Custom parser development: individual solutions for business tasks

Title Banner Image

In the conditions of rapid growth of information volumes, operational and accurate data analysis directly affects the success of the business. Companies are forced to process huge amounts of information from dozens of sources (competitors’ websites, marketplaces, bulletin boards, social networks, internal databases, etc.) every day. Manual collection of the necessary materials takes a lot of time and human resources, which carries the risk of errors, slows down and complicates the adoption of critical decisions.

Developing parsers for websites, telegram channels and chats, as well as for other sources, is an effective way to automate the search and structuring of the necessary information. Such an IT solution saves time, money and reduces the workload on staff, significantly accelerating the pace and accuracy of data extraction, including exclusive ones. Moreover, it allows you to do it faster than competitors, which carries a strategic advantage.

The AVADA MEDIA team has been creating diverse products for parsing for many years. We develop software for websites, forums, video hosting. Our parsers effectively solve tasks of any complexity and specificity thanks to customization for a specific business and resources, which makes them a truly effective tool for each of our clients.

What is a parser

Parsers are software designed to automatically collect and process information from Internet sources. These tools provide quick analysis, compilation, structuring and filtering of necessary information in real time, eliminating the need to perform these actions manually.

Such systems are used to extract data from websites, marketplaces, social networks, news portals, internal corporate databases, instant messengers, video hosting, forums, maps, directories, bulletin boards.

The principle of operation of the parser: the program accesses the source, collects and processes the specified information according to the prescribed algorithm, saves the result in the desired format – a table, database or CRM system, which we can also create for the individual needs of your project. The tool is able to work with several sources simultaneously, which ensures fast, accurate and scalable processing of large and very large volumes of information.

Tasks solved by parsers:

  • collecting almost any type of information (contacts, characteristics, photos, descriptions, metadata, discounts, promotions, comments, number of likes, reviews about the brand, etc.);
  • automatic filling of online stores, news portals;
  • tracking and analysis of competitors (keywords, prices, assortment, descriptions, sales volumes, etc.);
  • extracting content by keywords – information parsers from sites with updates allow you to aggregate news, articles, reviews, videos, photos, etc., and create catalogs;
  • creating aggregators based on information from various sources, including social networks, marketplaces, etc.;
  • compiling selections of resumes, vacancies, compiling ratings, databases, etc.;
  • researching markets and niches, tracking the dynamics of changes in prices, trends, assortment, number of orders, etc.

What formats are available for collection: text blocks, images, videos, animations, tables, any files.

In essence, the parser will quickly collect data from the sites you are interested in. Quickly and accurately. This tool can be programmed to bypass restrictions, regularly monitor updates on target pages and channels. It is able to:

  • run on demand/on a schedule or script and respond to specific events;
  • work in several threads in parallel;
  • upload the collected information to other systems or immediately to the site in the desired format;
  • work correctly with modern sites, including resources with dynamic data loading (JavaScript);
  • connect integration with authorization and captcha recognition services if necessary;
  • use distributed proxies to balance the load and ensure stability of work;
  • hide your IP address from the target site using proxy servers;
  • perform any actions on given sites (fill out forms, click on various elements);
  • parse pages generated in JavaScript, simulating the browser’s operation.

Additionally, our specialists, upon request, implement other functionality in the parser according to a custom script created for specific tasks.

Parsers

Advantages of ordering custom individual parsers

A data collector, developed individually, takes into account the needs, specifics and information context of the project as much as possible:

  • exact correspondence to business objectives;
  • scalability and adaptability;
  • integration with internal corporate systems;
  • settings for optimal speed and quality of information collection;
  • adaptation to the technical features of sources, including working with dynamic content, non-standard page structure and various methods of protection against bots;
  • support and maintenance;
  • security, compliance with legislation and copyright.

A custom-made parser is a reliable and effective tool. Unlike typical solutions, custom software is created for the unique requirements and features of the company’s work, niche, audience, formats and data sources. Such a product easily and quickly adapts to changing tasks or business scales. That is, it is much more effective than universal services.

Software solutions significantly simplify, accelerate and increase the accuracy of data collection. Automation and integration of software with corporate systems increases productivity, reduces employee labor costs, accelerating the receipt of the desired result and reducing the risk of errors due to manual input or the human factor (for example, subjectivity of assessment, lack of competence, etc.).

Tools of this type give the desired result more accurately, faster, and also provide access to a larger number of sources, including closed ones, with the ability to update and update data.

And individual development of data parsers makes it possible to integrate the product with non-standard sources and formats, complex structures and systems that are problematic, and sometimes impossible, to process manually or through ready-made solutions. Such software provides the company not only with prompt access to critical information, but also with a strategic advantage due to more accurate, in-depth, and timely market analysis.

Stages of developing custom data parsers

Creating custom software for collecting and processing information is a multi-stage process that we build taking into account the individual goals and requirements of the client. This approach ensures high quality of the solution, its reliability and full compliance with business tasks:

  1. Analysis of the specifics of the task. We determine the goals of parsing, software functionality, technical requirements, format, source characteristics, data volumes, potential risks, etc. We select a stack of tools, draw up technical specifications.
  2. Architecture design. We develop the structure of the tool, the logic of collecting, filtering, sorting and storing data, form an integration plan with the customer’s systems (if necessary).
  3. Development and testing. After agreement with the client, we implement the software product according to the specified requirements. Then we conduct multi-level manual and automatic checks for stability, correctness of operation and resistance to changes in data sources, etc.
  4. Integration. We implement and configure the parser to work with CRM, ERP, analytical platforms, data warehouses and other services.
  5. Release and support. We launch the software, transfer documentation, instruct the customer’s team on the operation and administration of the tool. By agreement, we provide post-release support, product refinement and adaptation, and functionality expansion (as needed).

A structured approach is a guarantee that the customer receives a ready-to-use product, fully optimized for their business processes, tasks and other project features.

Technologies and tools: what our developers write parsers on
