Enabling data collection with no-code automation tools
Many traditional websites do not provide API interfaces due to technical constraints or operational costs, and manual data collection is extremely inefficient and error-prone.CopyCat perfectly solves this pain point by intelligently simulating manual operation:
- Using the Screen Recording Conversion Function: Manually operate the complete data collection process once (e.g., page flip, click, copy operation), and the system will automatically generate a repeatable script.
- Combined with intelligent element location technologyAdopting Xpath+Visual Recognition Dual Engine to accurately locate the target data even when the structure of the web page is fine-tuned.
- Setting up timed tasks: Configure daily/weekly auto-runs in the dashboard and data will be exported to local or cloud in a preset format (CSV/JSON)
Real estate industry case: an agent used this method to automatically collect 2,000+ pieces of land registration information, increasing efficiency by 40 times and achieving a data accuracy rate of 100%.
