Turn browser clicks into repeatable scraping recipes.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m launching Pithom Labs Scraper — a local, UI-first web scraper that turns browser clicks into repeatable scraping recipes.
Most scraping tools expect you to start with selectors, scripts, proxies, or a hosted browser. Pithom Labs Scraper starts differently:
Open the Scraper UI.
Load a website you’re allowed to access.
Click the data you want.
Save the workflow as a recipe.
Run it again later and export to CSV/JSON.
The goal is to make web data extraction more approachable for beginners, while still being useful for developers who want inspectable recipes, CLI runs, local sessions, logs, validation, and clearer failure artifacts when a website changes.
I built this because scraping often fails in the worst possible way: not loudly, but quietly. Empty fields, broken pagination, selector drift, changed layouts, and bad rows can slip into your workflow without obvious warning.
Pithom Labs Scraper is designed around a different idea:
Scrape like a human first. Automate like an engineer after.
It is still early, and I expect edge cases across different sites, but the core workflow is ready to try.
Free to download. No account. No strings attached.
I’d love feedback from makers, data folks, developers, researchers, and anyone who has ever lost too much time fighting brittle scrapers.
