Web Scraping & Data Extraction

Web scraping and data extraction that delivers clean, usable records.

Structured collection and monitoring of accessible public or licensed data, for teams in Malaysia and beyond.

We build data extraction pipelines that collect the fields you need from permitted sources, normalise and de-duplicate them, and deliver them as a dataset, a scheduled feed or straight into your systems. Each source is assessed for its terms, access rules and feasibility first.

  • Sources assessed before collection
  • Source kept against each record
  • One-off or scheduled refresh

No upfront consultation fee. Free discovery and a free tailored proposal.

The challenge

Research that's manual, slow and stale.

Teams copy data from websites by hand, from scattered sources in different formats, and the list is out of date before it's finished.

What we build

Data collection, scoped and permitted.

We treat collection, cleaning, refresh and delivery as separate parts of the scope, so you only build what you need.

01

Directory extraction

Listings from public directories, association member lists and marketplaces, collected into the fields you agree.

02

Company research

Profiles built from company websites and public announcements, with each detail linked to the page it came from.

03

Product and price monitoring

Product pages checked as often as the source permits, with price, stock and promotion changes detected between runs.

04

Data enrichment

Records filled in from other permitted sources, with gaps marked as missing rather than guessed.

05

Scheduled refresh

Runs on a schedule, with request rates kept within each site's limits. Empty or unusual results are flagged, not saved.

06

De-duplication and export

Duplicates merged across sources, then delivered as CSV or JSON, or written to a sheet, database or CRM.

How public data becomes a dataset.

Rules control which sources are read, how often and how fast. AI helps only where reading or matching needs judgement, and people check what gets used.

Where the data goes

From permitted sources to your systems.

A dataset is only useful where your team works with it. We deliver clean records to the tools that use them.

Permitted sources
  • Public directories
  • Company websites
  • Official APIs
Files and sheets
  • Google Sheets
  • Airtable
  • CSV and JSON
Your data pipelineCollection, cleaning and checks
Databases
  • PostgreSQL
  • MySQL
  • Google BigQuery
  • Snowflake
CRM and alerts
  • HubSpot
  • Slack

What we can collect depends on each source's terms, access rules and any licence. Where a source offers an official API or licensed feed, we prefer it.

Responsible collection

Collection that respects the source.

Not every website can or should be scraped. We assess each source before building and tell you if a use case looks risky.

Terms and licences checked
We review each source's terms, robots directives and data licence, and prefer official APIs or licensed data where they exist.
No bypassing restrictions
We don't build around logins, CAPTCHAs, paywalls or blocks designed to stop automated access. Logged-in areas only where you have the right to use them.
Rate limits respected
Request rates are kept within each site's limits, so collection doesn't burden the source.
Personal data and PDPA
Contact data needs a lawful basis under Malaysia's PDPA and other applicable law for how you plan to use it. Data handling, AI providers and hosting are confirmed per project.
Data quality

Every record shows where it came from.

A dataset is only useful if you know how far to trust it, so each record carries its own quality signals.

Source attribution

The page or feed behind each record and its collection date are stored, so any detail can be traced back.

Validation and completeness

Fields are checked against agreed formats. Missing values are marked as missing, not filled with guesses.

Confidence and freshness

Matches and merges carry a confidence flag, and each record shows when it was last refreshed.

Collected data reflects what each source published at the time. Records are not independently verified unless verification is part of the agreed scope.

How we work

From a source check to a reliable feed.

  1. 01

    Source assessment

    We review each source's terms, access rules and structure, and suggest alternatives where needed.

  2. 02

    Field and quality design

    We agree the fields, formats, refresh frequency and the quality checks for each run.

  3. 03

    Sample run

    We collect a sample dataset so you can check coverage and accuracy before the full build.

  4. 04

    Delivery and monitoring

    We deliver the dataset or schedule the pipeline, with alerts when a source changes.

Every project has an agreed scope and acceptance criteria before the build starts.

