Can I get competitor product and pricing information?

What is a Mozenda Agent?
A Mozenda Agent is an automated program designed to mimic the behavior of a human. With the Mozenda Agent Builder, you can quickly and easily teach an agent to perform certain actions on any website and then have the agent carry out those actions in an automated fashion. Examples of actions you would tell the agent to perform are to click items and to capture text.
Can I gather data on a schedule?
Yes. You can schedule an Agent to gather data at any time and on any interval.
Can I have the results automatically sent to me?
Yes. Mozenda currently supports sending the data to an email address or FTP server. You can schedule the data to be sent on a schedule or automatically when the Agent finishes. Alternatively, you can use the Mozenda API to programmatically access the data. For more information please visit http://mozenda.com/api
Can I be notified when my Agent is finished?
Yes. You can configure Mozenda to send you notifications when your Agent finishes successfully or when a problem occurs because of changes to the target website. You can also configure Mozenda to send you notifications when the data has been successfully sent to your FTP server or to you in an email. You can also be notified when data cannot be sent to you because of configuration problems or other delivery problems.
What file formats do you support?
Mozenda currently supports the CSV (comma delimited values), TSV (tab delimited values), and XML formats. All formats can be viewed by a standard text editing program or loaded into a database. The CSV and TSV formats can be viewed using any spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel.
Can I view my data in Excel?
Yes. Mozenda gives you the option to export the data file and open directly in Excel. Microsoft Excel and other grid-editing programs support loading the CSV, TSV, and XML formats. It should be noted, however, that Excel uses automatic formatting which may cause your data to appear incomplete or corrupted should the data be imported with the default settings. Always set your formatting to "Text" so that Excel interprets the data correctly.
Can I download files and images?
Yes. Mozenda currently supports downloading files and images as part of the data extraction process. Images and files are saved and downloaded subsequent to the data being extracted and provided in zip format.
Is your service anonymous?
Although Mozenda uses a distributed computing network with many different IP addresses, the current service is not entirely anonymous. In the near future Mozenda may offer a true anonymous service for those customers that require it.
Does your solution require programming?
No. If you feel comfortable using email, a web browser, and common office applications such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, you should have no problem using the Mozenda service. It's that easy!
Can your service handle JavaScript and AJAX?
In most cases, yes. However, if you are having trouble with a particular website, call us. Our support staff will be happy to help you.
Can your service log into password protected sites?
Yes. Anything a human can do from a web browser can be replicated using the Mozenda system.
Does Mozenda have an API?
Yes. Mozenda offers a REST API through which you can download data, run agents, and so forth. For more information please visit http://mozenda.com/api
Do you share or resell my data?
Customer data is considered proprietary and confidential by Mozenda. Mozenda will never share or sell your data to anyone else.
How are other people using Mozenda?
Applications of the Mozenda service are usually focused on facilitation, information, or consolidation. For example, Mozenda can help facilitate a powerful data automation process for an online store at the same time as gathering competitive pricing information. Another example would be a research firm that gathers information and analyzes it over time to create new value added information. A third example is a company who grabs disparate pieces of data from both web and internal documents and consolidates that information to create a previously impossible view of its business, customers, or competitors. The applications and possibilities of the Mozenda service are truly unlimited.
Is Mozenda a Web Crawler?
No. Web crawling is a different technology that specializes in getting common pieces of information such as phone numbers or email addresses from many different websites. Generally the user will provide the crawler with a list of websites or urls that the crawler will navigate through to obtain this information. Because of the varying nature of websites, web crawling does not obtain a high level of accuracy in the results it produces. Mozenda is a web data extraction software that specializes in gathering data from specific websites with a high level of accuracy. As a general rule, Mozenda works best where you have a limited number of websites containing large quantities of data.
Is Web Data Extraction Legal?
Mozenda provides tools that allow customers to capture data from virtually any website on the web. This practice of data scraping, data extraction, etc., is widely accepted as legal when dealing with open and publicly available information.
Can Mozenda Extract Data from PDF Documents?
Currently no. Right now we can only download the pdf documents and make them available for use. In the near future; however, we hope to incorporate pdf extraction capabilities into the existing Mozenda platform.
Can Mozenda Extract Data from Flash Objects?
No. Flash data extraction is not currently supported in the Mozenda system.
