Data Crawling

The explosive growth of data available on the World Wide Web has made this the largest publicly accessible data-bank in the world. Therefore, it presents an unprecedented opportunity for data mining and knowledge discovery. Web crawlers, or spiders, are programs that automatically browse and download web pages by following hyperlinks in a methodical and automated manner. Various types of web crawlers exist. Universal crawlers are intended to crawl and index all web pages, regardless of their content.

Crawlers are URL discovery tools. You give them a webpage to start from and they will follow all the links they can find on that page. If the links they follow lead them to a page they haven’t been to before, they will follow all the links on that page as well. And so on, and so on, in a loop. The good thing about crawlers is they try to visit every page on a website, so they are very complete. We understand your need for processed information and help you analyze, visualize and monitor it closely. To help the end user make the most of the obtained data, we also build interactive applications that facilitate further analysis.
