Declarative web scraping right in your browser
PageSieve is a browser extension designed for declarative web scraping. It lets you define field names and use CSS or XPath selectors to extract structured data from any website you visit, directly within your browser. The tool avoids the need to write complex scraping scripts, making it accessible to users who need quick, repeatable data extraction without leaving their current tab.
Easily discover the CSS selectors for any element on the page by clicking on it, eliminating the need to manually inspect the DOM.
The extension operates from a compact sidebar, allowing you to define fields and selectors without navigating away from the webpage you are scraping.
All scraping is performed entirely within your browser, so no data leaves your device and no external servers are involved.
Save your scrape configurations as JSON files and reuse them on the same or different pages, or share them with others.
