If youโ€™re a regular Grepsr app user, you may have noticed a slightly modified navigation bar with some new icons at the top of the Grepsr data extraction platform.

Previously, all projects would be listed in one place. Now, to make things simpler and more streamlined, weโ€™ve separated the app into two parts based on how projects are created:

  • Grepsr for Chrome
  • Grepsr Concierge

Grepsr forย Chrome

Ourย Chrome extensionย is your first line of contact with us. When you install the extension, sign up and build a project, the project gets saved under your account into the app where you can view the data being collected in real-time.

In the app, this is where the projects youโ€™ve created using the browser extension are located. Theyโ€™re marked with a small grey Chrome icon on the projects list as shown in the screenshot below.

Grepsr Concierge

The core concept ofย Grepsr Conciergeย is to provideย data as a service.

As powerful as the Chrome extension is, its capabilities are still limited in some cases where a website is poorly structured, inconsistently laid out or designed, etc.

Itโ€™s exactly for such situations that weโ€™ve built the concierge service. You just need toย detail your projects requirementsย via email or ourย contact formย by specifying:

  • URL(s) (with search parametersโ€Šโ€”โ€Škeywords, locations, etc.โ€Šโ€”โ€Šwhere applicable)
  • Data field(s) to extract
  • Frequency of the extraction

Alternatively, in case youย already have a Grepsr account, simply create a new project using the button at the top right when youโ€™re on the Concierge section of the app. In theย resulting page,ย fill out the formย with your project requirements and submit!

We know youโ€™re busy, so while you take care of other things, leave the data sourcing to us. Our team of specialists will set up the project on your behalf, run the extraction and deliver the data as soon as itโ€™s ready!

In the app, projects so created are now listed in the Concierge section.

Missing Projects? Fear Not! Theyโ€™re Stillย There

For some of our users, the changes seem to have been so sudden that theyโ€™ve reported their projects as โ€œmissingโ€, โ€œlostโ€ or โ€œdisappearingโ€.ย Spooky!

But rest assured, thereโ€™s nothing supernatural going onโ€Šโ€”โ€Štheyโ€™re safe, just moved to either of the two new sections.

We admit this may be a little annoying at first, but youโ€™ll see the benefits going forward.
