What Can You Do With This Plugin?

Crawlomatic Multisite Scraper Post Generator Plugin for WordPress is a breaking edge website crawling and scraping, post generator autoblogging plugin that uses website crawling and scraping to turn your website into a autoblogging or even a money making machine!
Get content from almost any webpage! You no longer need API’s which requires registration and provides limited access, also you can retrieve data from non API providing websites. Schedule it for once and let it autopilot your posts 7/24 for you like a master!

How does it work?

This plugin will crawl the seed URL you give it (crawling means that it will search all links that the webpage contains) and will visit and extract content from each crawled URL. The crawling process is customizable: you can set the crawling depth, crawling rate, maximum crawled article count, crawl only links with specific class or ID and many more customizations.

Crawlomatic v2.0 update

In the v2.0 update, a new live scraper shortcode was added to the plugin: [crawlomatic-scraper]. This new feature makes this plugin an easy to implement web data extractor for WordPress. As a result, it can be used to display real-time data from any websites directly into your posts, pages or sidebar. It also temporarily caches the scraped content, so your website will not over use on resources. You can use this plugin to include real-time stock quotes, cricket or soccer scores or any other generic content from public domains!

New features included in this update:

• Scraped output can be displayed through custom template tag, shortcode in page, post and sidebar (through a text widget).
• Configurable caching of scraped data. Cache timeout can be defined in minutes for every scraped data.
• Configurable Useragent for your scraper can be set for every scrape.
• Configurable default settings like enabling, useragent, timeout, caching, error handling.
• Multiple ways to query content – CSS Selector, XPath or Regex, Auto Detection.
• A wide range of arguments for parsing content.
• Option to pass post arguments to a URL to be scraped.
• Dynamic conversion of scraped content to specified character encoding to scrape data from a site using different charset.
• Create scraped pages on the fly using dynamic generation of URLs to scrape or post arguments based on your page’s get or post arguments.
• Callback function for advanced parsing of scraped data.

Check the official documentation of the v2 update, browse through examples and check FAQ for crafting a perfectly optimized web scraper.
