Real-Time Scraping

Zero-latency data harvesting for the fastest moving markets.

When seconds matter, our real-time engine delivers. Built for finance, betting, and high-frequency news monitoring where data age is the primary metric.

Some decisions do not survive a nightly batch. A price that moved at 09:14, a listing that appeared and sold within the hour, stock that ran out before the next run. Real-time collection is about the gap between a change happening and you knowing.

We collect on a short cycle and push changes to you as they happen, rather than delivering a file and leaving you to diff it. You get the change, not the whole snapshot.

What you get

Every record carries these fields

The schema is yours to change — add fields, drop fields, rename them to match what your systems already read. This is the default.

FieldTypeWhat it is
event_idstringOne change. Deduplicated at source.
entity_idstringWhat changed.
fieldstringWhich field moved.
old_valuestringWhat it was. Null on first observation.
new_valuestringWhat it is now.
source_urlstringVerifiable by hand.
observed_attimestampWhen we saw it, UTC.
latency_msintegerBetween our fetch and your webhook firing.
Sample output

One record, as it arrives

Webhook POST — JSON per event, or a stream if you prefer.

Values here are illustrative. On a real sample these are your products, from your target sites — see below.

{"event_id": "evt_0192af","entity_id": "SKU-10044","field": "price","old_value": "39.99","new_value": "34.99","source_url": "https://example-store.com/p/kettle-1-7l","observed_at": "2026-10-15T09:14:02Z","latency_ms": 310,}
Who buys it

What people use it for

E-commerce

Repricing triggered by a competitor move rather than by a nightly job.

Travel and ticketing

Inventory that appears and disappears inside an hour.

Trading and markets

Public signals where the value decays quickly.

What it costs

Three ways to buy, and what moves the number

Fixed price

A defined one-off project with a known scope and a delivery date.

Retainer

Continuous collection, weekly or monthly. Selector fixes after a site changes are included.

Dedicated developer

A scraping engineer working inside your team, for roadmaps rather than deliverables.

What drives the quote for real-time scraping

  • Cycle time. Every halving of the interval roughly doubles the collection cost.
  • How many entities are being watched.
  • How tolerant the sources are of frequent requests.
  • Delivery - a webhook per event costs more to run than a batched feed.

How we price it →

Your options

Build it, buy a tool, or have it run

All three are reasonable. Which one fits depends on how much of this you want to own.

Build it in-house

A short cycle multiplies every problem you had with a nightly batch. Request volume rises by the same factor as your frequency, sources start refusing you, and you need deduplication because the same page polled every minute mostly has not changed.

Buy a self-serve tool

Most tools are built around a schedule and a file. Pushing a change within seconds of it happening, to a webhook your systems already listen on, is a different shape of product.

Have it run for you

We run the polling at a rate each source tolerates and push you the change rather than the snapshot - the event, with the previous value alongside the new one, so your side does not have to diff anything.

Honestly

What goes wrong, and what happens then

Collection breaks. The question worth asking a supplier is not whether it breaks but whether you find out from them or from your own data.

A source rate-limits under a short polling cycle.

What it costs you

Collection degrades exactly when the data is most valuable, and you may lose access entirely.

What we do

Cycle time is set per source against what it tolerates, not globally. Where a source will not take one minute, we say so rather than degrading quietly.

A page re-renders without anything meaningful changing.

What it costs you

Your webhook fires on noise, and real events get lost among them.

What we do

Events are emitted on a field changing value, not on the page differing. A re-render with the same price is not an event.

Your endpoint is down when an event fires.

What it costs you

The change is gone, and a stream with holes is worse than a batch, because nobody knows it has holes.

What we do

Delivery retries with backoff and events are replayable for a retention window, so an outage on your side is recoverable.

Before you ask

What we will not do, for this service

  • Poll a source faster than its published crawl rules permit.
  • Promise a latency a source’s own update frequency cannot support.
  • Keep a source in a real-time plan once it signals it does not want that volume.

Questions people ask about real-time scraping

How quickly can you start, and how long does a build take?

Most projects start within a few days of the requirements being agreed. A single straightforward site is usually running within a week. Large multi-site pipelines take longer, and we will give you a schedule with the quote rather than a vague estimate.

What if a site blocks the scraper?

We build collection to be well-behaved: sensible request rates, proper identification and respect for published crawl rules. If a site does not want to be collected from, that is a signal we take seriously rather than a problem to engineer around. Where a site is simply slow or rate-limited, we schedule around it.

What formats can you deliver in?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or straight into a database. We can drop files to S3, SFTP or Google Drive, push to a webhook, or expose the data through a REST API. Tell us what your systems already read and we will match it.

What happens when a target site changes its layout?

It happens regularly, and it is part of what you are paying for. We monitor our scrapers, so in most cases we spot a break before you do. Fixing selectors after a layout change is included in retainer and dedicated developer arrangements. On fixed-price projects we agree a support window upfront.

How do you price the work?

Three ways: a fixed price for a defined project, a weekly or monthly retainer for ongoing collection, or a dedicated scraping developer working as part of your team. Which one fits depends on how often the data changes and how much of the work is ongoing rather than one-off.
