Frequently Asked Questions
	What is data mining Information drives today's businesses and the Internet is a powerhouse of information. Most businesses rely on the web to gather data that is crucial to their decision making processes. Companies regularly assimilate and analyze product specifications, pricing information, market trends and regulatory information from various websites and, when performed manually, this is often a time consuming, error-prone process. Web data mining is the process of extracting structured information from unstructured or semi-structured web data sources. With help of web data mining you can connect to a website's web pages and request any information or pages, exactly as a your browser would do. The web server will send back the html web page which you can then extract specific information from those web pages. Basically, it is a process of looking through data to find answers.	How frequently can I get the data The frequency large depends upon the size of data that you need, if your target website has say 100,000 or 200,000 records, we can give you this data twice every week. For our monthly data extraction contracts, we monitor the scripts and ensure that they are running continuously without any issues. If the underlying websites make any changes in the markup which causes problems for the scraping scripts, we correct the scripts as soon as possible (there is no separate cost for this maintenance work and is included in the monthly cost). We also provide you live reporting at an interval mentioned by you with progress of data collection.
	What are the benefits Data mining is to gain knowledge and to support processes that improve decision making. Data mining tools predict future trends and behaviors, allowing businesses to make proactive, knowledge-driven decisions. Companies use web data mining as a tool to gather data from different websites and collate it together to do analysis, build websites which provide information from different websites. It helps the visitors to get a lot of information in one location instead of reading information from different websites. Companies use this service to see what kind of information is floating in the World Wide Web for their products or services and take actions based on the data presented. Some Examples: • We help extract competitor's price list regularly for you to stay ahead of the competition. • We extract web data that you can transfer it to your database • Daily extract updated information for a list of mutual funds • Monitor the opening and closing prices of your stock portfolio and email them • We extract people data from web so that you can transfer it to a database.	How can I be assured about clean data When we first start data mining from new websites, the data that gets out is not 100% correct the first time (but this data is not shipped out to our clients). The process has to be tuned as we find different combinations regularly. We have a process of validating data in place, where we randomly select data from the output and cross check the same on the parent website. This way we continuously improve the quality of data that gets extracted.
	How much does it cost The cost will depend on the complexity of the website, number of websites targeted and the amount of data required. It is split into two components: One component deals with the development part and the other with data collection. You can fill in the details in our request a free quote form to get an idea of price. From our vast experience of building scrapers for all sorts of websites; we now have a matured extraction library which can deliver huge amounts of data at a very nominal cost. Prices are discounted when ordering multiple scrapes.	What technology do you use We work primarily on .Net for all web page screen scraping or data mining projects.
	What factors can bring up costs These are some main factors that make a job more difficult, and therefore more expensive: • Restrictions on the number of page views per IP addresses • Inconsistently structured data • Obfuscated data that needs to be decoded • Data dynamically loaded with Javascript • Data embedded in Flash • When there is a huge quantity of data	How can I get started Just complete the contact form and we will respond within one business day with a quote or some follow up questions to clarify the project. We will need from you: • List of websites: Send us the list of websites from which you need to extract content. • Format of output: Tell us the data elements you need to extract and the format for the output • Frequency of updates: Let us know what frequency you need to refresh content: Should the updates be one time, daily, weekly, or monthly?
	What data can be extracted Any data from any website or that you see in your browser can be extracted. It can be text, images or any information that you need. The data can be for any sector or industry. For example: • Real Estate - Building a search engine for real estate listings. Using our Data Mining service, you can transform real estate listings from any website into your aggregated data-store. Extract Real Estate Property information and keep your database up-to-date. • Ecommerce - Building a comparison-shopping engine. We help you with up-to-date pricing, product availability and promotion led information from online retailers. • Travel - Collect the time-share listings, details of holiday locations and other online travel agent listings from various online forums. • Entertainment – get local events from every calendar, venue, and local website. If you have a music and entertainment portal, we can get you music events. • Food and Dining - Let's say you are in a restaurant business and you want to regularly find out all the restaurant businesses in your area or building a shopping guide for the health conscious, nutrition facts for food products and more. • Education - Track the latest schemes and opportunities from online websites or list of education institutes around the world. • MET department - Let's say you want to present the progression of weather system over a period of time. Get updated web images of weather maps at regular intervals.	What is the mode of payment You may make payment using Pay Pal or direct bank transfer. For new clients we will ask for a 50% deposit to get started.
	In what format can I get data We help you extract data from various websites such as online stores, online auctions, shopping sites, real estate sites, financial sites, business directories, and etc. in the format that you wish. The extracted data can be exported to a variety of formats, including Microsoft Excel (CSV), Access, TXT, HTML, XML, SQL script, MySQL script and to any ODBC data source. This variety of export formats allows you to process and analyze data in your customary format.
	How long does it take A simple website can be extracted within a week while a larger one will take several weeks to download all the required data. We can run an instance of a scraper script which can easily download about 5, 00,000 records from a website in a week. In general, If the website is relatively small, well structured, and the data is embedded cleanly in the HTML a script will take about 4-6 days to setup and data will reach you in the frequency you want. When we have received your project details we will give you an estimation of the time required.