Project scope

Scoped around the data you need.

Every data project is different, so we scope yours around the sources, fields and delivery involved. These factors shape it.

Number of sources
One directory, or many sites, each with its own structure and pagination.
Source access
Open pages are quicker. Strict terms may mean an official API or licensed data.
Volume and frequency
A one-off pull, or scheduled monitoring that runs daily or weekly.
Delivery option
One-off dataset, recurring pipeline, API or database integration, or dashboard.
Quality checks
Basic de-duplication, or enrichment, confidence flags and manual checks.
Maintenance
Optional upkeep when sources change. Licensed data or API fees are separate.
FAQ

Web scraping questions.

Straight answers about scope, data, ownership and support. Can’t find yours? Ask us directly below.

Can every website be scraped, including pages behind a login?

No. Some sites prohibit automated access in their terms, block it technically, or hold data that needs a licence or a lawful basis to use. Logged-in areas are an option only where you have the right to access them and the terms allow it. We don't build around logins, CAPTCHAs or blocks designed to stop automation. Where a source isn't suitable, we suggest an official API, a licensed data provider or an alternative source.

What kinds of websites and data can you scrape?

Publicly accessible sources where collection is permitted, such as business directories, e-commerce catalogues and prices, marketplaces, property portals, review sites, job boards and company websites. We extract structured fields such as names, categories, prices, stock, ratings and addresses, and can render JavaScript-heavy pages, paginate and follow links. Each source gets a check of its terms, data licence, privacy and technical feasibility first.

Is web scraping legal, and do you scrape ethically?

It depends on the source, the data and how it is used, so we review each use case. We focus on publicly available data, check robots.txt and each site's terms, avoid personal data you have no lawful basis to collect under the PDPA and other applicable law, and throttle requests so we don't overload a site. Where an official API exists we prefer it. If a use case looks legally risky, we tell you before building and may recommend legal or contractual review.

How accurate is the extracted data?

As accurate as the source and the checks allow. Each record keeps its source and collection date, fields are validated against agreed formats, and missing values are marked rather than guessed. Collected data reflects what the source published at the time, so it isn't verified unless verification is in scope. We agree accuracy and completeness criteria before the build.

Can you collect business listings and lead data?

Sometimes, depending on the source. Many platforms, including Google Maps, restrict scraping in their terms, so we check terms, official APIs such as Google Places, data licences and privacy rules first. Where collection is permitted, we extract business names, categories, addresses, websites and ratings across a location or niche, then de-duplicate them into your sheet, database or CRM. Contact data needs a lawful basis for how you plan to use it.

How often can scrapers run, and can they monitor prices in near real time?

As often as the use case needs and the source permits, from hourly price and stock checks to daily or weekly directory sweeps. For price and product monitoring we detect changes between runs and can send alerts or feed a dashboard, so you see competitor moves without checking sites by hand.

Where does the extracted data land: sheets, a database or our CRM?

Wherever it's most useful to you. We can deliver CSV or JSON files, write clean, de-duplicated records to Google Sheets or Airtable, load them into PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery or Snowflake for analysis, or push them into a CRM such as HubSpot. For reporting on top, see our dashboard development service.

How do you keep scrapers running when a website changes its layout?

Sites change, and scrapers break, so we build in checks that flag a run returning no data or unexpected fields, and hold it instead of overwriting good records. With a maintenance plan, we update the scraper when a site is redesigned. Without one, the alerts and documentation help your team fix it, so you're not left with silent gaps in your data.

Do we own the scrapers and data, and do you work with businesses outside Malaysia?

You own the bespoke scrapers and documentation built for your project under our agreement, and the delivered data is yours to use within each source's terms and licence. Framworq keeps its pre-existing tools and reusable components, with the rights your team needs to use the system. Any licensed data or API fees sit with you. We're based in Kuala Lumpur and work with clients across Malaysia and abroad, remotely.
