Yes — there are several tools that support bulk scraping and scheduled runs. The best choice depends on whether you want a no-code tool, a browser automation tool, or a developer-oriented scraping platform.

No-code / low-code options

  • Octoparse — visual scraping, supports large-scale extraction and scheduled tasks.
  • ParseHub — can automate recurring scrapes and handle bulk data collection.
  • Import.io — enterprise-focused, built for recurring scraping and structured data extraction.
  • WebHarvy — easier desktop-based scraping with scheduling options.

Developer / automation-focused

  • Apify — very popular for scalable scraping, scheduling, and cloud execution; supports bulk jobs.
  • Browse AI — easier automation with recurring monitoring and scraping.
  • Puppeteer / Playwright + cron — if you’re building your own solution, these can be scheduled with a scheduler like cron, Airflow, or GitHub Actions.
  • Scrapy + Scrapy Cloud / scheduler — good for large-scale scraping if you’re comfortable coding.

Enterprise / workflow platforms

  • Diffbot — structured extraction at scale, with recurring crawls.
  • Zyte — scraping infrastructure and managed extraction services, often used for scheduled crawling.
  • Bright Data — infrastructure plus scraping tools/services, can be scheduled via your own workflows.

Things to look for

If scheduling is important, check whether the tool supports:

  • Recurring jobs or cron-like schedules
  • Cloud execution so your machine doesn’t need to stay on
  • Export/webhook/API delivery
  • Large concurrency / rate limiting controls
  • Proxy management and anti-bot handling

If you want, I can recommend the best tool for your use case based on:

  1. website type,
  2. volume of data,
  3. whether you want code or no-code, and
  4. where the data should go (CSV, database, API, etc.).
