Hi everyone,
I've got a client wants to scrape some data and put it into Salesforce.
I’ve got very little experience with scrapers. Anyone have a preferred app for this and any good howto guides?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Folks, just to let you know - I split
Hi
In this case the client wanted to scrape LinkedIn profiles, although we found them another solution using this tool:
Dux-Soup Previously I had a prospect that wanted to try developing a service where he'd help businesses appeal to have unfairly negative reviews removed from their Yelp listings. He wanted to dump a load of URLs of business profiles into a Google Sheet have Zapier trigger something to parse the reviews and then push them through a sentiment analysing app to look for keywords and pickout negative ones. I played around with Apify a bit in anticipation of that project but the client ended up dropping it before any real work started.
Would have been a fun one though.
I've used import.io in the past, and used it to grab quite a bit of data. It wasn't perfect, but after a few rounds of tinkering with the settings, I got something satisfactory enough that the data cleanup process wasn't too painful.
I can't recall which others I tried before getting import.io to work, but I don't believe it was Parsehub. I really like Apify's "turn anything into an API" approach, but I've not tested it.
Out of curiosity, what sort of data is it you need to scrape? That might make a big difference in which app to go with. (Also: I'm guessing you've probably moved forward by now, so any update on which you chose and why would be interesting if you're game to share!)
