The first-ever Web Data Extraction Summit presented by Zyte

The first-ever Web Data Extraction Summit!

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.

Sourcing accurate reliable web data is becoming a focus for most forward-thinking companies to give them the advantage they need to compete. Most start with internal, home-grown systems but as their projects need to scale or get more complex they quickly realize they don't have the necessary expertise in-house and look to outsource. Finding the right partner is key.

Zyte has been helping companies get access to this data by turning websites into structured data for the last 10 year, and the Web Data Extraction Summit is aimed at bringing together the thought leaders and visionaries in the industry in a one-day event.

Presented by Zyte , the first Web Data Extraction Summit will be held in Dublin, Ireland on 17th September 2019. This is the first-ever event dedicated to web data and extraction and will be graced by over 100 CEOs, Founders, Data Scientists and Engineers.

This one-day event gives exclusive access to case studies and insights on how the world’s leading companies like Just-Eat, OLX, Revuze, and Eagle Alpha, leverage web data to stay a step ahead of the industry.

  • Product and pricing intelligence: Aggregation and monitoring for real estate, travel, retail, e-commerce and manufactures
  • Alternative finance data: Inform investment decisions with real-time market information
  • Competitive and market research: Understand your competitor's pricing and performance
  • Sales & marketing: Monitor ratings, lead generation, reviews, social media and sentiment analysis
  • News & content monitoring: Aggregation of news and information from across the web
  • Retail & distribution monitoring: Supply chain management for your brand

Hear about the trends and innovations in the industry from leaders like Shane Evans, founder and CEO of Zyte , Or Lenchner, CEO of Luminati, and Andrew Fogg, founder and Chief Data Officer of Import.io, along with other pioneers like David Schroh, Amanda Towler and Juan Riaza.

Automate deployment of your web scraper on VPS with Ubuntu 24.04 cloud-init

Your VPS is ready, but now you need to work through the same sequence you have run a dozen times before: apt update, apt install python3-pip, pip install scrapy, playwright install chromium, the Chromium dependency list that never installs cleanly on the first try, Redis, possibly Postgres, whatever else this particular project needs.

NotAnInterview: “I Have Superpowers Now"

The problem was a project with 12,000 websites to crawl, and there’s no world where you write custom spiders for 12,000 websites, not with a human team and certainly not sustainably. So Javier built a workflow: a set of AI prompts that could analyze a website, figure out its structure, and generate a crawl configuration that a generic spider could then use.
