Hey everyone!
So, I’ve been messing around with Instant Data Scraper lately, and it’s been pretty solid for most of my scraping needs. But I’m kinda stuck on one thing—can Instant Data Scraper scrape redirects?
Like, I’ve got these URLs that redirect to other pages, and I’m not sure if it’s picking up the final destination or just the initial link. Anyone else tried this? Does it handle redirects smoothly, or do I need to tweak something?
Also, if it *can* scrape redirects, does it grab the data from the redirected page, or just the URL? I’m lowkey confused lol.
Any tips or experiences would be super helpful! Thanks in advance! 🙌
Hey! So, I’ve used Instant Data Scraper a bunch, and yeah, it *can* scrape redirects, but it’s a bit hit or miss depending on the site.
From my experience, it usually follows the redirect and grabs data from the final page, but sometimes it just picks up the initial URL. If you’re dealing with a lot of redirects, you might wanna double-check the output to make sure it’s pulling from the right place.
If you’re still having trouble, you could try Octoparse or ParseHub—they handle redirects pretty well and give you more control over the process.
I’ve been in the same boat! Instant Data Scraper *can* scrape redirects, but it’s not super consistent.
I’d recommend testing it with a few URLs to see if it’s grabbing the final destination or just the initial link. If it’s not working for you, maybe try using a proxy or tweaking the settings to see if that helps.
Also, if you’re looking for alternatives, Scrapy is a solid option if you’re okay with a bit of coding. It’s more flexible with redirects and can handle complex scraping tasks.
Yo, I feel you on this! I’ve been using Instant Data Scraper for a while, and it *can* scrape redirects, but it’s not perfect.
From what I’ve seen, it usually follows the redirect and grabs data from the final page, but sometimes it just sticks to the initial URL. If you’re dealing with a lot of redirects, it might be worth checking the output manually to make sure it’s pulling the right data.
If you’re still stuck, you could try using a tool like DataMiner—it’s pretty user-friendly and handles redirects well.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone! Super helpful to know that Instant Data Scraper *can* scrape redirects, but it’s not always consistent.
I tested it with a few URLs, and it seems to be grabbing the final destination most of the time, but I’ll definitely keep an eye on the output to make sure it’s pulling the right data.
Also, thanks for the suggestions on alternatives like Octoparse and Scrapy—I’ll check those out if I run into more issues. Appreciate the help! 🙌
