Iron WebScraper - The C# Web Scraping Library

Iron WebScraper is a C# web-scraper library, allowing developers to automate & simulate human browsing behavior to extract content, files & images from web applications as native .Net objects.

Iron Web Scraper manages politeness & multithreading in the background, leaving a developer’s own application easy to understand & maintain.

Key Library Features :

Iron Web Scraper can be used to migrate content from existing websites as well as build search indexes and monitor website structure & content changes. It's functionality includes:

  • Read & extract structured content from web pages using html DOM, Javascript, Xpath, jQuery Style CSS Selectors.
  • Fast multi threading allows hundreds of simultaneous requests.
  • Politely avoid over stalling remote servers using IP/domain level throttling & optionally respecting robots.txt
  • Manage multiple identities, DNS, proxies, user agents, request methods, custom headers, cookies & logins.
  • Data exported from websites becomes native C# objects which can be stored or used immediately.
  • Exceptions managed in all but the developers own code. Errors and captchas auto retried on failure
  • Save, pause, resume, autosave scrape jobs.
  • Built in web cache allows for action replay, crash recovery, and querying existing web scrape data. Change scrape logic on the fly, then replay job without internet traffic.
