How does the data subscription work and how is it priced?

Umang Gupta | January 5, 2023
Customers with recurring data needs are priced monthly in arrears. There is an initial one-time set up fee. Customers are either billed a flat monthly fee or based on metered usage. The latter is reserved for high volume projects. Other billable fees for consulting and technical support are agreed in advance before they’re added to your invoice.

Is web scraping legal?

Umang Gupta | January 5, 2023
Scraping publicly available data is perfectly legal so long 1) it does not violate the source site’s terms of service, 2) data is not copyrighted, and 3) data does not contain Personally Identifiable Information (or PII). Fair to say, this is a contested and misunderstood topic. You can read more about the legalities of web scraping in our blog here. (more)

It’s hard to put an exact timeframe on our lead time as it strictly depends on the data requirements such as number of sources and complexity. Our customers value us for quick turnaround and, on average, a typical project is completed in days not weeks.
We set a clear expectation of timeline beforehand and aim to get the initial sample ready within a couple of days. (more)

Can you scrape images as files?

Umang Gupta | January 5, 2023
Yes! Our web crawlers can scrape images in the form of either URLs or files. Scraping as files requires extra effort and, as a result, will incur an additional charge. The image files will be zipped and emailed/synced with the rest of your data.

How does Grepsr ensure quality data?

Umang Gupta | January 5, 2023
We’ve built several quality controls - both platform-based and using humans in the loop — to meet quality standards.
Platform-based controls
1. Notification triggers in the crawler that executes during run-time to identify chokes, failures during crawler execution. System monitors to arrest system-wide errors
2. Define data schema to set acceptable formats. Anomaly detection using historical data
3. Quality and operational dashboards to monitor project health. Custom reporting for key accounts to analyze key metrics
Quality experts
1. Validate initial setup with customer consultation to ensure quality compliance
2. Manually QA a randomized sample set per SLA terms
3. Proactive communication and resolution (<24 hour unless wholesale changes on source) (more)
