it inside a place for my client to fill in,

But as it is a kind of system, I would like this worksheet to be replicated within each login and have a "prettier" front

A: I just helped a user use the extension with ZoomInfo. I can share a script specifically for ZoomInfo data extraction with you if you reach out after you purchase.

Out of the box, Table Capture was able to get the data in the main search results tables, but a lot of ZoomInfo data is in the table's expanded state, which Table Capture wasn't able to cleanly capture. (The script operates on the requests themselves and works pretty well.)

I'm not sure about Apollo, but AppSumo will refund your purchase if it doesn't work. Also, you could reach out to me to setup a Zoom to try together with a trial license.

Q: Can you please confirm whether Table Capture will work in my use case - In the prospective website there is ...

70,000 rows, each page has 10 rows which becomes 7,000 pages, I have tried your free chrome extension it is reading the table correctly. but with the Pro version, will it be able to copy all 70k rows in a single file.

thanks

A: Hi Sanju,

If you've tried the free version and the extension has been able to capture the first page of data, there's a very good chance the pro version will be able to auto-page and capture all of the tables. I'm currently improving the auto-paging functionality as well, so it should only get better at automating the next-page button pressing.

Of course:
1) You can always reach out to me if it doesn't work and we can look into it togehter.
2) AppSumo will refund purchases.

Best,
George

A: This tool doesn't currently handle tables in PDFs. Great question!

(I'm hoping to add support for that soon, but there are a number of other tools that already do this and the code is completely different, so there's less overlap than you'd expect)

A: Tough to say. There's no guarantee it'll work on every table - there are so many varied ways to write a table that the add-on has to make a lot of assumptions, do its best!

If you want to hit me with a link to a table, I can respond with a video of how Table Capture can handle it.

Q: Hi there If it runs purely locally, then please let me know: Does it need the tab perma open to sync new ...

data in "real time" (on change or by interval?).

Also, can you consider adding an option to import .gzipped CSV files (many companies, especially brokers, provide CSV files of all trades but .gzip the file. I couldnt find a single solution being ale to go, fetch, extract and add those files on an interval.

A: Hi!

1) Yes, it runs purely locally.
2) There really isn't a real-time sync feature right now (and no on-change watching). That's coming, but as that may require a server-side component / a lot of Google Drive API writes, it'll be part of a separate subscription.

3) I'm not sure what you mean about "importing gzipped CSV files." Table Capture is for exporting data generally speaking. Definitely email me to discuss though!

Thanks!

Q: Hi, can I scrape data such as the question titles on sites like Quora?

And queries on Google? Thanks

A: No, I wouldn't compare it to Octoparse. Octoparse is scraping as a service.

Table Capture is a tool to get tabular data into your spreadsheet app of choice in a 0-config, 2 seconds sort of way.

Like...you're living your best internet life. You then run into a table and want it in Google Sheets or Excel. With Table Capture: Right click, launch, 2 clicks later you're done.

With Octoparse, you can have that table scraped, but first you have to define a scrape job. (I'm assuming - I've never actually used their product; I'm sure it's great!) It's a bit heavy for a lot of tasks. Also, the Octoparse standard plan is $75/month.

I can't say which tool is the right one for *your needs*. There's more info about Table Capture here:

Also, I'm happy to do a Zoom demo with you. Just hit me up!

Q: George here.

I'm Table Capture's developer / helicopter parent!

Table Capture has been a work in progress for the past 10+ years and it's still one. I created it for myself to get some transactions from my brokerage account into Excel, but its growth has been fueled by thousands of interactions with its users. Keep the feedback coming!

* I respond to every single email, bug report and chat! I read all the reviews. Please reach out if you need anything at all. *

Right now Table Capture's pretty great at handling a variety of tables and automating as much as possible (scrolling through infinitely scrolling tables, auto-paging through multi-page ones), but there's still lots of room for improvement!

I keep this roadmap doc pretty updated; give it a look to see what's on my radar:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/10wM8tSyatRIlKGM7bYYBHLbfCZANuO5ewoX2SnC8HMs/edit

Hopefully Coming Soon: Sub-page data extraction, real-time data synchronization between a page and Google Sheets, improved starred actions

Thanks for your support!
George

A: Soon this will be, but it'll require a special license (Table Capture Cloud) as there is a backend component necessary to stream the data (stock info in your case) to Google Sheets. Also, the writes to Google Sheets via their API are not infinitely free.

You can email me if you want to beta test that feature.

Thanks!

Q: Does this support webhooks?

A: Hi Russell, thanks for the question!

What do yo mean by "webhooks?"

Table Capture primarily captures tabular data that's displayed in webpages. It'll also capture data across multiple pages and data that loads as you scroll (which is typically tedious to export to your spreadsheet app of choice, ie. Microsoft Excel).

That being said, I'm always adding new features to the add-on. Would be interested to learn more about your use-cases if you feel like emailing me (g@georgemike.com). Would be happy to discuss on a call as well.

Best,
George
