👋 Hey, Product Hunters! Stepan here, CEO & Co-Founder of Hexact. We use dozens of websites daily for work, but the data these provide is usually gated. If you want to save search results, products, potential leads, listings, or any structured data, you need to resort to manually copy-paste data. And let’s face it, who’s got time for this? I’m excited to announce the beta launch of Hexofy, our super-smart browser extension to help you capture valuable data from LinkedIn, Twitter, Crunchbase, Reddit, and more. Best of all, you’re just one click away from saving this data to Google Sheets, CSV format, or your clipboard. Each week we will be adding support for more websites, and next month, we plan to launch a simple recipe builder right inside Hexofy, which will let you select fields you want to capture from websites we don’t yet support. Hexofy makes tapping into your favorite websites effortlessly with just one click. No tedious copy-pasting, complex software, or coding is required. To celebrate the beta launch, we have a special early access promo for you - Don’t miss out. Happy to answer any questions and suggestions you may have.

How are you, people! Bravo on the launch of Hexofy on Product Hunt! Looks interesting! What are your further plans? other than adding supported websites and recipe builder? Still, I think this product will be useful for people who work with large (or not so large) amounts of data on the Internet. Good luck!
Chris Closset
@ilyayaroshevichqa Our plan is to keep adding more websites weekly and then in April we will release the ability for users to select fields they want to capture from websites we don't yet support.

Congrats Hexofy team! Having worked with multiple clients who need data scraping, it is amazing to see such a simple tool that will not only remove the dependancy of BD teams to data Engineers, but also help data teams focus on the key element : DATA. Couple of feedbacks though 1. I don't mind paying for products, but it is very difficult to pay without trying it at least. 2. The pricing packages breakdown by pages isnt super clear. What is one page on Product Hunt for instance ? Looking forward to testing it !
Chris Closset
@majdi_rabia Thanks! 1/ You can download our chrome extension to try it out before buying (link is in the footer of our homepage) 2/ When you click the browser extension button say on product hunt, we will capture all the listings displayed on the page. This will count as one page captured. Personal plan lets you capture 500 pages per month, unlimited & team are unlimited. Hope this helps.

Congrats guys on the launch! Is your product simpler than Segment or what's the difference between your tools and Segment?
Chris Closset
@huy_doan_quang I recommend checking our video demos. Hexofy is a super simple to use browser extension which provides 1-click access to data from some of the most popular websites we use daily, right into Google Sheets.

@saslanyan Congratulations to Hexofy for creating a 1-click web scraping tool that makes data collection super simple. The Chrome extension eliminates the need for copy-pasting, streamlining the process of data collection from any webpage. Great job! Question: How does Hexofy ensure data privacy and security while scraping web pages? Is it possible that the robots.txt rule will be ignored if I start from the webpages?
Stepan Aslanyan
@oe_zheng Thanks! In terms of data privacy, there is no issue. Hexofy structures the data already loaded in your browser and copies it to your clipboard (or sends it to your google sheet). So no bot access to the page or content, the only thing Hexofy does is check the URL and load the parser if it exists.

Your website doesn't show a demo or actual screenshots. There's only one picture in the chrome web store and it doesn't look very inspiring. I'd be happy to pay $50+ for such a tool, but I need to know more about it. Do you offer trials?
Chris Closset
@kristie_hartin You can download our chrome extension (the link is in the footer of the Hexofy homepage to try out for yourself. Also I recommend checking the video demos I recorded (these are on the homepage too) .
Paul Sobiecki
Congratulations on the launch! This tool will help save so much time, and create a personal database of all things important - and I know that in the jungle of stuff I want to save for the future, it is easy to get lost. Nice one!
Chris Closset
@pausx Cheers, much appreciated.
Fardeen Khan
Am I the only one not being able to run this anywhere? can't seem to get it to work on PH, LinkedIn, Twitter 🤷‍♂️ (I use brave) Hope you guys can have a look at it.
Chris Closset
@fardeenkhan Can you try using Chrome or Opera, we don't support Brave yet.
Oleg Avrah
Hi! Just tried the extension. Always get: "Oops looks like we can’t capture data from this page yet." Tried with Amazon and ProductHunt. Is it me or there is an issue?
Chris Closset
@oleg_avrah Can you try again with ProductHunt's homepage? Team is currently fixing an issue with Amazon right now. Thanks
Ivan Pelypenko
@saslanyan Congratulations on the launch of Product Hund! I wish you all the best and believe it is an exciting product. May it bring remarkable success to you and your team!
Leo Wendler
@saslanyan congrats on the launch :) Looks great
Chris Closset
@saslanyan @leo_wendler Thanks for the support.
Dmitry
Hey @saslanyan Great product. Thank you so much for not using the trending AI hook for launch. Good luck with the growth. Upvoted. 
Chris Closset
@saslanyan @atominte haha, yes, everything launching seems to be powered by GPT 3.5 or ChatGPT these days :)
James Welch
Just downloaded the extension and tried on Linkedin searches but it says: Oops looks like we can’t capture data from this page yet. PS: Soon you will be able to create your own scraping recipes inside Hexofy. I would happily pay $50 for such a tool btw.
Chris Closset
@embryo Try it on a profile page for now. Team is fixing the search page right now.
James Welch
@leverager thank you. i tested it now and it works amazing. I just signed up to the $49 package and it instantly became one of my favourite tools. it is BRILLIANT at collecting lists from searches. I have just built an amazing list of marketing directors in the UK in a matter of minutes
Aryan Chauhan
I'm not a developer, but I still need to scrape data from websites sometimes. This tool has made it so easy - I can do it right from my browser with just one click. Highly recommend!
Stepan Aslanyan
@aryan_chauhan5 Thank you Aryan!
Chris Closset
@aryan_chauhan5 Now anyone can capture data, no need for coding skills!
Lucky Arora
I'm blown away by how easy this tool is to use. It's perfect for anyone who needs to scrape data from websites but doesn't have a lot of technical knowledge. Highly recommend giving it a try.
Stepan Aslanyan
@lucky_arora4 Thanks a lot!
Chris Closset
@lucky_arora4 Thanks, we tried to distill it to its simplest form!

Super promising tool from team which created my favorite scraping/automation tool " hexomatic". Will the future "select fields you want to capture from websites we don’t yet support" also allow to simply copy *all* fields of structured data? I personally think it's much easier and faster to copy by default all data and then delete, in Google sheets, the columns I don't need.
Chris Closset
@torsten_p From April we will have a recipe builder, where you can click on an element and select this or all matching elements. For example selecting a product name in a list of products, you'll be able to capture all product names in one column, or a specific product name. Once saved, next time you go to the same type of page of the website, you'll be able to capture in 1 click.
