Hi @Marcel_Tanbic and welcome to the Community !

Marcel_Tanbic:

is there any way to Web Scrape Data from Websites into Airtable?

Possible : yes BUT…

• manually : WebClipper ;

• programmaticaly by Scripting API(s):
  Take a look at this thread (multiples answers including reflexions.)

A personal periscope shot on the subject brings me to this but it’s not a current priority in my own tech watch and development topics!
It’s just to show you in which direction I was looking to go in 2020, 2021.

Thanks for the quick reply! I’ve already got the Webclipper, but I’m more likely looking for a Script because there are about 80 URLs on one Website I need to check. Already tried some stuff, but nothing worked or just with big effort…

Here’s a tool that provides APIs for scraping:

To add to what @ScottWorld suggested - Simplescraper has a tutorial for scraping into Airtable.

I’ve used Simplescraper multiple times and it’s awesome. I haven’t used it to scrape into Airtable…yet!

Hey Remy, if you visit the dashboard at: Simplescraper — Scrape Websites and turn them into APIs you’ll find the Airtable integration.
