Copying a handful of rows by hand is fine. Copying hundreds is a different problem — it's slow, it's easy to lose your place, and every dropped row is a data-quality issue you might not catch.
There's a point where manual copy-paste stops being merely tedious and starts being a real risk: past a hundred or so records, it's easy to skip one, paste into the wrong row, or lose track of where you left off. The fix isn't a faster way to copy-paste — it's not repeating the selection at all.
With ClickScrape, a Chrome extension, you click the fields you want on a single example record — say, the title, price and link of the first item in a list. From there, it finds the same fields on every other item on the page that matches that pattern, and keeps going as you move through pagination, load-more buttons or infinite scroll. You do the selecting once; the repetition is handled for you.
In an internal test, ClickScrape was pointed at an Etsy category page and set up to collect link, title, price, image and seller for every listing. It collected 126 records across 2 pages of results, with progress and a running record count shown as it went, and exported the result as a spreadsheet.
That's the shape of job this is built for: a bounded, browsable set of listing records that would otherwise mean opening and copying from each one by hand.

ClickScrape's Detail Enrichment can follow each record's link and pull those extra fields back into the same row, so you end up with one combined table instead of switching between two.
For the common case — a listing or directory you can browse yourself, with more records than you'd want to copy by hand — clicking once and letting the pattern repeat is the difference between an afternoon of copy-paste and a few minutes.
It depends on the page, but a few seconds to a minute per record is typical once you include finding the right fields and pasting them into the right cells — which adds up fast past a hundred records, and gets worse if you have to click into each item's own page for more detail.
You click the fields once, on one example record, instead of once per record. ClickScrape then finds the same fields on every other matching item on the page itself, rather than you repeating the selection by hand.
Yes, for pagination, “next” links, load-more buttons and infinite scroll — ClickScrape keeps collecting as you move through the results, so a 4-page listing ends up as one table, not four separate exports you'd have to merge yourself.
That's what Detail Enrichment is for — ClickScrape can follow each item's own link and pull additional fields from its detail page (like material, seller, or shipping info), merging them back into the same row as the listing data.
