Solutions and Results
Do you want to scrape information from a wide range of websites?
Speak to us Today- Client provided the list of audio tracks and the list of websites from where data was to be extracted and reviewed.
- Given that audio track and album descriptions would vary across various websites, the team was trained to apply logic and intelligence.
- Customized crawler was developed which could crawl through multiple websites at the same time.
- The crawlers searched for keywords based on the audio track or album title and scraped the web pages containing those keywords.
- This data was scraped in the form of PDF documents.
- These PDF documents were then parsed for relevant information like Track Name, Duration, Release Date, Label, Copyright information & ASIN number & exported into .XLS files with the help of in-built OCR bots.
- Once the data was collected in the excel sheet, the data was put through a rigorous process of data normalization & standardization to ensure accuracy.
- Client received accurate information on the websites that listed the required audio tracks/album titles and the prices at which these tracks/albums were being sold.
- Client was able to cross-reference the information and generate leads by finding out artists who were not being paid for their copyrighted soundtracks or albums.
