I Built a No-Code Web Scraping Chrome Extension — Click to Extract Data

The Problem

I often need to grab data from web pages. The traditional approach? Write a Python script, figure out CSS selectors, handle pagination... For a quick data grab, this setup time is ridiculous.

What I Built

DataPick — extract data from web pages by simply clicking on elements.

How It Works

  1. Click on an element you want to extract
  2. Pattern matching finds all similar elements
  3. Export as CSV
  4. Everything runs locally — no data sent anywhere

The pattern matching looks at tags, classes, and DOM hierarchy. Works in about 80% of cases.

Privacy First

All processing happens locally. No servers, no data collection, no accounts needed.

How do you handle quick data extraction tasks?
