Chat for Data: The No-Code Web Scraping Extension for Google Chrome

A powerful new Google Chrome extension is revolutionizing the way users can extract data from websites without writing a single line of code. Chat for Data, now available on the Google Chrome store, enables anyone to perform web scraping operations through simple prompts.

This innovative tool works by taking user prompts and converting them into actionable web scraping instructions. For instance, when conducting market research on ESP32 devices, users can simply instruct the extension to extract specific information like prices and product names from listings on a webpage.

The user experience is streamlined and intuitive. After entering a prompt, the extension asks clarifying questions to ensure it’s selecting the correct data elements. Users can confirm or modify the selection before proceeding with the extraction. The tool then provides a preview of the scraped information before completing the task.

Chat for Data can navigate through multiple pages of a website, allowing users to extract data from several pages at once. In our example, the extension successfully extracted data from three pages of ESP32 listings. Once the extraction is complete, users can export the collected information into Excel format, creating an organized spreadsheet with all the requested data points.

The pricing model is designed to be accessible, with one million free tokens provided upon sign-up to help users get started. After exhausting the initial allocation, the service costs just $1 per million tokens. Additionally, entering ‘data lumerus’ in the chat box grants users an extra 10 million tokens at no cost.

For those interested in leveraging this powerful data extraction tool, simply visit the Google Chrome store and search for ‘Chat for Data’ to install the extension.
