Data Acquisition - Indexing All That Matters

The more you know, and the faster you react, the bigger advantage you have against your competition. The Internet contains vast amount of information. With the help of a search engine, you can quickly locate what matters to you , such as a directory of your prospective customers, or the pricing information of your rivals. But what next?

Our custom web crawler, or "robot" as they call it, converts web pages into structured information. It injects the crawled data directly into your database, autonomously, continuously.

Web crawlers can save you tremendous amount of data entry work. They also help you keep an eye on what's going on outside of your organization. The best part about our crawlers is that they are integrated with your core management system, so that everyone is informed of the latest update.

Writing a custom crawler faces many challenges. Antradar has the expertise in decryption, reverse-engineering and browser emulation to squeeze every byte out of the targeted site. The issue of rate limiting when dealing with "big numbers" has also been resolved by means of sophisticated crawling networks.

The bottom line: if you can do it by hand, we can automate it for you.
