally everything — from scraping contact details to Amazon, YouTube, Twitter, Google Maps, and more.

This allows you to use any of these prebuilt templates and scrape websites in no time.

Now, let’s talk about some of its insane features:

• First of all, it has a super easy point-and-click interface, so you can just click on the data you want from a web page. You don’t need any coding experience.

• It even has an auto-detection feature that automatically finds the relevant data when you add a specific link to scrape the data and even creates a workflow.

• It can handle websites with tricky, dynamic content, like those using AJAX and JavaScript. It can also behave like a real user, prevent IP blocking during data extraction, and more.

• Lastly, you can run the tasks on your device or in the cloud, and you can export data with ease in multiple formats.
