Web scraping
Automated extraction of structured data from web pages. Livescraper does this against Google Maps, Google Search and arbitrary websites — without you writing scrapers.
Data extraction
Pulling specific fields out of unstructured pages (HTML, PDF, JSON) and normalising them into rows. The job all six Livescraper tools do.
Google Maps scraper
A tool that returns business listings from Google Maps as CSV/JSON — names, addresses, phones, ratings, reviews, websites. Livescraper's flagship product.
Google Maps Place ID
Google's stable identifier for a place (e.g. ChIJN1t_…). Independent of language and address changes — the right key to dedupe places across exports.
Google Business Profile
The free Google product (formerly Google My Business) that lets a business control its Maps/Search listing. The data shown on a GBP listing is what scrapers pull.
SERP
Search Engine Results Page. The page Google returns for a query — organic results, ads, map pack, knowledge panel. Scraping SERPs is how rank-trackers work.
Lead generation
The process of finding potential customers (leads) and capturing their contact info. Livescraper's most common use case.
B2B lead generation
Lead gen specifically targeting businesses (not consumers). Pulling all dentists in Chicago with email + phone is B2B lead gen.
Lead scoring
Assigning a numeric value to each lead based on fit and intent. Helps sales focus on the leads most likely to convert.
Cold email
Outbound email to someone who hasn't opted in. Legal in most jurisdictions if relevant + has a clear unsubscribe; deliverability requires careful list hygiene.
Cold outreach
Any unsolicited contact to a prospect — email, LinkedIn, phone. Cold email is a subset.
Email scraping
Pulling email addresses from websites or Google Maps listings. Livescraper's email tool finds and verifies them.
Email validation
Checking that an email address is real and deliverable — syntax, MX, mailbox ping, catch-all detection. Cuts your bounce rate.
Data enrichment
Adding missing fields to existing records — phone numbers, social profiles, employee count, technology stack. Turns thin lists into rich ones.
Data cleaning
Fixing formatting, removing duplicates, standardising fields. Dirty data ruins outreach; cleaning is non-negotiable before sending.
CSV
Comma-Separated Values. The simplest tabular format — one row per line, columns separated by commas. Livescraper exports default to CSV.
JSON
JavaScript Object Notation. The standard format for API responses. Livescraper's API returns JSON; the dashboard converts to CSV.
API
Application Programming Interface — a structured way for software to talk to software. Livescraper exposes a REST API so you can run scrapes from your own code.
API endpoint
A specific URL inside an API that performs one operation, e.g. POST /v1/scrape/maps. Each endpoint has its own parameters and response schema.
Rate limiting
A cap on how many requests you can make per second/minute. Protects servers from abuse; means scrapers must pace themselves. Livescraper handles this for you.
Proxy
An intermediate server that forwards requests on your behalf — masks your IP and rotates locations. Used by every serious scraper to avoid blocks.
Pagination
Splitting a large result set across multiple pages. Scrapers must follow page links (or scroll) to capture every record.
Review scraping
Pulling every review for a business — text, rating, author, date, owner reply. Livescraper bypasses Google's 5-review limit.
Sentiment analysis
Automatically classifying text as positive/negative/neutral. Useful for review monitoring at scale.
Geocoding
Converting an address into latitude/longitude. Essential for plotting leads on a map or filtering by radius.
Reverse geocoding
The inverse — turning coordinates back into a human-readable address.
CRM
Customer Relationship Management software (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive). Where leads live after you scrape them. Livescraper exports map cleanly.
Firmographics
Company-level attributes used to segment B2B markets — industry, size, revenue, location, tech stack. The B2B equivalent of demographics.
Data quality
How accurate, complete, fresh and consistent a dataset is. Bad data quality wastes outreach budget; Livescraper's verification stack protects it.
Webhook
An HTTP callback your server receives when an event happens. Livescraper fires a webhook the moment a scrape job finishes — no polling needed.
