for Bugs

The plugin is easy to install and set up. However, it has issues when running via cron. I regularly check a list of URLs, and if one of the URLs experiences a temporary outage, the plugin stops working. I then have to stop the job, reset it, and restart it. The "reset after execution" option is enabled, but it doesn't help. A smarter option would be "reset before execution," but that doesn't exist. WP-Cron is disabled, the cron job is triggered server-side, and there is sufficient memory available.

It would be great if the developer could resolve this issue in the near future. If that happens, I'll gladly give it five stars.

Excellent product, I highly recommend it.

I had a small problem with the initial setup, I requested technical support assistance and they gave me just the help I needed.

for Customer Support

Very happy, above all, with the technical support, despite the fact that the year had passed, it has helped me in some important occasion for me.

The plugin is very good, you have to know that it has limitations, but it complies VERY WELL with what you are looking for, and it is very customizable, at first it is a bit difficult to understand all the functions well but from support they help you and you get the most out of it.

for Design Quality

I have tried many scraper plugins before. and by far this is the cleanest in design (admin) and usability.
offers both cron jobs and wp action scheduler scraping.
and gives shortcode for each scrape making it super versatile.
don't know about support, since i've never had to contact support. it just works as it should

GREAT PLUGIN GUYS. LOVE IT

Author response

Thank you! Greatly appreciate the support :)

for Feature Availability

Tried a few plugins, and this was the only one that actually allowed me to scrape a site properly while posting the data to a custom post type. Some sites are difficult to scrape (due how some websites are coded), but after a few recommendations I got from the owner himself, I managed to do it. As a suggestion, the developer should work on an better onboarding for first time users.

for Code Quality

It has a small learning curve, but once you get used to where’s everything it becomes a powerful plugin. I tried scraping a difficult site with another plugin and wasn’t able to do so, but followed customer support advice and after adjusting cookies properly and enabling Ajax feature I was able to scrape it properly.

for Customer Support

I was working with a customer that needed to scrape a difficult site that had Ajax. It was a challenging project, but reached out to support and they helped me tweak the plugin configuration to scrape this site and set a task that runs on a daily schedule. Kudos!

Author response

Glad we were able to help you Martin :)

for Bugs

Don't waste your money on this plugin. It simply does not work and the support just tells you they look into it but you will neither receive any feedback nor any solution for your problems. Instead they just charge a fee for additional features and you can't cancel it or receive any invoice.

This plugin is not worth any money! No recommendation at all!
