Owler Crawler FAQs
What is the Owler crawler?
The Owler crawler is an automated tool that discovers and collects public data from Owler at scale. You don't need a full list of URLs. You can start from a keyword, a category, a search URL or a specific page. The crawler finds the matching records and sends the data back in a structured format.
What is the difference between crawling and scraping Owler?
Crawling is about discovery: finding the pages. Scraping is about extraction: pulling specific fields from a page you already know about. A scraper needs you to tell it which URL to visit. A crawler finds the records for you and then extracts the data. Use the crawler when you don't have the full list of URLs, or when the list keeps changing, such as every item in a category or every result for a keyword. If you already have the exact URLs, collecting by URL is the more direct option.
How is the Owler crawler different from a Owler dataset?
A dataset is data that has already been collected, and you buy it as a ready-made file. The crawler collects fresh data when you run it, based on your own inputs. Pick a dataset if you want broad coverage right away with no setup. Pick the crawler if you need a specific scope, the latest data or collection on a schedule you control.
How is the Owler crawler different from using proxies?
Proxies are infrastructure. They send your requests through different IP addresses, but you still have to build and maintain the crawler, the parser and the unblocking. The Owler crawler includes all of it: proxy management, full browser rendering, CAPTCHA solving, data parsing and delivery. Choose proxies if you want to write and own the code. Choose the crawler if you just want the data.
Is the Owler crawler the same as Bright Data's Crawl API?
No. The Crawl API works on any public website. You give it a root URL, and it returns the site's content as Markdown, Text, HTML or JSON. The Owler crawler is built only for Owler. It returns ready-to-use fields specific to Owler, so you don't have to write your own parsing logic.
What inputs can I use to start a crawl?
It depends on the crawler you choose. Common starting points are a direct URL, a keyword, a category URL, a search URL, or a profile, seller or shop URL. You can send up to 5,000 URLs in a single bulk request.
Can I schedule recurring crawls of Owler?
Yes. The crawler supports batch and scheduled collection, so you can rerun the same crawl at regular intervals. This is useful for tracking changes over time, such as prices, availability, rankings or engagement numbers, without starting each run by hand.
Do I need to deal with blocks, CAPTCHAs or JavaScript rendering?
No. Proxy management, CAPTCHA solving and full browser rendering are all built in. The crawler runs on Bright Data's network of over 400 million real user IPs in 195 countries, so you can crawl Owler from any location without maintaining your own unblocking setup.
How is the Owler crawler priced?
You pay only for records that are successfully delivered. Failed deliveries are never charged. You can start on the free tier with 5,000 records a month and no credit card, then move to pay as you go or a monthly plan as you scale. Plan details are in the pricing section above.
Is it legal to crawl Owler?
The crawler only collects publicly available data. Bright Data's privacy practices follow data protection laws, including GDPR and CCPA. It also has a Know Your Customer process and a public Acceptable Use Policy. You are still responsible for making sure your own use of the data complies with the laws that apply to you.
