What is Octoparse?
Octoparse is point-and-click scraping software for teams without developers. It detects data on pages, offers templates for common sites and runs extraction locally or in the cloud.
Octoparse is a desktop and cloud product for building scrapers visually, scheduling runs and exporting to Excel, CSV, JSON, HTML or XML. Paid plans add cloud extraction, IP rotation, CAPTCHA solving, scheduling and integrations with Google Sheets, Dropbox, S3 and APIs. The company, Octopus Data Inc., is based in Irvine, California, was registered in 2015 and has about 200 team members. An MCP server and a CLI, the latter still in beta, were added in 2026.
Octoparse AI features and use cases
- Detects data on a pageAuto-detect scans a page and proposes the lists, tables and fields to extract. Marketing or sales staff can build a scraper for a directory or shop without knowing HTML. Staff review and adjust the proposal before running the task.
- Repairs fields and paginationField Fixer, added in version 10.2.1 in August 2026, is an AI assistant that checks the data fields and pagination of a task and fixes them on request. Staff spend less time debugging a scraper when a site shows data in unexpected places.
- Starts from templatesMore than 680 maintained templates cover common websites. Teams that need standard data such as listings or reviews start from a template and adjust it. This shortens setup for recurring research such as price checks, and the template can be combined with scheduling on paid plans.
What sets Octoparse apart
- Visual scraper builder aimed at users without programming skills, with local extraction on the free plan.
- Discounts of 30 percent for start-ups for one year and education discounts for universities.

Questions to ask before you buy Octoparse
The privacy policy does not state where data is stored, and a DPA or certification was not found in September 2026; ask before running cloud extraction on sensitive data. The tool offers features for bypassing CAPTCHAs and bot protection: automatic CAPTCHA solving, which Octoparse itself calls CAPTCHA bypass, IP rotation and residential proxies. Using them can breach the target sites' terms of use and is legally risky in Germany, for example under Section 202a of the German Criminal Code (StGB) or database rights. Have their use legally reviewed before deployment. Extra services are billed separately from the plan.
