Under the hood

How our EdTech pipeline handles the hard parts

Great Learning uses modern SPA frameworks and dynamic routing. Here is how we extract structured curriculum data reliably.

JavaScript rendering
Full Playwright execution for SPA content

Great Learning pages are heavily JavaScript-rendered. We run full Playwright browser sessions with JavaScript execution and lazy-load triggering to capture dynamic syllabus accordions and pricing widgets.

Data extraction
Nested JSON extraction from Next.js

Instead of relying solely on brittle DOM selectors, our pipeline intercepts Next.js build props and internal API responses, extracting clean, structured JSON directly from the application state.

Anti-bot layer
Residential proxy rotation

To prevent IP bans during full-catalogue crawls, we utilise residential ISP proxies. This ensures uninterrupted access and allows us to capture region-specific pricing accurately.

Schema normalisation
Standardising varied syllabus formats

Different university partners display syllabi differently. Our extraction layer normalises these varied structures into a consistent, queryable format across all courses.

Change detection
Only sync fee and cohort updates

For ongoing pipelines, we maintain a hash index of last-seen values. Subsequent runs only push diffs, such as new cohort dates or fee changes, reducing downstream processing load.

Applications

Who uses EdTech data - and how

Teams across industries use greatlearning.com data to build competitive products and smarter operations.

01
Competitor Benchmarking

EdTech platforms track course launches, fee structures, and university partnerships to position their own offerings.

02
Curriculum Aggregation

Education portals and discovery platforms aggregate course data to build unified search experiences for learners.

03
Market Research

Analysts identify trending skills, tools, and domain demands by tracking new module additions across top programmes.

04
Lead Generation

Corporate training providers analyse curriculum gaps to pitch supplementary training to enterprises.

05
Academic Research

Researchers analyse EdTech pricing models, duration trends, and the impact of university branding on course fees.

06
SEO & Content Strategy

Marketing teams identify high-demand course keywords and syllabus topics to inform their content creation pipelines.

Why DataFlirt

"Great Learning holds a massive repository of modern curriculum data - but extracting structured syllabi across hundreds of university partners requires a dedicated pipeline."

Most teams underestimate the investment required: reliable EdTech scraping requires residential proxies, full JavaScript rendering for SPA frameworks, and daily selector maintenance. DataFlirt absorbs that complexity so your engineers can focus on the analysis - not the infrastructure.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the EdTech pipeline

Open-source tooling on proven cloud infra — no vendor lock-in, full observability.

ScrapyPlaywrightPython 3.12RedisPostgreSQLApache AirflowAWS LambdaS3CloudWatch2CaptchaCapSolverResidential ProxiesDockerKubernetesGrafanaPrometheus
Scrapy + Playwright Stack

Scrapy handles crawl orchestration and deduplication. Playwright handles JavaScript rendering and interaction flows. Combined via scrapy-playwright middleware.

Residential Proxy Infrastructure

We maintain pools of residential ISP proxies. Rotation happens per-request to bypass rate limits and capture region-specific pricing without triggering blocks.

Cloud-Native Orchestration

Pipelines run on AWS Lambda and ECS. Airflow handles scheduling, dependency management, and SLA alerting. All state is stored in managed Postgres.

Common questions.

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

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Great Learning legal?

Scraping publicly available information from Great Learning is generally permissible. DataFlirt targets only public course catalogues, syllabus outlines, and pricing data. We do not extract personal student data, circumvent authentication walls, or access proprietary video content.

Can you extract data from specific university partnerships?

Yes. We can filter and extract courses affiliated with specific institutions, such as UT Austin, MIT IDSS, or Northwestern University, capturing the exact branding and partnership details displayed.

How do you handle dynamic pricing and EMI tables?

We use Playwright to execute the JavaScript that populates these tables, allowing us to extract the base fee, discount percentages, and all listed EMI options accurately.

How fresh is the data?

For continuous pipelines, we can configure weekly or daily runs to capture new course launches, updated cohort dates, and fee adjustments. Full catalogue refreshes typically complete within a few hours.

Do you extract the full syllabus structure?

Yes. We extract the complete module-by-module breakdown, including module titles, topics covered, project requirements, and tools taught, normalising this data into a structured JSON array.

Can I track changes in course fees over time?

Yes. Every pipeline run produces timestamped snapshots. You can build a time-series table in your warehouse to track fee adjustments and discount patterns.

Can I request a sample dataset before committing?

Absolutely. We provide a sample run of up to 50 courses as part of the pre-engagement scoping process, allowing you to validate the syllabus structure and field completeness.
