About Company
Import•io turns the web into a database, releasing the vast potential of data trapped in websites.
Import•io is a platform that allows you to identify a website, select the data and treat it as a table in your database. In effect transform the data into a row and column format. You can then add more websites to your data set, the same as adding more rows and query in real-time to access the data.
By allowing you to extract, connect, fuse and consume disparate sets of data on a website import•io enables the creation of data-rich applications and tools.
Import•io wants to transform the way that data is used on the web. In the process eradicate the need to scrape data and bring us closer to the dream of the Semantic Web.
Import•io is an award-winning big data platform, aiming to democratize data, making it available to everybody. Whether you’re a programmer, analyst, or just want to be informed, we make it simple to get the data you need.
