Pulling structured data out of a webpage is one of those tasks that always sounds simple until you actually try to do it. You highlight, you copy, you paste into a spreadsheet, you realize the formatting is broken, you try again. After fifteen minutes you have half a table and a headache.
The alternatives are not great either. Most paid scrapers start at $49 to $99 per month and assume you want to run thousands of jobs. The popular no-code platforms are powerful but bloated: you sign up, verify an email, sit through an onboarding flow, build a workflow, and only then get to extract one URL. For a quick SEO check or a competitor lookup, that is way too much friction.
So we built something smaller. Today we're launching the PromptSpace Web Scraper: a free, no-code tool that takes a URL and gives you everything you'd reasonably want from a static HTML page. No signup for your first scrape. No credit card. No 14-day trial countdown.
What it extracts
Paste a URL and the scraper returns a clean, structured snapshot of the page:
- Page metadata: title, meta description, canonical URL, declared language
- Social cards: full Open Graph and Twitter card tags
- Headings: every H1 through H6 in document order, so you can audit hierarchy at a glance
- Links: every link on the page, split into internal vs external, with the anchor text preserved
- Images: src, alt text, and width/height when declared
- Structured data: all JSON-LD blocks, parsed and ready to inspect
- Body word count: a quick proxy for content depth
That covers roughly 90% of what people actually use scrapers for: SEO audits, content inventories, link checks, and competitor research. If you need something more exotic, like rendered React content or behind-a-login data, this isn't the tool yet. More on that below.
How it works
Three steps, no learning curve. Paste a URL into the input on the Web Scraper page. We fetch and parse the static HTML on our servers and extract every field listed above. Export the result in the format you want and get on with your day.
Free, with a sensible quota
Running scrapers costs money, so there is a quota, but it's generous and the entire tool stays free. Anonymous users (no signup) get 1 scrape per day per IP, which is perfect for the occasional check. Signed-in users (Google sign-in) get 20 scrapes per day. Still free, just lets us tie usage to an account instead of an IP. We don't email you, we don't upsell you, and there is no paid tier hidden behind the login wall right now.
Export formats
- JSON: when you're feeding the data into a script, an LLM prompt, or another tool.
- CSV: when you want to drop links or headings straight into Excel or Google Sheets.
- Markdown: when you're pasting findings into Notion, Obsidian, a doc, or a pull request.
What people are using it for
- SEO audits: check title length, meta description, canonical, heading order, and OG tags in one pass.
- Competitor research: snapshot a competitor's landing page structure, internal linking pattern, and word count.
- Content migration: pull headings and links out of an old page before rewriting it on a new CMS.
- Link audits: separate internal from external links, scan anchor text, and spot broken patterns.
- JSON-LD verification: confirm your Article, Product, or FAQ structured data is actually present and well-formed.
- Image accessibility checks: list every image with its alt attribute (or lack of one).
Limits and ethics
A few things worth being upfront about. The scraper fetches static HTML only, so pages that render their content with JavaScript on the client will look mostly empty to us. Responses are capped at 5 MB and requests time out after 25 seconds. We block requests to private and internal hosts (localhost, link-local, RFC1918 ranges) so the tool can't be used as an SSRF probe. And we expect you to respect robots.txt and the terms of service of any site you scrape. This is a tool for legitimate research and audits, not for scraping data you have no right to.
What's coming next
The current version is deliberately small so we could ship it. The next things on the list, roughly in order: JavaScript-rendered scraping for SPA-style sites, scheduled scrapes so you can monitor a page over time, and batch URL input so you can run a list of pages in one go. If one of those would actually change how you use the tool, let us know which.
Try it now
Try the Web Scraper free, right now. No signup for the first scrape, no install, no card on file. Paste a URL and see what falls out.
FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes. Anonymous users get 1 scrape per day per IP. Signed-in users get 20 per day. There is no paid tier at the moment.
Does it work on JavaScript-heavy sites?
Not yet. The scraper reads static HTML, so single-page apps that render content client-side will return mostly empty results. JS rendering is on the roadmap.
Can I use the data commercially?
That depends entirely on the source site. You're responsible for following its robots.txt, terms of service, and any applicable copyright or data protection rules. The tool is just a faster way to read what's already publicly served.
Do you store the pages I scrape?
We keep minimal logs for abuse prevention and quota tracking. We don't sell your scrape history and we don't use it to train anything.
