Data extraction from news sites and social media platforms is becoming an increasingly common practice. Popular use cases range from ensuring more informed investment decisions to protecting brand reputation.

Our vision was to create a single API that takes care of all your web data extraction needs. So we built a web scraping infrastructure that can handle the most demanding use cases for the most sophisticated users.

We are thrilled with the success of this year’s Extract Summit that took place last week in London, UK.

We are delighted to announce that Extract Summit 2021 will be a virtual event again in 2021 brought to you by Zyte .

February 2nd, 2021, Scrapinghub, a global leader in web data extraction technology and services, today becomes Zyte.

Whether you are managing a hedge fund trying to find innovative sources of alpha or are an analyst looking to future proof your company’s financial investments, as big data continues to disrupt the investment research landscape, getting on top of these alternative datasets as early as possible is the key to capturing the immense alpha left in this data.

The range of use cases for web data extraction is rapidly increasing and with it the necessary investment. Plus the number of websites continues to grow rapidly and is expected to exceed 2 billion by 2020.

Welcome to This Month in Open Source at Zyte! In this regular column, we share all the latest updates on our open source projects including Scrapy, Splash, Portia, and Frontera.

Being free to work from wherever you feel like, no boundaries holding you to a specific place or country.

From the beginning, Zyte has been a fully remote company, and now boasts over 100 employees working from all over the world, either from their homes or local coworking spaces.

When Zyte came into the world in 2010, one thing we wanted was for it to be a company which could be powered by a global workforce, each individual working remotely from anywhere in the world.
