Environmental Protection & Conservation
Our client is an environmental nonprofit organization that focuses on the health and well-being of the Great Lakes and their surrounding regions. In an attempt to maintain the region’s ecological balance, they create awareness about the impact of invasive species in the area.
The Challenge
Tracking invasive species sold online to protect the Great Lakes was critical—but shifting marketplace layouts and time-consuming monthly updates made it nearly impossible for the organization to keep up.
The organization needs to gather data from various online marketplaces to effectively track the potential pathways by which invasive species infiltrate the Great Lakes region. This included information on where these species were being sold, the types available, details about the sellers, etc. Making this change once a month was a significant time commitment, and the frequent updates to the website layouts and structures made it challenging for their in-house team to handle.
The Solution
ScrapeHero’s custom crawling solution delivers comprehensive surveillance of invasive species listings across major marketplaces (Amazon, Etsy, eBay, etc.) through:
Large-Scale Data Collection: Processes 30,000+ listings monthly with pinpoint accuracy
Seller Intelligence: Identifies 12,500+ unique sellers offering regulated species
Granular Data Capture: Extracts 300,000+ critical data points (pricing, location, seller history)
Time Savings: Automates what previously required weeks of manual research
This turnkey solution provides the organization with reliable, up-to-date intelligence to:
- Trace the introduction pathways of invasive species
- Monitor emerging seller trends
- Support evidence-based policy decisions
The Impact
The data scraped from online marketplaces helps the organization identify vendors selling illegal items, which are potential sources for the introduction and spread of invasive species. With this data, the organization can now:
Identify high-risk vendors selling prohibited species
Map introduction pathways into vulnerable ecosystems like the Great Lakes
Pinpoint where enforcement and education efforts are most needed
Strengthen evidence-based policy decisions
This targeted approach helps prevent new invasions while mitigating damage from existing threats.
