Bazhuayu is China’s most widely used no-code web scraping software, extracting data from websites with visual workflows.
八爪鱼采集器 (Bazhuayu) provides visual web data extraction for Chinese users, covering domestic and international websites. Users click through pages in a visual designer while the tool auto-detects lists, tables, and pagination, and cloud-based collection runs tasks at scale around the clock. It includes IP rotation, scheduled collection, and export to Excel, databases, and APIs. Templates and a task marketplace let beginners start quickly.
Bazhuayu’s dominance in the Chinese market comes from localization: it handles domestic sites, encodings, and anti-crawling mechanisms that international tools often fail on. The visual workflow builder requires no programming, and a large template library covers the sources Chinese businesses care about.
Cloud collection runs unattended at scale, with IP rotation and scheduling built in, and results export into the databases and spreadsheets where analysis happens. Community-shared tasks further shorten setup time for common sources.
Common use cases include competitor price monitoring, lead list building, and content aggregation for research teams. Cloud scheduling keeps datasets current without manual runs, and cleaning options handle the messy realities of real-world pages. Licensing tiers make it accessible to individuals as well as enterprises.
Bazhuayu offers a free edition with limits on collection volume. Paid editions are billed by usage tier and cloud features, with enterprise plans for large-scale extraction.
