Yes. Grabby is completely free right now, and everything is unlocked while it is in early access. Paid plans with cloud and team features are coming later.

No. Point and click, or let auto-detect do it.

What formats can I export to?

Download your data as CSV, JSON, Excel (TSV) or Markdown, or copy the whole table straight into Google Sheets or Excel. It all runs locally, so the file is yours.

Can it also grab emails, images, and detail pages?

Yes. Grabby extracts emails, social links, page metadata and images, and it can follow a column of links to pull fields from each detail page.

Is Grabby a free alternative to Instant Data Scraper?

Yes. Grabby is a free web scraper Chrome extension you can use in place of tools like Instant Data Scraper. It does point-and-click selection and auto-detect, handles pagination and infinite scroll, and also pulls emails, images, metadata and detail-page fields, then exports to CSV, JSON, Excel or Google Sheets.

Does it work on dynamic or logged-in sites?

Yes. It reads the page you actually see, so JavaScript content and logged-in pages both work.

Does it work on every website?

It works on virtually any site you can browse. Sites with heavy anti-bot protection or CAPTCHAs may block automated extraction, as they do with every scraper.

Where is my data stored?

Locally in your browser on the free plan. Nothing is uploaded.

Is web scraping legal?

Scraping public data is generally permissible, but many sites’ terms restrict it and personal data carries privacy obligations. Use responsibly and review each site’s terms. (Not legal advice.)
