DataPick: Click-to-Extract Web Data Without Writing Scraper Code

DataPick is a Chrome extension that lets you extract structured data from web pages by clicking on the elements you want, without writing any code. The Core Concept: Visual Selection Traditional scraping: inspect HTML, identify CSS selectors, write code, handle edge cases. DataPick's approach: click on the elements you want, and the extension identifies the selector pattern. Click three product prices in a list, and DataPick extracts all prices on the page. "Show me what you want" rather than "describe it in code." Use Cases Price monitoring Research aggregation Content auditing (headings, links, metadata) Lead generation from directories Competitive analysis How It Works Selection mode — Hover highlights elements, click selects Pattern detection — Analyzes selected element's DOM position, finds siblings with same structure Extraction — User confirms preview, extension collects all matching elements Export — Copy as CSV or JSON, or download directly.
