The Vanguard of Data Access and Integration for Enterprise and public Web data

No other product provides 100% complete coverage of all web data types, together with powerful transformation capabilities to execute your custom business rules. Moreover, Kapow easily integrates into your enterprise security framework with unlimited linear scalability. The Kapow Web Data Server is the only enterprise platform in the market that can wrap any existing website or web application into data feeds or programmatic interfaces (APIs) - all with no coding.

The Kapow Web Data Server is comprised of the Standard Edition core base product, coupled with feature rich modules adding advanced functionality according to your project needs, allowing for complete customization:

• Standard Edition: foundation of the Kapow Web Data Server
• Modules (extend the functionality of the Standard Edition base product):
  • Database module: direct support for storing and accessing data into any major SQL database
  • API module: provides programmatic runtime interaction with robots in real-time
  • Portal Clipping module: wraps existing web applications into JSR-168 compliant portlets for direct deployment to major J2EE portal platforms
  • Advanced Management module: adds enterprise class system administration and production monitoring capabilities
  • Content Migration module: extracts, transforms, and loads any web based content into a commercial CMS (Content Management System)

The Kapow Web Data Server is built upon three core functionalities (provided in the Standard Edition offering):

1. Design Studio Client IDE (Interactive Development Environment): a cutting edge visual-scripting client application that enables business analysts and developers to build, test and maintain robots with ease. All interaction is defined into visual process flow steps, which then execute to automate the interaction with a web site or application. Navigation and data extraction is easily accomplished using a point-and-click interface much like using a standard desktop web browser.

2. Web Based Management for robot performance administration, scheduling, monitoring, and even data browsing e.g., one click export to MS Excel

3. RoboServer — A highly scalable server that executes robots in a multi-threaded, multi-server environment for maximum throughput and performance.

Access Unlimited Web Data with Surgical Precision from the Most Secure Websites:

The Kapow Web Data Server provides access to anything on a web site (hidden or visible) including data tables, data structures and data types—all through the existing web interface with no need for direct database or API access. Read more.

Access Web Data Utilizing a Variety of Web Technologies:

JavaScript, AJAX and Flash® are extremely popular web technologies that provide richer experiences for users on the web but which also complicate the retrieval and display of web content. Kapow Web Data Server is unmatched in its ability to interact with websites that are driven by these technologies. Read more.

Access Web Data with Unmatched Scalability:

Kapow Technologies’ server performance is significantly more scalable than “web scraping” products that run as FireFox plug-ins or that attempt to automate popular browsers such as Internet Explorer® or Safari®. Our unique, high performance, Internet Explorer®-compliant “headless” HTML parser and JavaScript engine ensures the greatest possible performance in server environments as small as on a machine with a single physical processor to environments with multiple processors spanning across multiple physical and virtual machines.

Enrich Web Data through Custom Transformation Rules:

During the data extraction process, the Kapow Web Data Server performs comprehensive and unprecedented transformation and “cleansing” logic to ensure noise-free data quality. This enriches data completeness for higher quality data analysis and better results in the target application. Read more.

Serve Noise Free Web Data Automatically Where You Want to Load it:

Kapow Web Data Server – Standard Edition delivers output in standard formats like XML, CSV, JSON, and/or RSS for easy consumption by any data and feed consuming product. Through the Database Module, Kapow robots can automatically (with no SQL to write either to create tables or insert/update your data) serve their outputs to most any brand database desired with automatic configurable de-duplication. With Kapow’s API Module, outputs are delivered as data structures in Java or .NET or deployed as SOAP or REST services where their output XML can be consumed in real-time. In short, Kapow allows you to automatically put data where you want it to go whether to flat-files in a variety of formats, into databases, or into data structures within your preferred programming language i.e. executing robots as function calls.
