I'm curious whether any popular AI tools can effectively perform web scraping to gather business contacts and other information for marketing use. Does anyone have experience or recommendations?

I've played around with a few scrapers today, and honestly, they all felt a bit cumbersome to work with. It can be quite a hassle!
I'm actually building scrapers as a side project without any coding background. Just experimenting with it, and it's working out! I used an open-source Python tool called Scrapy. It's pretty manageable if you're willing to dive in.
While AI tools might not do the scraping directly, they can definitely guide you through the process, which is pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. If you're looking to skip the learning curve, check out Diffbot; it might be what you need!
Thanks, I'll look into it!
Is that your recommendation? Seems like plenty of free tools exist, but setting them up can be quite a pain!
