Scraping: data as table
Collect company lists from Google Maps, website content and more in structured form.
Scraping fetches data from outside and saves it as a table — companies in an industry in a city, products in a category, posts from a site. This runs through Apify, a service for exactly these kinds of collectors.
- 1
Activation
Scraping is a feature for company accounts and must be activated per person. If the item is missing under ’More’, ask your admin.
- 2
Describe task
Under ’More’, switch on scraping and write the task: ’All tax advisers in Augsburg with address, phone and website.’ The studio selects the appropriate collector, such as Google Maps.

Confirm costs
Before running, the studio shows a cost estimate and asks. The admin sets a cap per run where the run stops hard.

Use result
The data comes as a table in the chat and as a CSV file for download. You can ask directly: ’Sort by rating’ or ’Write an approach email for each company.’
Tips
- Legally: public company data for your own research is fine, mass emails to the addresses need a legal basis. Be careful with personal data.
- Fetch large lists in stages — 100 entries are checked faster and more cheaply than 1,000.
Cost: Depending on scope, a few cents to a few euros, always with estimate upfront and cap.
