Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

Hi there! I’m Oleg - the serial entrepreneur with a technical background, and along with my friend Andrii, I’m running a web scraping service - ScrapingAnt. The primary goal of this service is to provide an ability to forget about the handling of your data extraction infrastructure and get all the needed data from the web using our easy-to-integrate API.

Most of our customers use our API to get data from NFT marketplaces, Amazon, Walmart, Booking.com, etc., so our tool helps businesses make decisions based on data. Commonly, our service’s ideal customer is a company or a private entrepreneur who can integrate the data storing solution with our API (a company has a person with programming knowledge or a whole team of programmers). Still, we also provide custom solutions (implement and run the data gathering code on our servers, so a customer receives pure data as a result).

In December 2021, we made a 7.1k $ profit, but it wasn’t the average month, as we got a tremendous one-time data extraction job. A usual month is averagely twice less in money.

What's your backstory and how did you...
