How Crawl Feeds evaluates technical feasibility before starting a project, including examples of what passes or fails.
Before we begin any data extraction, our team conducts a technical feasibility assessment to determine whether the requested websites and data points can be crawled reliably and ethically.
What We Check:
Site structure and stability: Is the HTML structure consistent across pages?
Pagination & load behavior: Does content load via JavaScript? Can it be accessed by crawlers?
Login or session barriers: Does the site require authentication or session tracking?
Anti-bot protection: Are there CAPTCHAs, rate limits, or blocks in place?
Data clarity: Are the requested fields clearly identifiable on the site?
Examples:
- ✅ Pass: A public category listing with clear product cards and static URLs.
- ❌ Fail: A private members-only site requiring user credentials and rendering content via WebSockets.
We communicate the feasibility outcome within 24–48 hours of project submission.
- Our team receives your project request and performs a technical feasibility check.
- We assess the target websites, data requirements, and crawling complexity.
