Fishing for information

Make the most of publicly available business information

Is there information freely available on the web that would be valuable to your business if you had it at your fingertips? Do you know where to find it, but can't justify the expense of having someone read and type hundreds, thousands, or maybe tens of thousands of snippets of information? If so, just ask Daybook. We'll automate the process of extracting the information on your behalf and give it to you in database-ready form at an affordable price.



A simple example might be to generate a list of exhibitors at an event, complete with telephone, address, contact information and keywords.

We will set our system up to act like a spider, trawling pages, reading links, getting the next ones etc, and going even further than that, if necessary There is nothing wrong in reading published web pages and extracting selected information from them. It is all publicly available on the web.

Each project is different, in terms of how we extract the data and the format in which we deliver it to you, to be read into your own systems. We have many routines for extracting address lines into correct fields, and so on. The clever and difficult bit is not the trawling for information, so much as how you sift through it so that it can be presented in a genuinely useful form.
