Scraping tools are either code-only or expensive SaaS. FlowScrape sits in between: build a scraper step by step in the browser, then let it run on a schedule.
- Visual selector picker: click elements on a live preview of the page instead of writing selectors
- Step templates: presets for common flows: log in then scrape, paginated lists, search and extract
- Scheduling: cron-based runs with a job queue
- Run history and change detection: see what changed since the last run, with notifications
- Conditions and transforms between steps, and exports of the results
- Proxy rotation and stealth settings for sites that block headless browsers
Express and TypeScript on the server with Playwright doing the browsing; React, Vite, Tailwind and shadcn/ui on the client; SQLite through Drizzle ORM.
