Trust Center · Responsible web data

Define the purpose, source scope, and ownership before collection.

Connect a specific business purpose to named public webpages, the minimum useful record, collection cadence, destination, and accountable owners. Keep that scope attached to the service configuration and downstream use.

  1. 01
    Business purpose

    Decision, users, and expected value

  2. 02
    Approved public-source scope

    Domains, page types, markets, exclusions

  3. 03
    Minimum useful record

    Fields, context, cadence, missing states

  4. 04
    Downstream use

    Destination, access, retention, decisions

Operating principles

Turn a broad data request into a specific operating brief.

Give product, data, security, and business owners one definition of what will be collected, why it is needed, what each record means, and who governs its use.

01

Name the business purpose.

State the decision, intended users, and expected value. Use that purpose to set source, field, cadence, retention, and access requirements.

Purpose drives scope

02

List the public-source scope.

Specify domains, page types, markets, request context, and exclusions. A brand or domain name alone does not define a collection.

Specific source brief

03

Define the minimum useful record.

Choose the entities, fields, observation context, cadence, and missing states required by the downstream decision.

Purpose-led schema

04

Preserve observation context.

Keep source URL, requested market or locale, observation time, collection state, and schema version with each record.

Interpretable output

05

Assign downstream ownership.

Name the destination, access owner, retention and deletion owner, review process, and team accountable for decisions made with the data.

Governed downstream use

Service boundary

Know what your team governs and what the selected service operates.

The boundary changes by product. Your team sets the purpose, source scope, receiving controls, lifecycle, and downstream decisions. WebScrapingAPI runs the infrastructure, API, ready-data, archive, or managed-delivery tasks included in the selected path.

Purpose and source scope

Business purpose, intended users, public-source list, page types, markets, exclusions, and downstream decision.

Uses the supplied source brief and configuration to run the selected product path.

Collection and access

Collector behavior with proxies; requested targets, context, timing, and response handling with APIs.

Runs proxy connectivity, the documented API path, ready-data access, archive retrieval, or managed collection.

Extraction and record design

Customer parsing for proxy or unstructured outputs; required entities, fields, context, and missing states for structured paths.

Runs documented structured extraction or the defined Managed Data record specification where included.

Monitoring and maintenance

Customer-run collectors, applications, receiving systems, access, storage, and downstream controls.

Runs product operations and, for structured or managed paths, the included extraction monitoring and source-change maintenance.

Delivery and downstream use

Destination approval, user access, retention, deletion, interpretation, review, and decisions made with the data.

Returns the documented product response or operates the defined Managed Data delivery to the selected destination.

Recurring scope review

Revisit the scope when the project changes, not only when it launches.

Sources, fields, cadence, destinations, users, and business decisions change over time. Update the operating brief when the live program moves beyond its reviewed scope.

  1. 01Define

    Record the purpose, sources, required fields, cadence, destination, and owners.

  2. 02Review

    Resolve product, security, privacy, commercial, and customer-system requirements.

  3. 03Operate

    Run the defined scope and preserve the context needed to interpret each record.

  4. 04Observe

    Track source changes, missing states, destination access, and changes in downstream use.

  5. 05Revisit

    Update the review when a source, field, cadence, destination, audience, or decision changes.

Project scope

Turn the data requirement into a production-ready operating brief.

Send the business purpose, public-source list, required record, cadence, selected service, destination, lifecycle requirements, and downstream owner.
