What is Import.io?
Import.io is a UK-based web data extraction and retail pricing-intelligence platform, founded in 2012. It has a self-service, no-code extractor builder with residential IP pools and data standardization, plus a fully managed service where its team builds and maintains custom extractors and delivers data to a chosen cloud destination or API. A separate product line, Aperture, tracks competitor pricing, MAP violations, and product assortment for retailers.
Our verdict
Import.io fits large retailers that want a managed extraction team or dedicated price-monitoring tools, as shown by a customer base that includes Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Nespresso, and Marks & Spencer. Its self-service no-code tier sits behind that enterprise focus, and the most recent disclosed funding dates to a 2018 Series B, so it reads as an established vendor rather than a fast-moving one.

No-code scrapers let non-engineers extract data by clicking elements on a page or filling a template, then run the job on a schedule in the cloud. They trade the flexibility of a framework for speed of setup, which suits recurring extraction jobs and teams without a scraping engineer.
