ScraperWiki

ScraperWiki, now operating under the company name The Sensible Code Company, develops products that help turn messy information into useful data. Its original ScraperWiki product was renamed QuickCode to reflect its broader purpose: it is no longer just a web-scraping tool or a wiki, but a Python and R data analysis environment. QuickCode is designed for economists, statisticians and data managers who are new to coding, providing a place to work with data using these programming languages.

The company also offers PDFTables.com, a product for extracting tables from PDF documents. Together, these tools address different stages of working with difficult-to-use information, from gathering and analysing data to retrieving structured tables from PDFs. ScraperWiki’s listed areas of interest include academic research, digital government, intergovernmental organisations, business publishing, data journalism, marketing and lead generation, and consulting. The site also provides information about consulting, contact details, a blog, a newsletter and careers. Through its products and services, the company focuses on making data more accessible and valuable for people and organisations.
