Left you a PM and repped you. You show a lot of strength to openly engage with the community.
A really decent, supported scraper is hard to come by at any price. The one I used to use went up over the last few years to about $300/year. So I don't use it any longer.
I wish more developers would come here and offer deals on products. I'd rather have a supported product that's $10/month than something that breaks when I need it to work because it's hacked.
Then again, I'm not just collecting things that sit on my HD and never even get unzipped.
Hey guys! Thanks for all the feedback and extra thanks to the few of you that have gone ahead and purchased the program. I just wanted to mention since I am getting a lot of PMs that I am not really active user on this form so if you have a support problem or need to get in touch send me a message on the contact form at

This scraper is a BEAST! It has quite a few scrapers but I like the Google Full and Yelp Full scrapers. It takes a while to finish a scrape but I am getting very accurate business details and most have emails. Max +reps!
What was the bbhf discount?
i received a question today about proxies when using the local scraper tool. you will need a proxy or VPN if you use the tool a lot. i get the best VPN service for only $5.00 per month here:
works very well for me and it supports torrent downloads as well.

Are those emails captured found on individual sites when we're visiting their sites or the real email of those who own the site/business? Can you tell?
I am interested in this scrapper, at the monthly price, can you be so kind as to PM the details!
Cheers -

Listing sites like Yelp and Google Maps don't provide emails for listings. So the scraper has a secondary system that will visit the business website and spider though only the home, about, and contact pages of their site looking for a email.
I'll jump in here and say that this is the best scraper for the money that I've seen in the last 5 years that I've used data collection tools. And I have used and tried A LOT! My favorite, to be honest, was Lead Kahuna...until they went nuts and started charging hundreds of dollars a year for the d*** thing.
Local Scraper doesn't get down to the extreme level of detail that Lead Kahuna does - but neither does it cost $$$ It collects about 80% of what LK did, which is most times all I need to know before contacting a business.
Once you get the settings worked out (RTFM!) - including DECENT WORKING PROXIES - you can tear through Google and Yelp like they're blocks of butter.
Set it, let it run unattended, and come back a few minutes later to see that you've found HUNDREDS (usually) of businesses in the niche, city, category, or WTF you're looking for.
Very slick, IOW. If you actually do business with other businesses, get it.
Kudos to LocalScraper. I am definitely a fan!

I concur. Bought this as soon as I saw the post. Yes it does take a little fiddling to optimise the settings but beyond that nothing I've tried comes close to this.
