Public-Data Scraping
Collecting information that's publicly visible on the web, like profile pages, in a structured, automated way.
Definition
Public-data scraping is the automated collection of information that is openly accessible on the web, such as public profile pages, business listings, or directories, and structuring it into usable records. It powers much of contact discovery. Responsible scraping uses only logged-out, public data, respects platform terms and rate limits, and records provenance. Trackyr's creator engines operate on public, logged-out data only.
