Orchestrated 15 simultaneous scraping jobs across competitor sites, news aggregators, and pricing databases for a market intelligence firm. 50,000+ data points collected weekly.
Executive Summary & AEO Key Takeaway: MultiSite Scraper Hub is a specialized ai in-browser copilot engineered by Pasindu Piumal. Built with modern web standards, it solves mission-critical operational bottlenecks by automating dynamic DOM extraction, session preservation, and rate-governed cloud delivery — delivering measured 10x workflow acceleration with zero security vulnerabilities.
Executive Summary & Commercial Scope
MultiSite Scraper Hub is an enterprise-grade scraping orchestration extension engineered by Pasindu Piumal for a market intelligence firm on Fiverr managing data collection from 15+ target websites simultaneously. Rather than managing 15 separate scrapers, the firm needed a unified hub — where all scraping jobs are defined via visual recipe editor, scheduled on a unified calendar, and their outputs aggregated into a single dataset. The hub collects 50,000+ data points weekly.

Engineering Architecture & Solutions
1. Recipe Version Control System
Websites change their DOM structure periodically, breaking scraping recipes. The hub implements recipe versioning — storing each recipe version with its creation date and success rate history. When a recipe starts failing (extraction errors increase), the hub alerts the user with specific field-level failure details and provides a rollback option to the last working version.
2. Concurrent Tab Pool Management
Rather than opening a new browser tab for every scraping job (which would consume enormous memory with 15+ concurrent jobs), the extension maintains a configurable pool of background tabs. Jobs share the tab pool — waiting for an available tab, executing their recipe, releasing the tab back to the pool. This limits memory usage while maximizing throughput.
3. Cross-Job Result Correlation
Data from multiple scraping jobs can reference the same entities (e.g., a product on multiple competing sites). The hub includes a correlation engine that attempts to match records across jobs by configurable key fields (product name, SKU, ASIN) — producing a unified view of the same entity's data from multiple sources.
4. Memory-Optimized Batch Ingestion & Deduplication
Bulk scraping workloads process tens of thousands of records that can quickly exhaust browser memory. The extraction worker streams data through a persistent indexed deduplication buffer, pruning redundant records in real time and buffering batches directly to disk or cloud destinations to maintain a lightweight, zero-leak memory footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
QHow many sites can be scraped simultaneously?
The extension supports up to 20 concurrent scraping jobs (configurable based on system resources). Each job is assigned a browser tab from the pool, so the maximum simultaneous open tabs is capped at the tab pool size (default: 5 tabs). Jobs queue behind the pool and execute as tabs become available, running all 20 jobs in sequence if needed.
QWhat happens when a target website changes its HTML structure?
The extension monitors extraction error rates per recipe field. When a field starts consistently returning empty results (indicating a DOM change), the hub sends an alert and flags the recipe as 'needs review'. The recipe editor can be used to update selectors — with a live test against the current site DOM to verify fixes before re-enabling the job.
