Hi ProductHunt community, I’m Henrique from Rows. Today we’re announcing RowsX, our first Chrome extension. It solves a problem I think we’ve all face a ton of times: getting data from a website into a spreadsheet. You can download the extension here: https://chromewebstore.google.co... We built RowsX to be the fastest way to scrape a table/list from a webpage into a spreadsheet. Here’s how it works: 1. You’re on a website (say a Wikipedia page or a list of LinkedIn search results) 2. Click on the RowsX extension. 3. It detects all the tables and lists on that page and gives your a preview of each. 4. You can copy the content to the clipboard or open it in Rows directly. It does not require you to be logged into to Rows, sign-up or paste API keys. Just install the extension, pin it, call it, and it works. It should work in thousands of websites without a problem, including: - Wikipedia - LinkedIn (search results) - Youtube (search results) - ProductHunt - Our World in Data - ChatGPT - GitHub - Y Combinator - NBA - Yahoo Finance - GA-4 - Google Maps - NFL - Yellow Pages - Stripe - Yelp - ebay - G2 - Tiktok - Hubspot (tables) - Zillow - NASDAQ - Stripe If you find a website where it failed to scrape the list, you can request it to be added. Let us know what you think in the comment section. Happy scraping, Henrique on behalf of the Rows.com team

@henrique_cruz1 Congratulations Henrique! That is a great idea and will help skip the boring and manual task of extracting and loading tables to Rows. Amazing product you and the team are building!

@rubenlozanome thank you! really appreciate it!

Congrats, it runs smoothly, but I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do after we extract the contents of the table. Copy? Or share?

@rick_fan the extensions copies it to the clipboard (grey button) or inserts it into a new Rows spreadsheet (yellow button). If you're logged in, it goes into your account, if you're not, it starts a new account for you.

thanks @rick_fan ! after it detects the table you can open it in a spreadsheet (in the yellow "Open in Rows" button) and then use the data as you wish
Lukas Rüger
Wow this is great !! @henrique_cruz1 Out of interest: How does this work from a technical perspective? Is it detecting the content from the HTML of the Website? Or does it use some kind of Image detection?

thanks @lrueger ! by default it detects the content from html tables on the website. for websites with lists (linkedin results, youtube results, etc) we manually build the logic site by site

Looks sweet! (And that DOMAIN, wow. Incredible.) This is brilliant because of: >It does not require you to be logged into to Rows, sign-up or paste API keys. Already checking out your main product, this is 100% how lead magnets should be done. A masterclass. Congrats on your launch. 👏

@esus thank you :)

I've been looking for a solution like this one for months. Tried many non-usable scraping tools and none of them really worked without too many friction. Congrats for the launch and keep it up!

@alvarovillalb_ wonderful - let me know how it goes!

@henrique_cruz1 Congrats for the launch and keep it up!

Seems like a very useful tool. I wish there was a landing page where I could look at the value it offers, because it clearly exists, it's just not self-explanatory. Congrats for launching!

Very interesting, @henrique_cruz1 I just had a conversation with someone recently about how Linkedin Posts information can't be accessed via their API. So that might be something to consider adding if not already included. Tools like Shield use an extension to scrape that data anyway - so it might be worth looking at. All the best!

@ranjit_bhinge this would be to scrape a list of posts from the Linkedin feed? We haven't built that, but we can add it

@henrique_cruz1 Hey Henrique and the Rows team! 🚀 RowsX seems like a game-changer for simplifying data extraction from websites into spreadsheets. 📊 Can you share a bit more about the technical wizardry behind the extension? How does RowsX seamlessly detect and preview tables/lists across such a wide range of websites without requiring user logins or complex configurations?
Surya
Congrats for the launch. It's a nice idea, so upvoted it. I have tested it and it works well on older ones which use html for data. I believe now-a-days google sheets/airtable are more often used. So, any chance for that workaround.
Henrique Cruz
Maker
@digital_surya thanks for the comment! you can also copy the contents of the table to a clipboard and paste it in other tools
Surya
@henrique_cruz1 I mean what if the website using google sheets to display data, in that case rowsx cannot pull data right.

Rows is great so congratulations on the launch of your first Chrome extension! Keep building awesome stuff guys!
