Extract the local B2B graph with precision

Our Alignable scraper navigates dynamic profile loads, recommendation pagination, and network mapping to deliver structured business intelligence.

Full Profile Extraction

Capture business name, owner details, industry, location, and ideal customer descriptions directly from public profiles.

Recommendation Mining

Extract the full text of peer recommendations, including giver details, dates, and relationship context.

Service Tag Parsing

Categorise businesses by their exact service offerings and product tags to build targeted vendor lists.

Connection Mapping

Map local B2B networks and referral chains by extracting public connection graphs between regional businesses.

Event Tracking

Capture local networking events, host details, and attendee counts to identify active community members.

Ideal Customer Profiling

Extract target demographic text from profiles to understand exactly who each business wants to reach.

Geographic Radius Filtering

Target specific postal codes and cities to build highly localised B2B directories.

Change Detection

Only update profile records when new recommendations or service tags appear to reduce processing overhead.

Scheduled Modes

Run weekly or monthly local directory syncs to keep your internal CRM data fresh.

Under the hood

Navigating the complexities of professional networks

Alignable employs strict rate limits and dynamic loading to protect its directory. Here is how we maintain stable data pipelines.

Anti-bot layer
Residential proxy rotation

Alignable uses strict rate limits and IP reputation checks. Our crawlers use residential ISP proxies with realistic browser fingerprints and randomised request timing to maintain access.

Dynamic content
XHR interception for recommendations

Profiles load recommendations and connections via background API calls. We intercept these XHR requests directly to extract structured JSON rather than scraping the rendered DOM.

Authentication handling
Session state management

While basic profiles are public, deep network graphs require authenticated sessions. We manage cookie pools and session rotation to access permitted data layers without triggering security blocks.

Schema stability
Resilient selectors with fallback chains

Professional networks frequently update their UI. Our selector strategy uses multiple fallback chains per field so a layout change does not break your data pipeline overnight.

Monitoring
Pipeline health with anomaly detection

Every run emits structured logs to our observability stack. We alert on null-rate spikes for critical fields like website URLs and respond before you notice.

Why DataFlirt

"Alignable maps the local B2B referral economy, but extracting that relationship graph requires navigating strict rate limits and dynamic pagination."

Most teams underestimate the complexity of scraping professional networks. Reliable Alignable extraction requires managing session states, residential IP rotation, and handling infinite scroll pagination for recommendations. DataFlirt absorbs this infrastructure overhead so your engineering team can focus on data modelling.

Common questions.

About alignable.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Alignable legal?

Scraping publicly available business information is generally permissible. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated profile data, tags, and recommendations. We do not extract private messages or circumvent authentication walls.

How do you handle rate limits and bot protection?

We use residential ISP proxies, full Playwright browser sessions, and request timing modelled on human behaviour. We monitor for rate limit spikes in real time and trigger pool rotation automatically.

Can you extract email addresses from profiles?

We extract only the contact information explicitly made public on the business profile. We do not guess or generate email addresses.

Do you scrape peer recommendations?

Yes. We extract the full text of recommendations, including the giver's name, business, and the date the recommendation was posted.

How do you handle location based searches?

We can seed the crawler with specific postal codes, city names, or region identifiers to build highly targeted local business directories.

What is the latency for profile updates?

Full directory refreshes for a target region typically complete within a 24-hour window depending on the network density.

Can I request a sample dataset?

Yes. We provide a sample run of up to 500 profiles as part of the pre-engagement scoping process so you can validate schema fit and data quality.
