If you can see it in your browser, DataLens can scrape it.
There's no setup. DataLens reads each page fresh, so a new site works on the first try and a redesign won't break it.

Copy-paste can't reach nested replies, paginated lists, or prices rendered as images. An extension reading the live page can.
Why a browser extension
Three things copy-paste and cloud tools can't do.
01
It reads the page you're actually on
Logged-in pages. Values rendered as images. Replies nested three levels deep. Hundreds of rows across dozens of pages. If it's visible on screen, DataLens can read it.
Copy-paste captures one screen. Cloud scrapers get locked out or blocked.
02
No templates to build or maintain
There are no templates and no per-site rules to maintain. DataLens identifies the fields on every run, so a new site works on the first try and a redesign won't break it.
Template tools like Octoparse and Helium 10 break the moment a site changes its layout.
03
Every row proves where it came from
Click any row to see the exact page it came from, along with a snapshot and capture time. It's data you can defend.
Paste into a chatbot and you can't separate what's real from what it invented.
Before you install
Safety, privacy, and trust.
DataLens reads pages in your own browser, including ones you're logged into. Here are the four questions worth asking, answered directly.
Q1Will it get my account banned?
DataLens runs in your own browser and moves through pages at the pace you'd browse. There are no proxy servers and no automated request bursts from a data center. To the site, the activity looks like ordinary browsing, because it is. That's far lower risk than a cloud scraper requesting pages from the outside.
Honest limit
Normal browsing keeps the risk low.
Q2Where does my data go?
Two things leave your browser, and you should know which. To work out the columns, DataLens sends the page's structure to our server, which passes it to an AI model provider. When a run finishes, the extracted rows are uploaded to your DataLens account, so the run shows up in your history and stays re-downloadable. Nothing else is taken: pages you merely browse are not read, and we neither sell scraped data nor train models on it.
Honest limit
Deleting a run in the extension clears the local copy. To remove the copy held with your account, email support@datalens.uk.
Q3Can I trust the numbers?
Values are taken directly from the page, never guessed or inferred. Click any row to see its source, a snapshot, and the capture time. DataLens collects every row across all pages and reports the count, so you'll know if anything is missing.
Honest limit
If a site genuinely blocks reading, DataLens says so rather than inventing data. Even so, review the results before you export.
Q4I'm handling real people's data. Is that on me?
Yes, and it is worth being exact. Rows you extract — names and contact details included — are uploaded to your DataLens account with the rest of the run and sit there until you ask us to remove them. We do not sell them and we do not train models on them. How you collect and use that data, under each platform's terms and your local privacy laws, is your decision, the same as saving the page by hand.
