What is Crawly?

Crawly is a web scraping tool built by Diffbot that lets you extract, filter, and search structured data from websites at scale. Rather than building custom scrapers for each site, Crawly provides a visual interface to define what data you want to capture, then applies those rules across multiple websites. It handles the technical complexities of web scraping, including JavaScript rendering and data extraction, so you can focus on the data itself. The tool is useful for researchers, analysts, and business teams who need to gather information from public web sources without writing code.
