‘Magic’ – Quickest Way to Turn Webpage Into Data
From the post:
import.io recently launched it’s newest feature called ‘Magic’.
The tool, which they are providing free of charge, is useful for transforming web page(s) into a table that can be downloaded as a static CSV or accessed via a live API.
To use Magic, users simply need to paste in a URL, hit the “Get Data” button and import.io’s algorithms will turn that page into a table of data.The user does not need to download or install anything.
I tried this on a JIRA page (no go) but worked fine on CEUR Workshop Proceedings.
I will be testing it on a number of pages. Could be the very thing for one page or lite mining that comes up.
Enjoy!
I first saw this in a tweet by Christophe Lalanne.
