ClipCSV: A Chrome Extension for Extracting Data in CSV Format
ClipCSV is a Chrome extension that allows users to extract and download desired data in CSV format while browsing specific web services such as social networking sites. This extension operates exclusively on the Google Chrome browser and is not compatible with other browsers.
The ClipCSV extension detects the displayed content on supported services and converts it into CSV format, making it downloadable. While it employs techniques similar to web scraping, it is designed to limit excessive load on the supported services and does not automatically retrieve data. It only allows users to extract and save the displayed content through manual interaction.
To get started with ClipCSV, users need to install the extension and register an account on the official website, clipcsv.com. Subscribing to a plan is required, but a free 3-day trial is available, and users can cancel without any charges during the trial period.
Once both the installation of the Chrome extension and subscription are completed, users can begin extracting data from the supported services.
ClipCSV currently supports various services and content types, including X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Threads. For X, users can extract retweeters, quoted retweeters, favoriters, friends, followers, and perform searches related to topics, latest tweets, accounts, images, and videos. Instagram extraction options include likers, user feeds, and hashtag searches. Threads extraction options include likers, followers, and friends.
Please note that regular timelines and other types of content are not included as extraction targets to avoid potential slowdowns in site performance.
More services and content types that can be utilized for marketing purposes are planned to be added in the future.
