Mar 25, 2025A: SCRAPING 5,000 WEBPAGES MONTHLY? LET’S GET INTO THE DETAILS!
Hello matteo77,
This is a great question, but the answer depends on several factors, such as the complexity of the webpages, the type of data being scraped, and the transformations applied to the data. Let me break it down for you.
BENCHMARKING EXAMPLE
From our internal benchmarks, a single core in NoCode-X can handle up to 100,000 webpages per month under optimal conditions. This means scraping 5,000 pages monthly would likely consume only a fraction of your available CPU minutes. However, the actual usage depends on the content of the pages. For example, plain text requires far fewer resources compared to pages with images, videos, or heavy scripts.
CPU minutes are primarily used for processing and transforming the data you scrape. If your scraper includes additional logic, such as filtering, enriching, or analyzing the data, this will also impact CPU usage.
WHY TESTING IS IMPORTANT
The best way to get an accurate estimate for your specific use case is to run a small-scale test. This will allow you to measure the actual CPU and bandwidth consumption for your target webpages. Without testing, any estimate would be a generalization and might not reflect your real-world scenario.
