Our story

Import.io’s core purpose is to empower businesses and the people behind them to make better data driven decisions

We enrich the relationships between consumers and brands, to empower data teams to do meaningful work, and provide businesses with vital data to make the best decision for their organizations. These are the key moments that have defined Import.io and continue to guide us along our journey.

Today, Import.io helps leading brands around the world gather billions of datapoints every year. We’re proud of what we’ve built, and this is only the beginning.

A strategic data partner

Put simply: We're here to help. The business climate today is more challenging than ever. Your organization needs up-to-date, accurate and complete data to power decisions. We're here to empower you to deliver the insights your business needs to better serve your customers.

We trialled, tested, advanced and excelled

Import.io has invested hundreds of development years into creating the world’s greatest technology and capabilities to provide web data. Why? Put simply, traditional methods of web scraping are not sustainable. Most of our projects involve replacing existing, underperforming tools or allowing internal teams to refocus on analytics rather than data extraction.

“Anyone can write a web scraper but managing and updating thousands of feeds every day is incredibly difficult.”
