Hello, I would like to know what type of data you can scrape. For example, if a website requires you to be logged in to view the email, telephone number, or other data, can it be accessed? Or if it is necessary to click a button with Local scraper to view the telephone number, could that be done?

A: LocalScraper can not just scrape any website, we only scrape the sites that are listed as supported and they are considered public directories like Google Maps. The program doesn't have the ability to scrape data from websites that we don't support.
I just had my 24-hour trial. The results do not have a contact name - is there a way to add that? It is available in other scrapers, so I am not sure if I am missing a setting.
So far this is great. Thank you for the recommendation for the SmartProxy - they offer a discount if you ask! Rolling Residential proxy for 60GB is only $52 per month before any discount.
I was able to program hot keys and a scheduler to automate.
Any way that we could get a contact name from the data?

A: Sorry but there is no way to get contact names, there isn't a way to get them. As in that information isn't public somewhere in a structured format for us to be able to scrape.

A: Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The issue is only with McAfee, a scan of the file at VirusTotal reports 2/60 believe there is an issue with the program. I have contacted McAfee and reported the false positive so hopefully they will remove the notice about the program. There of course are no viruses in the program.
You are welcome to see the results of the scan at...

A: You emailed me twice about this and I replied back to you. HomeAdvisor was recently removed from the program because they killed their websites directory. Only paid businesses have any useful details, this means they say they have 800 listings for a search but only 10 could have data we can scrape. The other 790 are just the name of the business from their old directory but no way to see...
I’m getting ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED errors when the scraper tries to open Google Maps quick using an ISP proxy (whitelisted). The issue is not the program itself, but the proxy.
Please add instant Google Maps page reload on failure, since proxy fails seem unaviodable. Currently, the program skips that ZIP+keyword line as if no results appeared. (but when i search that ZIP it shows good...

A: This is more of a topic for emailing me for support than a pre-sale question but I'll answer here because AppSumo approved it.
Yes the program currently skips when the proxy fails to initialize the search. I'll add a relaunch system for this, personally it was easier for me to keep track of the failures and rerun them later but I can see the issue. Other scrapers like Yahoo or something where...
