E-commerce scraping tool / software - advice please

[tertius]

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced easy to use scraping software for E-commerce sites. I've used botster.io for a shopify site (with good result) and trying to find one for other platforms..... collecting pricing data from competitors' sites of course ;-)
Also how can you determine what platform the site is running on

So it should try to look up your products, find the equivalent one, and put the results in a spreadsheet or someting? Or a report showing where they are a certain percentage cheaper?

That's it exactly. I need a steer on setting pricing and figured this would be easiest that search each one individually .
As i said I've done it very successfully on a Shopify site, but the one I'm looking at isn't shopify and I can't quite figure out what platform it is

On Google Chrome have you tried using the extension 'wappalyzer'.

You can go on a website and see what it's running on.

A quick look at the code often reveals the platform being used.

As to scraping, it’s often cheaper to pay someone to do it for you. Worked for a client who paid under $100 to scrape about 3gb of data.

If timing is not an issue , RPA tools would be a good choice and it could do a lot more than just scraping
