Effective Methods for Scraping Company Names from Websites

·Jan 12, 2026 08:10 PM·

Has anyone found a good/successful way to scrape company names from any website? For example: https://mroamericas.aviationweek.com/en/exhibition/exhibitorlistEP.html

Jonathan M. within Clay this is probably not possible since the site uses nested and scroll-activated elements. I was able to extract the list via some direct web scraping tools, here is a sample.

Thanks Aaron, do you mind we asking which web scraping tool you used?

Jonathan M. there are a few out there I like. For one-page scrapes, the Instant Data Scraper extension works nicely. You'll need to first find the direct link for the nested directory if you want it to work for this purpose. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/instant-data-scraper/ofaokhiedipichpaobibbnahnkdoiiah

For more complex web scraping, Octoparse is pretty useful and cheap/free depending on your use case.
