Stop writing custom scraper scripts or paying for expensive cloud scrapers with rate limits. LocalScrape is a lightweight Chrome extension that lets you visually extract web data directly from your browser: • Visual Selector: Hover to highlight elements and click to extract. • Instant Export: Download structured data to clean CSV or JSON in seconds. • 100% Private & Local: Runs entirely in your browser—zero server calls, zero data logging, and no API keys required.
Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
I'm the maker behind LocalScrape.
As a developer and entrepreneur, I frequently need to grab quick datasets—whether it's competitive research, contact lists, or directory data. Every existing solution either required:
1. Setting up complex Python/Puppeteer environments, or
2. Paying monthly subscriptions for cloud scrapers that log your target URLs and throttle your requests.
I built LocalScrape to make web data extraction as simple as inspecting an element. You activate the extension, hover over the data you need, click to select matching patterns, and export directly to clean CSV or JSON.
Key Highlights:
🔒 100% Client-Side: Your scraping runs strictly inside your local browser engine. No third-party servers see what you scrape.
⚡ Instant Pattern Matching: Automatically detects repeating tables, lists, and card layouts.
📂 Clean Export: One-click export formatted for Excel, Google Sheets, or database pipelines.
LocalScrape is completely free to use. I’d love to hear your feedback, feature requests, and edge cases where you test it out! 🚀
