GrabzIt can be used to capture web pages and HTML. The data in web pages as well as the metadata about web pages!!
To do this we created a Screenshot Tool and Capture API that can convert any URL or HTML snippet into a image, rendered HTML, DOCX or PDF document. Services were also provided to convert online videos into animated GIF’s and to extract and convert HTML tables from web pages into a useful data format. To make this functionality even easier to use we created a series of plugins that can be easily added to blogs and websites with little or no coding knowledge.
Our Screenshot Tool can also be used for Web Archiving and to verify what a web page looked at a particular point in time using a time stamp server and file signatures.
Next, GrabzIt’s Web Scraper was created to make it possible to extract data and files from the web pages and PDF documents and transform it into a easy to use format such as a CSV or Database Export. The Web Scraper follow links in the web page like a normal user, however it uses multiple browser instances and IP addresses to speed up the web scraping process.
As our Web Scraper is integrated with our capture technology it can be used to crawl a website and convert every visited web page into a PDF or image for example. Additionally an API was added to the Web Scraper to allow it to be controlled by third party applications and to enable the integration of scrape results directly into an app.
Finally, we have made it possible to analyse the performance of websites and monitor this performance over time.

BrowserCat's answer
BrowserCat is built on robust open source technology that's under active development. The star of the show is Playwright, which is our recommended automation library. It's maintained by Microsoft, it officially supports JS, Python, Java, and .NET, and it's fast becoming the industry standard. BrowserCat also supports Puppeteer and numerous unofficial Playwright ports to Go, Rust, PHP, and Ruby.

BrowserCat's answer
In previous corporate and startup gigs, I faced the challenge of developing robust, fast, and scalable browser automation. Most APIs in the space are too limiting for our needs and they were often incredibly slow. On the other hand, hosting your own headless browser fleet was a pain. I founded BrowserCat to make scaling up browser automation as easy, reliable, and affordable as deploying a serverless function.
BrowserCat's answer
We primarily serve developers, whether the seek to develop unique browser automation jobs or radically improve the performance of their integration tests. However, we frequently work with management, biz ops, and product leaders to solve problems they can't solve any way but through automation.
BrowserCat's answer
BrowserCat is built for performance, scalability, stability, and affordability using modern web technologies. Many of our competitors were early to market and compete on entrenchment rather than functionality. Still others are bound by their existing users to continue supporting legacy tech, rather than embrace improved, modern standards. BrowserCat is focused on supporting your for the next ten years, rather than the past ten years.
